Gloves and Mittens that Make Me Want to Go Frolicking in the Snow!

Winter break has finally arrived! It’s about time, I must say. Last week I was preoccupied with dreadful final exams (through Friday), but now I’m free for three blissful weeks to do as I please. Yay! One of the first things that I’ve done with my time off is open a Pinterest account. After spending hours (eh, maybe days!?) on Pinterest, I can confirm that it’s super addictive. If you haven’t used Pinterest yet, it’s basically a website that allows you to create inspiration boards. So far I have made three boards, “’Tis the Season for Sequins,” “DIY Christmas Cards” and “Style Crush: Olivia Palermo.” You can upload your own photos, find ones online, or peruse Pinterest (which contains gazillions of images!). See, lots of fun!

On another note, today is the first official day of winter! Although it doesn’t feel like winter (at least not where I live), I do think that it’s essential to have a few winter wardrobe staples. In addition to a heavy winter coat and boots (these are no-brainers), gloves and mittens are also super important. I only own one pair of gloves and normally neglect to wear them.

While perusing some of my favorite stores online (something I do oh-so often!), cutesy gloves and mittens have been catching my eye a lot lately. Though I’ve been yearning for a nice pair of leather gloves a la Coach, this season I’m slightly obsessed with colorful knit ones. Call me childish, but they are über fun to wear and I honestly just can't get enough of them. When Old Man Winter does decide to arrive, I'll also have something to keep my hands nice and cozy!

Here are some of the gloves and mittens that I just may be buying after Christmas!

Juicy Couture

Short Tassle Gloves - $35 (was $48)
Eek! My very, very favorite and number one pick of the season is this pair of short tassle gloves by Juicy Couture. I love the fun and vibrant color palette, the cute design (stripes and Fair Isle – yes!) and, of course, the pink pom-pom tassels! What is there not to love?

Fair Isle Long Gloves with Slits - $35 (was $58)
Another winner by Juicy! I love the extra-long length of these gloves and the colorful Fair Isle pattern. The pair of gloves that I currently own is cut so short that my wrists are often left exposed to the frigid air. This is not fun when I’m walking from one end of the campus to the other…

Handwarmer & Nailpolish Set - $50 (was $68)
Okay, so technically these are “handwarmers,” not gloves or mittens. But they are super cute and come with nail polish (I hear Deborah Lippman makes the best lacquer!). And, it doesn’t hurt that they just so happen to be bedecked with faux diamonds. Sold!

Kate Spade

Silver Ring Cocktail Gloves - $45 (was $75)
I have a huge obsession with cocktail rings and wear them on a daily basis. Unfortunately, most of my rings are too big to wear underneath gloves. Since going ring-less is simply not an option, more often than not, I choose to leave my gloves behind. Am I supposed to take off my ring, hide it in my purse for safe keeping and then put it back on once I’ve gotten inside and removed the gloves? That’s quite a process to undertake 2+ times every day. On the coldest of cold days (I’m talking 20 degrees and below), maybe this pair of gloves will suffice…

Prize Ball Pop Top Mittens - $45 (was $75)
If you haven’t noticed, I’m kind of a fan of color.

Taxi Mittens - $39 (was $65)
Although I’m from a small town, I’m a total city-girl at heart. This pair of bright yellow mittens stamped with ‘taxi’ makes me feel all warm and giddy inside!

Jack Wills

Maythorn Mittens - $29
I have a confession: I’ve never owned or tried on a pair of mittens before. That being said, I’m shocked that I actually like these mittens from Jack Wills.

Madewell

Flurries Fair Isle Mitten - $20 (was $38)
Yet another pair of mittens! The pink-and-blue color palette just seems wintery, doesn’t it?

Modcloth

None of the A-glove - $55

Not an everyday glove, but I do think they would look fab with a white pea coat.

Bell Choir Gloves - $35

Ruffles! Chic, sophisticated and subdued, this pair of gloves is for the practical fashionista. Whether you’re wearing a black, white, or gray wool coat, rest assured that these gloves will match your attire.

If you’re lucky enough to have a white Christmas, grab your cheekiest gloves and enjoy some winter wonderland fun!
