My friend Katie sent me an email suggesting these beauties from J. Crew:
Katie said, "Of course, it is J. Crew, so it's not as bank account-friendly as your Target ones, but it has the mitten cover that keeps your finger tips warm when you're not typing on your iPhone (is that called typing?) or tying your shoes or using your chopsticks." Yes Katie that is called typing. And yes, these J. Crew gloves do appear to be a much more fashionable solution to the problematic combination of cold weather and iphones/shoelaces/chopsticks.The next suggestion is from a different "friend". She found these gloves on her own while shopping at Forever 21. Now I - I mean, my "friend"- admits to having a moral dilemma every time she enters Forever 21 since, sadly, she is not and will not be forever 21. But with the end of her 20's decade fast approaching she's trying to shop there as much as possible because she's pretty sure that should she try to enter Forever 21 after the age of 29 alarms will sound and giant jail cell type bars will descend from the ceiling to trap her as security guards shout "30-year old alert!". I know...my friend needs help. Anyway, here are the gloves "she" saw:

As you can see, these gloves have small slits on the thumb and index finger so you can discreetly slip your fingers out of the gloves for typing on your iphone, tying your shoelaces, or eating sushi with chopsticks. These are also the most economical out of the group at $2.80 a pair. However I will not vouch for their quality and it's quite possible they will become nothing but a pile of thread after one wear. At least that's what my "friend" has sometimes experienced with Forever 21 products.
