Christian Dior Ad 1957

It’s time to…. Go Back to Gloves!  Gloves  are one of the best ways NOT  to spread germs. (and let’s just be frank -that fun fact is a MAJOR priority right now.

I often wonder…Why did we ever stop wearing these stylish hand covers in the first place?

Gloves protect one  from spreading germs  not to mention that they’re uber stylish and absolutely compliment a look. It’s the perfect accessory because it fashionable and functional!

For your enjoyment and inspiration I’ve offered a bit of a throwback to gloves today in addition to providing you with some updated selections for the season.

Have a glove-ly day. Stay safe and be well. xoxoT

The Coronavirus, has  made living life a bit Topsy- turvy . (Topsy-turvy meaning- utter confusion & disorder). People are staying in-(I think the news calls it self quarantine), they’re also stockpiling  food and household supplies and  many have retreated from any social engagement whatsoever.

I personally don’t know what to think of it all except  that we  must be more mindful in how we are living our lives.  Don’t touch your face, eat healthy, exercise and  most of all-WIPE DOWN AND DISINFECT EVERYTHING would be the short list of things to embrace immediately!

Tomorrow I must travel via airplane and I’m prepared with enough disinfectant wipes to clean my entire house. That being said, I  am adding a stylish addition to my arsenal of germ fighting -I’m going glove-ly.  Not surgical gloves BUT stylish animal print velvet gloves. Yep-I’m wearing them 24/7 and will only take them off if I am washing my hands.

I have always been a fan of the glove and looking on the bright side -there’s no better time to get gloves back into  your style rotation.(I have often wondered why gloves ever went out of style in the first place)? Gloves  keep your hands germ free  and they’re also a perfect sunscreen not to mention a stylish addition to any outfit.

I hope that today and everyday you enjoy nothing less than perfect health. If you need to amp up your routine when it comes to warding off the flu or circulating virus..consider going Glove-ly!Be well . xoT

They say that  “Good taste never good out of style” They also say  that there  is never really anything  NEW in fashion it’s just recycled, renewed or slightly reinvented. When I spotted numerous designers showing gloves to match their daytime outfits  on the  Fall  2014 runways – I knew it was only a matter of time that  we would be seeing this trend go mainstream.

There’s just something about a woman wearing a pair of beautiful gloves that is soooo lovely!

I guess you could say it Glove-ly.
