I can't think of a better time than now to present you with De*Nada, an emerging accessories line that gives a whole new meaning to the term cozy chic. It specializes in knits, more specifically beanies, gloves, and amazing roped scarves ($58). Peruvian designer Virginia Blanca Arrisueño started De*Nada — translating to you're welcome in Spanish — in 2005, and yearned to mix modern styles with ethnic touches. The latest Autumn/Winter '09 collection makes me want to smother my body in its delicately cool knits and frolic in bed all day.

The price seems a little steep, but at $34, these Etre Touchy Gloves do solve a basic problem: using your iPhone, iPod, computer, or other touch-screen device while wearing gloves. Most gadgets won't respond to a woolly glove, only bare skin. In theory, I like these. And on days that the temperature doesn't dip too low, I guess they're practical — but I still think they're a bit silly-looking.

For the record, I'm still torn on these fingerless gloves, though most of you find them totally geek chic.

If you require gloves but hate not being able to type on your iPhone while wearing them, fingerless gloves are a happy medium. These Crochet Knit Purple Fingerless Gloves are super cool, no? I dig the rich color and the way they scrunch.

If you do too, buy them now for $6.99; there are three available and they also come in gray, black, and white. The auction ends Tuesday, Nov. 17. Good luck!

I'm in desperate need of a new pair of cozy gloves (or two!). I don't live in snow, but my hands still manage to freeze every morning. I'm not too picky about style — I'd rather see where your imagination takes you. But I will say, there's nothing more sexy than a buttery leather glove that smothers the hands. Oh, and I don't want anything super sporty or ridiculously expensive.

I'll start you off with this Vogue Russia editorial with Masha Novoselova; use it as inspiration.

After perusing a selection of gorge(ous) gloves, I came to the realization that I need a pair of fingerless gloves. They remind me of Madonna circa 1980, plus I love the tough-chic vibe. I live in a fairly moderate climate, so these Alexander McQueen Fingerless Gloves ($470) would be a perfect Fall staple. But dang, that much for a pair of leather gloves? I don't think so!

Gloves have a certain mystique. Then there's the upped glam factor when you slip into gorge(ous) gloves. Remember how screen sirens of yore seduced with their Hollywood waves and sexy satin gloves? It may be early Fall, but Lily Allen mixes things up in her black ruched gloves; with her dark shades she looks very incognito chic. The best part, depending on where you dwell: gloves are functional. Cold coziers start scoping out leather and cashmere; sun worshippers feast on lace and fingerless.
