Turkey Day may have come and gone, but we're still giving thanks for a few of our favorite style essentials. We've been dishing on our most-loved looks all week, most recently touching upon our undying adoration for nude heels, dry shampoo and leather moto jackets. Today we're sharing our final fabulous set of must-haves that have won our loyalty over the years. So, as you step out to battle the crowds of stylish shoppers this Black Friday, consider investing in these gems if you haven't already.

Statement Necklaces: If you can only invest in a single piece of jewelry, look no further! Whether you need to accessorize ev evening gown or a simple tee, an eye-catching statement necklace instantly adds glamour to just about any outfit. Best of all, it offers enough glitz to make additional baubles unnecessary. Jaime King dresses up her long-sleeved purple top with a stunning Christian Dior statement necklace.

Styles We're Thankful For: Leggings, Wrap Dresses and Wide Belts

Gel Manicures: There's nothing worse than having our pretty painted nails chip mere days—or minutes!—after sitting down for a meticulous manicure. Enter chip-proof, long-lasting gel nails. Katy Perry, who adds playful pops of color to countless outfits with gel nail art, is a fan of the long-lasting beauty treatment, and so are we!

Little Black Dress: What's not to love about the tried-and-true LBD?  Its black shade is universally flattering, and its small size adds instant sex appeal. But best of all, it's one of the most versatile pieces known to womankind. Throw a blazer over it to dress it down, add a flashy accessory—we suggest a statement necklace—to dress it up; or invest in one with a visually interesting detail like Ashley Greene's LBD with sheer insets to shake things up.

We've loved sharing our go-to styles with you this past week, but now it's your turn to weigh in. Did we miss any of your fave styles? Let us know in the comments!
