In the midst of all of the end-of-year madness, sometimes it's nice to take a breather. Let's face it: Holidays may mean you take off time from work, but they're no vacation.

To get some true you time, you're taking a weekend escape to a friend's cabin up in Lake Tahoe. I started you off with this Floral Crochet Hat ($28) because it's a cute topper and will keep your head cozy. Be sure to check out all the Winter escape Fab Finds.

Let's see what you all came up with!

Oh! Now, you can build outfits by creating a list of clothing items. We have everything you need to build outfits with, and you can use your Fab Find bookmarks, too. This is an even better way to put together an entire outfit when you are completing your Fab Finding missions.

Look #1, created by fashionhore, is very Winter chic; I love the draped neckline of the coat and the unexpected pumpkin-colored gloves.

Aren't cardigan dresses a fabulous fashion innovation? And this Spring & Clifton's Striped Cardigan Sweater Dress ($80, originally $245) is a sophisticated, sporty look. It comes in navy and burgundy as well as black and green. But be warned: This dress is meant to be worn snug so only get it if you're ready to show off those curves!

Antiwar. Antimeat. Antifashion (gasp!). Is there anything Hippie Dude isn't anti? I'm sure he'd be happy to know about the green fashion movement; then again, it's been his cup of green tea since he left home to attend Humboldt University. But ok. Send these websites his way: Sweatshop Watch, Behind the Label, and Free Cycle, and he has to be impressed. Hippies are indeed hard to shop for, here are some hippie-keen ideas.

Rachel Bilson is in the lead for Best Celebrity Sidewalk Style, but I have to say she cleans up quite well for the red carpet. I searched far and wide for her darling, studded turquoise dress because I think everyone should have one just like it. Phillip Lim's version is quite similar and on sale! In true Rachel style, she kept the rest of her outfit casual with the silver wedges and a simple black clutch. From the sidewalk to the red carpet, R-Bils knows how to deliver.

Marc Jacobs' annual Christmas party is legendary, and last night's Arabian Nights-themed bash was no exception.

It's always a guessing game to see what ridiculousness Marc will wear next: for his past Christmas parties, he has dressed up as everything from a ketchup bottle to a pigeon. This year, he decided to take a stance against a major fashion faux-pas — still staying in Arabian Nights theme, of course — as a camel toe. Later, he shed the bulky fashion no-no for an Aladdin costume to go with boyfriend Jason Preston's Abu get-up. Love it!
