Finds...

Here in Canada when I see fingerless gloves or palm warmers as some may call the, I roll my eyes and think, HELLO it is cold here, why the heck do you even bother to sell them.  I NEED my fingers covered!!  I don't want them to fall off!  Clearly.
Then my next thought is I wish they were practical cause they are always so pretty.  Case in point the ones below from {ASOS}.
So while perusing the web like I do, I stumbled upon this picture, and like a mack-truck it hit me; pair them with leather gloves!!! 
Now for those of you who do this already, congrats you are officially way smarter and way cooler than me.  But for the rest of us that thought fingerless gloves was something we would never do, LOOK how stylish they can be when paired with our leather gloves!
Voila!  My lifetime HATE and ANGER towards fingerless gloves is solved!  Next problem, trying not to purchase every pair of fingerless gloves I will come in contact with going forward.


The internet can be a beautiful thing when you can solve a lifetime Canadian problem in one picture.  lol  Now that might be overkill, but seriously it opened up a whole new world for me..lol

Happy pairing ladies!

Styling...

{ModCloth} came to me a week back and asked me to style their {CoachTourDress} any which way I wanted, how perfect!  Bonus, it is a competition!  If you haven't heard of the online retailer, RUN to their site now!  They have amazing pieces and in sizes 2-32!  Ladies you cannot go wrong!

Since it is the Holiday season and all of our social calenders are booked up, I thought this would be the perfect way to take what is a seemingly casual black dress and then style it two ways.  Since we all have a simple yet casual black dress we do not need to buy a fancy one just for an occasion.

The first look is easy.. pair some bold burgundy heels and a matching bag.  The earrings jazz it up.  It is sexy sophisticated without being over the top.

Second look is all about pizzazz!  This would be for the holiday party that is most definitely fancier.  Adding some great booties and a clutch that is to die for is a perfect statement.

Pair both looks with tights since that always gives a good base to a dress this time of year.  All the times below are from the {ModCloth} site too, so it is one stop shopping for any type of event.

Hope you like my styling head over to {Polyvore} if you do and hit LIKE.... I do want to win ;)
