Colorful Leather Gloves for $48 at Gilt.com




One of today's featured sales on Gilt.com is winter accessories by Portolano, which includes a wide variety of colorful genuine leather gloves in red, purple, green, orange as well as neutral black and gray. If you've been searching for some statement gloves this season, this might be the sale to hit! Many styles are sadly sold out but there are plenty left to choose from, like the ones shown above which are now just $48. Very reasonable for real leather gloves (comparable to what you'd pay at Urban Outfitters or a department store). Scoop them up while you still can.

Win Cool Stuff: In Bloom by Reese Witherspoon

And the winner is… #61 Tahrer Khalil, who wrote "Everytime I smell Chanel's COCO MADEMOISELLE it reminds me of when I was little. That is the one perfume my mom would always wear. Everytime we went out she would put some on. Now everytime I smell it it reminds me of those days. My mom lives in Arizona and I live in Chicago, so when I want to feel her presence I take a sniff of this elegant scent."

Congrats to our winner and thanks to everyone who entered. I loved reading these!



Win Cool Stuff: In Bloom by Reese Witherspoon

Please note: This contest is now closed to further entries.

Enter for your chance to win a beautiful bottle of In Bloom, the first fragrance developed in partnership with Reese Witherspoon exclusively for Avon! In Bloom is a Floral Oriental Woody fragrance that sparkles with a provocative blend of feminine floral notes including Georgia Peach Tea Leaves, Magical Magnolias and Cashmere Woods.

"In developing In Bloom, I found myself drawn to the scents of my childhood in Tennessee," explains Reese Witherspoon. "We had a great big Magnolia tree in the back yard, and it's that beautiful white blossom that inspired the perfume. In Bloom is indicative of where I am in my life today. I'm feeling very strong and independent, and so happy, so full of life. The fragrance truly captures that feeling—it's very sensual, very romantic and alluring."
