    Cozy Up In Tweed Clothing And Accessories That Aren't So ...

    There's something about tweed that undeniably conjures up images of wintertime coziness... not to mention old-fashioned office attire and your grandma's go-to outfit for Sunday brunch. The good news is, however, that tweed has been updated to suit the styles of modern trends -- from platform pumps to boyfriend blazers -- and has expanded beyond its traditional use in plain ol' pea coats and conservative skirt suits. The great thing about the fabric is its ability to makes items still look office-appropriate without appearing stuffy, yet it can also be dressed up with metallic details for a night out, or thrown on last minute for an upgrade of your usual "just rolled outta bed" look. For some wintry-warm tweed pieces that are still totally on-trend, check out the slideshow!

    Leather Gloves Of All Lengths To Suit Anyone's Winter Style!

    If you've been procrastinating on gift shopping and instead have been stocking up on your own winter wear (hey -- a girl's gotta keep warm), don't forget to keep your digits protected from the cold too! For the wintry months ahead, leather is migrating from moto jackets to accessories and is starting to replace knits and cashmere in the realm of cozy hand-warmers. Fingerless gloves are all over the place (okay, so maybe they're more for fun than function) but you can put your own spin on the trend with studs or chains. Or, for an updated take on Old Hollywood glamour, opt for a longer pair a la Audrey Hepburn (though hers weren't luxe leather like these!). No matter what your style, you're bound to find your perfect pair among this season's varied selection! Browse through my favorites in the slideshow!

    Cute Convertible Clutches Are Two (Or More!) Purses In One!

    I'm the kind of girl at the club who has her purse glued under her arm all night long. You know, the one bumping into everyone and knocking over everybody's drinks when I turn around -- not because I can't walk in my heels, but because my handbag is jutting out dangerously from my side. I don't know what it is, but while all my friends trade in their oversized satchels for a nice compact clutch with just their night-out necessities, I just can't jump on the bandwagon. I mean, sure, it's space-saving, but then you actually have to hold it all night long. And who wants to sacrifice a perfectly good cocktail-holding hand for the sake of a smaller purse? That's why I'm all about these convertible clutches. Equipped with either a removable chain strap or fold-over minimizing capabilities (or both), these little multitaskers can serve as totes, mini-shoulder bags, or coin purses in addition to clutches and can transform from one to the other in seconds with just a simple snap of a button or unhinging of a clasp! Take a look at the slideshow for a selection of my favorite multifunctional transforming clutches!

    If you're having a hard time justifying all the inevitably expensive holiday gift-shopping this year in light of our current economic state, how about opting for a present that truly gives back? Famed accessories brand Kate Spade has recently formed a partnership with Women for Women International known as the Hand In Hand program, which employs war survivors from Bosnia, giving them a chance to get their future back on track. The result? A collection of hand-knit winter accessories, including these Colorblock Mittens, that keep you warm during the dreary weather ahead while the proceeds help women abroad rebuild their lives. If that's not incentive to spread some Christmas joy this season despite your dismal paycheck, I don't know what is!


    Price: $95
    Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add the Hand In Hand Mittens to the Hive.

    The holiday season is officially upon us in case you haven't noticed the festive decorations lining the streets and storefronts. This means that the happiest and coldest time of year is about to be here. It would be great to just curl up under a warm blanket with a cup of hot cocoa by the fireside and pseudo-hibernate for the entire winter season, but you don't need the stars to tell you that that's out of the question! The stars predict a lot of quality time with friends and family coming up for the week, as well as a few career-related activities that'll keep you out of the house more than in. Don't worry, though, because the stars are giving you a hand in outsmarting the wintry weather! Put on a pair of gloves that instantly add an air of sophistication and enjoy your week of socializing without being hampered by frost-bitten fingers! Click on the slideshow to see which style of gloves the stars have found to keep your hands toasty!

    Add Vintage Appeal To Your Look With A Pocket Watch Necklace!

    One accessory of the past that I wish had never gone out of style is the pocket watch necklace, or pendant watch. There's something so refined and sophisticated about this vintage-inspired timepiece, dangling elegantly from a chain and worn as a necklace, or placed carefully inside a breast pocket. While watches can also be beautiful, a watch necklace is not only eye-catching, but unique and practical as well. Is there anything else you could ask for from a piece of jewelry? With the layered look still at the forefront of jewelry trends today, a pocket watch necklace frees up a wrist from an everyday watch and allows you to pile on a few more bangles and bracelets. Plus, a pocket watch necklace nestled amongst other chains and necklaces adds interest and texture, giving the wearer a look that's both vintage and modern. Take a look at some of my favorites by clicking on the slideshow!
