fingerless gloves giveaway

I love fingerless gloves!

I discovered my attraction to them a few years ago. Something about them is just a little bit sexy and a little bit cozy. I had an exact idea in my head about what I wanted, but I couldn't find them available to buy anywhere. So I actually knit myself a pair of long cabled fingerless gloves that went past my elbows. I wore them everywhere and got lots of comments on them. I am so excited to see that the trend has caught on and now they are available to buy everywhere!
I am currently hosting a giveaway on Splendicity with Curations on HSN.com for a reader to win a fabulous winter set that includes a matching pair of fingerless gloves, a scarf, and an adorable headband. I love all three pieces and want them for myself! You can enter the giveaway by leaving a comment on my article on Splendicity. Here is the link:

snood is not just a video game

{Missoni Rib-Knit Wool-Blend Snood}

Last winter it was the cloche...this winter it is the snood. Sometimes I just get obsessed with fashion pieces that have interesting names, historic significance, and an instantly stylish appearance. As the recession continues, accessories layered with clothing basics are going to be hugely in style this winter...

The snood is a gorgeous neck warmer slash hood. It is thick and tubular (like the gators that I used to wear skiing in the 80's) but is long enough to be draped over the head like a hood or scrunched around the neck like a scarf. Burberry, Stella McCartney, and Missoni have produced some wool and cashmere snoods and I expect many designers at high and low price points to follow soon...

Did I also mention that I was addicted to playing Snood on the computer in high school? I love that little "bloop" sound when you shoot an alien head out of a cannon.
