It doesn’t take being a Twihard to be a fan of Kristen Stewart’s style.

Nothing satisfies our shopping addiction more than investing in versatile pieces. A tailored pencil skirt easily makes the list of guilt-free purchases. With a variety of colours and styles to choose from, there’s really no excuse for not experimenting with this flattering sartorial staple.

The value of a pencil skirt is perhaps best realized in its ability to take you from day to night. Whether you prefer a classic black midi skirt such as the Calvin Klein style Rooney Mara recently pulled off, or a fun embellished one such as the Burberry Prorsum knee-length skirt Blake Lively dazzled in, the sleek form fitting design combines an office-appropriate length with a nightlife-appropriate wow-factor. Our September cover girl Olivia Wilde knows how to wear a pencil skirt. She recently stunned in this red-checkered A.L.C. midi skirt, giving us all a lesson in print. Wilde paired her skirt with a black leather top and metallic clutch confirming that the styling possibilities for this must-have piece are endless.

While the ESPY (Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly) awards may be a celebration for the superstars of the athletic world, it was A-list stars Selena Gomez and Olivia Wilde who stole our attention on the red carpet. Both wore red—a nod to this season’s primary colours trend, perhaps?—but it’s up to you to decide who deserves the title of best dressed.

It’s hard to imagine that Selena Gomez was eating KFC only hours before hitting the event. Though she may have a petite frame, the singer showed off her long legs in a red dress by Dolce & Gabbana from the Fall 2013 collection. (While the runway version hit at the knee, Gomez was wise to wear an altered mini-dress version.) Complete with three quarter sleeves, lace and jewelled embellishments, Gomez certainly stood out on the red carpet. Accessories were kept simple: she paired her outfit with black pointed-toe heels by Casadei and accessorized with jewellery by Neil Lane. Gomez’s hair was left down in soft curls—her signature style, really—and she finished off her beauty look with rosy cheeks and red nails to match her sultry red pout.

Just as the daily go-go-go grind has come to expect of us, we’ve taken to expecting a little bit more from our purchases. Even without being a total workaholic, those (many) busy periods are made that much easier with some added—and often much-needed conveniences. We’ve rounded up some multi-functional items to make life run that much smoother when push comes to shove, letting you focus on what counts. From breathable runners to anti-aging lipgloss to reversible clothing, these items might just keep you from pulling your hair out when things begin to pile up.
