Free People has one of the best glove selections I've seen this season (hey, gloves are a very important accessory!) including these military-inspired Doubs fingerless gloves with button deal. Pick them up in black, red, grey or purple for $28. A great affordable gift idea!


While I love fingerless gloves because they keep hands toasty while typing, sometimes you need a little extra coverage. For those occasions, try these Merona Jersey Glove with Buttons available in black or white for $10.99 at Target.com.

In this earlier post, many of you were none too impressed with the Fair Isle sweater look, but you were definitely drooling over Hilary Duff's red-soled boots, namely, her Christian Louboutin Babel boots, $1,465 at Net-a-Porter.com.


Ok. I'm not saying Old Navy even comes close to Louboutin in terms of fabulosity, but these stylish black boots are a reasonable alternative, are they not? They're available in camel or black and cost $50 at OldNavy.com.

And if you're willing to spend a bit more to get this look, here are some more options:

Another perennial winter fashion favorite of mine is the Fair Isle sweater, that Nordic-style knit which conjures up images of Aspen lodges and hot toddies sipped on bearskin rugs before crackling fires. Pair yours with leggings, edgy boots and simple silver jewelry (like Hilary Duff) to balance proportions and keep your look modern.
