Fancy Fingers!

Today we're talking color for your winter accessories. Gloves to be exact. Let's look at some great leather gloves for winter that aren't so drab.

Kate Spade, Short Bow Gloves, $75

You will be pretty in pink in these versatile gloves!

Coach, Leather Cashmere Lined Gloves, $98

Well these are on the spendy side but investing in a great pair of gloves (and cashmere!) is a great idea. Especially a color that goes with both black and brown.

Banana Republic, Ruffle Glove, $59

I love this deep purple. So simple and so chic.

Target, Merona Button tab gloves, $19

These are so motorcycle chic!

How do you keep your fingers warm this winter? Might as well have some fun with it with some great colors!

Break Up

Hey lovebugs! Happy 2012! I hope you had a happy and safe new years weekend. Any resolutions? Mine is to keep up with this blog and keep bringing you interesting and fabulous posts that you enjoy reading everyday.

Today we're talking about breaking up an outfit. Wide belts to be exact. I like wider belts because they add some interest in the torso area. Try it over a cardi or at the waist line of skirt.

 Loft, Paneled leather belt, $34

I love this detail, it would be perfect with an orange or navy cardigan.

Ralph Lauren, Wide Patent Leather Stretch Belt, $38
The patent leather is so easy to accessorize with any look.

Nordstrom, Lodis Astor Deco Buckle, $48
A little retro and a little fabulous. Add this to an LBD.

Asos, Link and Plate Detail Belt, $21
I am loving this! So fresh and colorful for winter.

Are you adding belts over outfits in 2012? How do you break up an outfit?
