Inspired Style: Sienna's Statement-Making Mittens

Hannah Weil — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 15:00:05 PST

Sienna Miller may be bundled up in black, but all she needs to make a statement are those sweet, stripey gloves. Just proof that while Winter warmers - like scarves, gloves, and hats - are small accessories, their style value is major. Choose something printed, brightly hued ($33, originally $73), or sparkly ($8). Sienna inspires, and we've got the Fab-approved picks ready to shop, just click the items above to get the look!

Kate Spade's Mittens Are Grade-School Chic

FabSugar — Sun, 31 Oct 2010 11:00:05 PDT

If you're trying to achieve a youthful vibe while maintaining an air of chic, behold these mittens from Kate Spade's Holiday 2010 collection. Besides being quirky and adorable, they bring me back to the days when all I had to worry about was finishing homework and catching the bus on time. But really, what better way to hail a cab, initiate a high five, or start a snowball fight than with these little gems? I can't wait to wear the Taxi Mittens ($65) on those days when my teeth are chattering - and I've missed the bus.

Freaky or Fabulous? Valentine's Day Smittens

FabSugar — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 02:16:22 PST

Valentine's Day is fast approaching. Do you have a gift for your lovah? Here's something unique - it's not a mitten, it's a Smitten ($16), made by Etsy user lovedriven. Confused? Check out this drawing. It's a glove that love birds can wear while holding hands. You know, so they're not forced to stop holding hands to be warm. It's definitely a novel idea, but is it freaky or fabulous?

No One Likes Wet Boots

FitSugar — Tue, 20 Feb 2007 02:00:00 PST

After a day of playing out in the snow, you're bound to come in soggy from the snow. And no one wants to slip on wet boots or gloves the next day.

The solution? The Winter Gear Dryer from Frontgate.

Use it to dry your boots, hats, mittens, gloves, socks, or helmet. It even includes boot extensions for knee-high boots. Now your gear will be dry and ready for you to use the next day. Not to mention that getting rid of the moisture will keep your boots from smelling.

You can even use it to warm up your gear. How nice would it be to slip on a pair of toasty warm boots and mittens before heading out into the bitter cold?

If you live in a place where it rains or snows in the winter, $94.50 seems like a small price to pay.

In Defense of the Chronically Late Mom

BabyCenter — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 10:01:11 PST

We're excited to share this post from our partners at BabyCenter! Every week, we will be bringing you the best parenting and lifestyle stories from the experts at BabyCenter, including this post from Betsy Shaw about being late for school.

If I were to wear a scarlet letter it would be T.

T for tardy. T for turd ball. T for totally inept mother.

We are late for school with such alarming regularity it’s embarrassing. The last time we were on time, after a mini snowstorm that excited my children enough to urge them into their snowsuits and outside at 6:30 a.m., we got to school five minutes early to find it dark and empty. Delayed opening. I was apparently the only mother who didn’t get the memo.

Calling Charlie Brown…

Being late for school brings up a vicious brew of conflicting emotion in me. On the one hand I just don’t care. Life is short. Far too short to risk traumatizing your children with a bullwhip and terrorizing morning walkers and squirrels, not to mention my own white-knuckled children, speeding our way to school like Toad on a motorcar bender each weekday morning.

On the other hand I am ashamed, deeply embarrassed, to be “that mom.” All the other moms can do it, even the single ones. Why. Can’t. I? What’s wrong with me?

I complained about this once to a woman from South Carolina who I met on my Guatemala trip and she told me her school started at 7:30. She also made it clear her kids were never late.

Never late.

Keep reading for more of Betsy's reasoning for being late.

10 Sweet Winter Accessory Finds Under $50

Hannah Weil — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 12:17:57 PST

It used to take more than a little nagging from mom to get us to wear our mittens. This time around, the selections are a whole lot sweeter - and a little more grown-up. We're adding extra warmth to our look with a faux fur snood, shearling-lined gloves, and a slick '70s-inspired fedora for added oomph. Our hand-picked goodies are a perfect mix of cool and cozy - but the best part may just be that nothing's over $50. Click through to stock up on the ultra-cool accessories you'll be wearing all Winter long.

Seven Pairs of Doorknocker Earrings to Elevate Winter Outfits

Lucky — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 13:46:44 PST

Lucky magazine is one of our favorite sources for great shopping tips. We're thrilled to share this fabulous story on earrings to dress up your Winter looks from our friends at Lucky!

Arm parties and expertly layered necklaces are great-except in winter, when bare limbs and necklines are hidden like, 70 percent, of the time. Cold weather kills my motivation to accessorize (along with my will to do anything other than watch Downton Abbey), since I know most people I bump into will only see my giant parka, boots, scarf and windchapped face anyway.

But maybe I'll invest in a pair of doorknocker earrings to distract from my bulky ensemble and red cheeks. They're the laziest way to look a little bit more glamorous in even the most industrious winter outfit. Or, with a cocktail dress and studded anything, they conjur Madonna's devastatingly cool '80s look-without the Aquanet or shoulder pads.

On top of that brassy, antique finish, the name's kinda awesome.
