So, I got my first pair of fingerless gloves for practical reasons and on sale at Nordstrom for no more than $3 (at an after Christmas sale) last year.

I've got thin blood and it gets cold in the office while I type crime stories and shopping blogs. I need warmth and a glove that allows my fingers to fly on the keyboard.

But, now, the reason is anything but practical. These leather fingerless gloves by Bebe on the left just look chic and edgy with a crystal at the clasp for a softer, feminine flair. They're $39, but they're a cool and fun accessory as we slowly meander into the fall and winter seasons. The ones shown here are in hot pink, but the black pair is oh, so classic.

I'm posting images of a few other ones that could really kick up an outfit a few notches.

The coral elbow length ones I'm donning here (from H&M in NYC) were no more than $6 and warm and fuzzy. They're more cute, less chic.

If you're interested in getting your hands on, and into, a pair of those Bebe gloves, check them out here.

What are your favorite fall accessories?
