Gloves To Love For Fall/Winter 2011

Living in Chicago, I have to make the best of the weather and find the best looking outerwear I can find. I’ve already shared with you my favorite Fall/Winter coats for 2011 and I wanted to dedicate a post to an accessory that can be forgotten about but definitely deserves some attention…gloves! See my favorite gloves (that I hope you’ll love too!) and where you can get them.

Valentino Leather and Calf Hair Gloves

Cashmere-lined, leopard print, leather and studded…could it get any better? These are just a fun way to accessorize an outfit without having to pile on bangles and rings.

Rag & Bone Dean Gloves

These are the perfect balance of practicality and style. Not your average looking Winter gloves but not too over-the-top.

Current Obsession: Dolce & Gabbana Star Print iPhone Case

If you keep up with me on Twitter you’ve probably figured out by know my obsession with the Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2011 collection. Dolce & Gabbana has never really been a go-to brand for me but they knocked it out of the park for this season. I already own the star-print dress (seen here) but there are so many other star printed items I’m dying to have from the collection. If I have the chance to purchase anything else from Dolce & Gabbana Fall ’11, it would be this…
