It's been close to three years since I moved to California from Michigan. And the cold season here feels like summer compared to the Great Lakes' bitter-cold winters. Hats, scarves and gloves function more as protective gears from the harsh elements rather than part of your fall/winter look.

And since here in L.A., it's more likely to have an earthquake than snowfall or below zero temperatures and the most likely or perhaps the only place you'll get frostbite is your freezer, cold weather accessories tend to be more trendy and chic.

I particularly love fingerless gloves! Wearing a pair gives that edgy feel even if they were cashmere. They also elevate any look or style. Like, the 80's look is hot this fall, a pair of Marc Jacobs 'Quincy' gloves definitely brings back nostalgic nights at the disco.
