Peep our very own, editor-approved shopping list right here!

Shopping for your best friend and the guy in your life is fun, but let's be real for a sec: nothing really stacks up to that exhilarating rush you get when you find something that you've just GOTTA have for yourself. It makes braving the malls on Black Friday (yikes), elbowing strangers, and even that inevitable dip in your bank account 100% worth it. This is how we felt, at least, while putting together the 2012 Treat Yo'Self Holiday Gift Guide. The title may have been lifted from Donna and Tom in Parks and Rec, but the sentiment is still there. All of the editors here at MTV Style have rounded up everything that we're subtly-not-so-subtly adding to own personal wishlists this season. From our closets (animal sweaters, custom jackets, and accessories galore) to our beauty drawers (makeup, skincare, and manicures) to even our dream bike, consider this list the Sparknotes guide to all of our latest obsessions....and yeah, we've got a feeling you'll love it, too.

CLICK THE PICTURE FOR MORE!

It's time to face the facts, people. The holidays are officially here, which means, yes, every store you walk into for the next 30+ days is going to be blaring some Christmas-themed jingle that you (perhaps literally!) cannot escape.

But, like, how do you pick out something new and cool when SO much stuff already exists out there? Don't worry friends, we've got it covered.

When it comes to wish lists, we've all got a system. (Compulsively updating an Excel spreadsheet since January? Ahem, our MTV Style gift guides? Ripping scraps of gadgets as you pour through Sky Mall? No shame.) Whatever your method, Urban Outfitters lends a hand in the TOTAL crazy-making that is holiday shopping with its 'UO Nice List.' Every week, Urban enlists heavy-hitting tastemakers to curate wish lists of their favorite UO items and OMG it's like we can see into their souls. This week, Tavi Gevinson, Bethany Cosentino and more designer, musician and fashion friends flex their pointer fingers to show us their magic touch!

A still from Keep + Bon Iver's new video.
Photo: Courtesy of Keep.

When we first told you about Bon Iver's new collaboration with footwear company Keep, we thought it couldn't get any better. Let's be honest: the salmon low-tops designed by Justin Vernon himself are probably the closest we'll come to literally walking in rockstar shoes. With a black herringbone detail, these unisex kicks are classic, comfy, and retail for a wallet-friendly $75. Plus, the fact that the proceeds go to help abandoned animals is just the icing on the cake. But prepare yourselves, because the musical frontman has gone and outdone himself with a new video for the sneakers that stars- are you ready for this?- KITTENS AND PUPPIES. Soundtracked by Bon Iver's twinkly track "Baby," you really have to see it to believe it. So take a deep breath, prepare yourself for cute overload, and watch the clip below!

The Wildfox Couture world goes a little something like this: super cute t-shirts, dresses, and oversized sweaters set in a land of sunshine, pop culture, and an unlimited closet. Throw in some '90s grunge and Romeo and Juliet lines and there's pretty much NOWHERE else we'd rather be. Clearly we're not the only ones in love, since the L.A. brand has become an unofficial Young Hollywood uniform since the label first burst upon the scene in 2007. So what's the secret? According to founder and designer Kimberley Gordon, their recipe for success involves pop culture references, perpetual California dreaming....and a little help from their friends, Lindsay, Demi, and Beyonce (no last names necessary). Get the lowdown from Kim herself below!

Sasha Obama Malia Obama

Alright, so we all know that last night's election was really all about Barack Obama. And it should be! He IS the newly re-elected Commander in Chief, and all. But the President wasn't the only one killing it onstage in Chicago, since the girls in the family brought some serious fashion A-game. Michelle is already a style icon on her own, looking stunning per usual in Michael Kors — but if you ask us, we think Malia and Sasha deserve a shoutout of their own! Both clad in knee-length tulip skirts (shimmery blue for Malia, green printed for Sasha) and dark tops, the First Daughters worked these totally cute, totally holiday season-appropriate outfits perfectly. So can you really blame us for dying to copy them? Um, no way.

It may be over a week now since Hurricane Sandy first hit the East Coast, but the storm's devastating effects are still being felt today. These tragic times, though, have brought forth some beautiful examples of American solidarity, hope, and generosity in response, including but certainly not limited to reactions from the fashion community. Just yesterday, Ralph Lauren donated $2 million to Hurricane Sandy relief efforts, citing his love and support for New York as his biggest motivator. Countless retailers are carving out major percentages of their sales and donating them to the American Red Cross, and even jewelry house Langoliers is giving a portion of their most recent auction's final sale to the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief fund. In the same vein, there are a number of opportunities for you to help AND get something fashionable in return. We've rounded up for you some of the most stylish goods available that were both designed with Sandy in mind AND are donating sales dollars to the relief effort!

NEW YORK HURRICANE SANDY RELIEF TEES

+ Grey Area New York Hurricane Sandy Relief T-Shirts: These Hurricane Sandy Relief tees by Grey Area are ridiculously cool. It's not just because the ombré and dip-dye designs are perfectly on-trend. We also love them because 100% of the profit from the "I Still Love NY" and "Manhattan Blackout" shirts is being donated to Sandy relief programs in our NYC home.
