I like elbow length gloves for two reasons: they keep me warm on drafty days and they have a chic, vintage feel to them. If you’re looking to buy a pair, and want to save some money, try discount stores like TJ Maxx and vintage stores, as long as the lining is in good shape a vintage pair may be your best bet. They also make great gifts for the fashionista who has everything.

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.
Inside the reader mail bag there are questions about summer beauty, hiring a personal shopper, navigating a sudden breakouts, and more. Let’s dig in!
And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.

Since Sloane was born, I’ve fallen hard into a black, white, and blue wardrobe. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but as spring blooms, I need a little color in my wardrobe (and probably a little print too). Here are a few tops that caught my eye for work.
Belle – have you seen any smart touch gloves that aren't hideous? I would love to find a pair for a friend but all I ahve seen so far are not so pretty.
Thanks –
Ann – after searching through lots of pretty ugly smart touch gloves, I just bought these for my boyfriend for Christmas: https://www.wilsonsleather.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12772729&cp=2446815.1831968&parentPage=family
They have a women's version, too: https://www.wilsonsleather.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12818037&cp=2446812.1831951&parentPage=family
Also, not smart touch, but I bought these for my mom last year and she loved them, plus they're a great price today: https://www.wilsonsleather.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12988510&cp=2446812.1831951&parentPage=family
For Ann:
Re: smart-touch gloves. A few years ago, I found a nice-looking pair at LouLou. However, they may not sell them anymore. Last winter I went looking again for them there and didn't see the exact pair that I got. Maybe they will bring them back.
Thanks for the links, EmZ, and the Lou Lou info Anonymous – very helpful!
Belle,
i have been meaning to ask this:
do you still do Friday discussions? If you have stopped, I will be the lone voice in the room and say that I miss them!
