Nina Ricci rolled out a wonderful line in Paris with the Spring/Summer 2008 collection. The colors were a little dark for spring, but I still loved the collection overall. The golds and reds are beautiful, although they may be more suited for fall. The gowns sort of made me think of a cross between Goth and Gypsy. The cuts and designs, however, are beautiful and I love the arm warmers. Overall, I think itâ€™s a great collection, very casual/dressy at the same time. There were lots of layered looks, and those headpieces are fabulous.

To some, the idea of fingerless gloves/arm warmers might seem ridiculous. As in, what’s the point? Well, for starters, they’re super cute. They also make it very easy to operate a mobile phone, coffee cup, purse, or steering wheel. I may be stretching it a bit here, but seriously, they’re really cute. I’m thinking, for those of us who live in colder climates, fingerless gloves under stringed mittens (yes, stringed mittens) is the way to go.

And, just one more thing…instead of calling fingerless gloves arm warmers, why not just call them fingerless mittens? I guess it doesn’t matter. Also, you don’t have to buy a $60 pair, you can just cut the tips off a pair of thrift store mittens.
