This post may seem predicated on what I just wrote about hands, but they really aren’t meant to be connected. (This one was in the works long before I read the story on beautiful hands; I was just waiting for the weather to turn.)But the weather is still maddeningly warm and I still want to write about gloves.
There’s something romantic about wearing gloves that extend to one’s elbow. I love the idea of a bracelet-length sleeve on a coat, with a couple of stunning cuffs.
This fall I’m seeing opera-length leather gloves in all sorts of lovely colors. My caveat (and this applies to opaque tights too) is: choose your color wisely, lest you end up resembling a Muppet.
But if you wear these beauties just right, say, with a blue-jeans edge, you’ll pull off a delightful combination of funky elegance. (I’ve ordered a pair from Prada; will report back when they arrive.)

Unfortunately since moving to Sydney I've had no need for gloves, so they sit unloved and unworn in my glove drawer. Heartbreaking.
In Chicago I got to wear gloves for months. Now I am in L.A. and the dyas when gloves are required are few and far between. I just bought the black gloves from Jcrew that are in your photo. I am planning on wearing them with a short sleeved jacket and with bracelets over them. I hope I like them as much as I imagine I will.
such wonderfully romantic photos...i love the idea of scarves too, but i fear i'd just come across as costumey if i ever tried it.
This sounds just perfect. I can't wait to hear how the Pradas work out. I've always loved long gloves. My mother used to wear O-Ls with sleeveless dresses.
Yay. I love gloves. I wear them when I drive.
a: don't want to get tanned while driving.. blazing sun in Perth should be avoided.
b: leather gloves on a leather steering is the best when driving. don't know why.
prada gloves? Yum. I saw a pair of really long grey ones yesterday. should have bought them. oh well one of those things. I'm sure I could get them some time later. Summer is coming after all.
I adore gloves too! They are so romantic. I loved your blog!
