Ugg Gloves Prove Toasty

Everyone turns to Ugg's shearling boots to keep their toes toasty all winter, but did you know Ugg makes gloves, too?

Some gloves sell for the same price as their boots. But, according to reviews, the high price isn't stopping many customers. With a wide variety of options such as leather and fingerless gloves, you're likely to find something you love.

Is there anything worse than having freezing hands and toes in the winter? Thanks to Ugg, problem solved.

Black On Black

There's something to be said for an all-black ensemble. Doesn't it always look put together, classy, and chic?

With winter approaching, we tend to reach for dark neutrals, even though "experts" tell us to mix in a pop of color. But what do they know?

Here's how to do it right:

1. An all black ensemble calls for sexy footwear, but... 
2. If sexy footwear isn't gonna cut it at the workplace, opt for flats or wedges.
3. Dying to throw in a pop of color? Add some color with shoes, jewelry, or a fun scarf. 
4. A faded black against a true black looks a bit sloppy. Check the colors in natural light to see if you match up. 
5. Look polished with a sleek ponytail or an elegant up-do.
6. Keep your makeup clean and simple, but...
7. Now is the time for bright red lipstick!

Summer Pieces to Wear This Winter


For most of us, the change of seasons is the perfect excuse for clothes shopping. It's too cold for summer's tank tops, and last year's jumper is pilled and paltry. Sadly, for a lot of us, buying a new wardrobe every time the temperature changes is simply unrealistic. But that doesn't mean we have to resort to hiding underneath a gargantuan parka all winter. Instead, we can reinvent our wardrobe by taking pieces from past seasons and styling them into fresh, new looks.

Maxi Dress — Long, airy, and often sleeveless, this dress is the veritable go-to on hot, summer days (and nights). Easily dressed up or down, it is a truly effortless piece. To transition your favorite maxi into winter, layer it over a pair of tights and a cropped, pull-over sweater to show off the body of the dress.

Cut-Offs — We all own a pair. Whether we like them super short or loose and casual, cut-off shorts are classic summer apparel. And, with the right accessories, you can show them off during the winter months, too. To balance out the skimpiness of the shorts, try wearing them with an oversized sweater or a boyfriend cardigan. Sleek black tights and structured black boots complete the winter grunge look.

Open-Toed Wedges — Open-toed shoes are not something that we normally think of wearing when it's freezing out. (Frostbitten toes don't exactly scream chic.) But summer wedges don't have to walk to the back of the closet just yet. When worn with thick tights or a pair of colorful socks, a sexy peep-toed effect is created that livens up any outfit.*

*NOT recommended in the snow!
