Half gloves are a funny little accessory because they are purely fashion and no function.  I think of half gloves as the functionless other half of the very useful fingerless gloves!  The tiny gloves stop right at the bottom of the fingers, which leaves the palm and back of the hand completely open. They come in 4-finger or 5-finger styles so if you want extremely short gloves, you can choose the 4-finger style which doesn’t include the thumb.

Kirna Zabete Short Studded Glove $270

This Kirna Zabete design is the favorite style that I have found.  Metal studs look great as embellishments on all types of accessories this Winter, so the look fits perfectly with the style.

Patricia Field 5-Finger Half Glove $48

Patricia Field is a friend of Sarah Jessica Parker and is the head costume designer for Sex and the City.  Field designs specific pieces for Carrie to wear, so I am assuming that these are the exact style that she wore in the movie.

Patricia Field Patent 4-Finger Half Gloves $28

While I appreciate impracticality in fashion, I do think that the 4-finger gloves are pushing it a little too far.  I don’t think they are as interesting as the 5-finger…

I think this the half glove is a great looking style that furthers the idea of the short motorcycle gloves that have been fashionable this season.  If you want to try this look, I would definitely wear them with a feminine and sophisticated dress or separates to avoid looking too costumey.  Leather gloves always look dressy so, similar to Jenny Humphrey’s idea, I think they would look great as evening wear.  It does seem like a fashion risk, but it would definitely look great with the right styling.

Would You Wear Half-Gloves?

I’ve been hearing a lot about Jee Vice sunglasses being worn by the actresses on set.  Kim Cattrall’s fabulously sexy character Samantha Jones was spotted wearing these Jee Vice Red Hot sunglasses in Deep Purple.

Purple is the absolute “it” color for the next couple seasons, so these oversized square jewel-toned sunglasses will be great for winter and summer.  If you like the wide temple style but not the purple, you can see all of the other fun colors including white, red, and orange online at Jee Vice.

Samantha Jones in Jee Vice Sunglasses

SJP was recently photographed on set wearing a fantastic pair of Christian Louboutins, covered with gold glitter.  Now if those shoes don’t make an impression, I don’t know what would…

If you’d love to rock your own glittery shoes, but don’t quite have the budget for Loubies, never fear – there are some cute options out there.

The “Classic” from The Highest Heel is a fun choice for the pointy-toe pump, it’s available in both green and purple and retails for only $58.99.

A little too much glitter for you?  I’ve got another option:

The “On The House” pump from Seychelles features a suede body and glitter just on the chunky heel.  It comes in both charcoal or black suede and rings in at $75.00 on sale.

You’re a flats-wearing kind of girl?  No problem!

The “Emily” skimmer from Juicy Couture is an easy to wear flat, but with the glamor factor of the glitter and pearl-trimmed buckles.  It comes in four different colors and is on sale right now for $140.00.

Sex and the City bracelet contest

I like hats.

Honestly I do…

But this hat is just so over the top outrageous – now, I realize that her character, Carrie Bradshaw is a serious fashionista – but the hat is too much!

What’s the phrase?  “There’s no such thing as bad publicity….”
