Be a Star in Striped Socks

Posted Jul 4th 2009 at 11:00AM by Maureen Dempsey

Socks that make you jump for joy. Photo courtesy of HappySocks.com

It's official: We are obsessed with Happy Socks! It may be July, but when the AC is pumping, a pair of socks is essential to make it through a subzero night.

Swedish guys Mikael Söderlindh and Viktor Tell are the brains behind the funky new line.

They discovered a family-owned mill in Turkey that had been open for more than 30 years, making socks for the military -- and the rest is history.

Each pair is made of a cotton blend on Italian looms and every toe is hand stitched for the perfect fit.

Söderlindh and Tell have about 100 different designs in the line -- solids, polka dots, argyle. You name it, they've got it.

Bonus: They're unisex -- a great way to get the boyfriend or husband out of his boring sock routine. No more white tube- or black business socks!

Happy Socks are available at Opening Ceremony and revolveclothing.com for a cool $10 a pair. (That should make your feet and your wallet very happy.)

The Exciting World of Crochet Collides with Gaming - Wii Kniittiing

Posted Jan 24th 2009 at 4:00PM by Josh Loposer

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Must Haves

a screen shot for upcoming wii KniittiingOK, knitting fanatics, here is your Olympic sport. It's a video game being produced for your Wii console that actually makes knitting look like an fun hobby for people with a normal entertainment quotient. That's right, we're saying that knitting is boring. Or, actually, we're saying it's not boring anymore. Whatever. If you've been looking for a chance to knit competitively and yet not produce any socks or scarves -- this game is for you.

You may want to hold back some of your outpouring of enthusiasm, since there doesn't appear to be any concrete release date for this game. We can imagine that developing a game that's predicated on the art of knitting is time consuming -- and certainly hard to market to potential distributors.For those who were hoping that this game would teach you to actually knit articles of clothing, we're thinking: fat chance. It probably prepares you to knit a garment as well as Guitar Hero trains you to play Ace of Spades. Still, it's pretty neato.

Posh's pampering bed-time routine

Posted Sep 29th 2008 at 5:08PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Skin Care, Celebrities with Style


(Does the beauty routine work? Click the photo to see for yourself)

We just told you about Brad Pitt's hour-long night-time beauty routine, and it sounds like he and Victoria Beckham might have something in common. Like Brad, Posh has some interesting bedtime beauty habits.

She says, "I put really thick foot lotion on with socks before I go to sleep. I also use thick hand cream with gloves at the same time." Hot hubby David isn't exactly on board with this routine, however, as Victoria says, "David thinks I'm loony because I get into bed with gloves and socks on."

Pooghe Laundry - sexy underwear with a silver secret

Posted Sep 15th 2008 at 10:02AM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Clothing, Swimwear and Lingerie, Men



Here's an idea: luxurious base-layer clothing (translation: underwear) that is super comfortable and uses nanotechnology to prevent odor.

Don't go running to the patent office. Pooghe Laundry already did it, and they somehow even made it sexy, too!

Pooghe uses a high tech method called "SmartSilver" that puts silver ions actually in the fabric. When the ions are released, they kill the bacteria from perspiration and voila, no odor.

The line includes men's and women's underwear, long and short sleeve tees, camisoles, socks, tank tops, leggings and compression cold weather apparel, all made from soft Supima cotton. The founder, Steve Monte, manufactures everything in the US, ensuring that all production is sweatshop-free and Fair Trade.

All good things. But really, we all want to see what it looks like on. In the gallery, scantily clad models who we can be sure smell as good as they look.

The most unnecessary socks ever, brought to you by Betsey Johnson

Posted Sep 9th 2008 at 4:18PM by Annie Wu

Filed under: Accessories

Betsey Johnson socksSometimes pointless accessories are attractive enough to justify their uselessness, but these ballet style lacy lace-up socks from Betsey Johnson border on baffling. First of all, they look like they would fall apart at first touch. Secondly, what kind of shoes would work with this? Even the model legs in the sample photos can't make the socks look good, leaving the lacy edges sloppily spilled over the edges of the pump.

We can kind of dig what look they were trying to achieve, though, but we've seen it done better with a couple of cheap ribbons strategically wrapped up and around a pump-clad foot. It's a simple and cheap way to get the same ballet-inspired look without looking too ridiculous. Plus, it's another way to get a look from an otherwise average-looking heel.

Socks+sandals: Alexander McQueen pairs the unthinkable

Posted Jul 29th 2008 at 4:30PM by Josh Loposer

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Shoes


(Click on the photo for more shocking and ridiculous runway fashion)

Our world is officially rocked. If men are pulling off pantyhose (or mantyhose) these days, then it's hard to really fault someone for pairing sock with sandals (if you can call them sandals) -- especially when it actually looks good. Not wear it out in public good, mind you, but good in that 'wow that doesn't even really look offensive' kind of way. Actually, we think they look like some sort of couture bowling shoes.

Why aren't you wearing this? Over the Knee Argyle Socks

Posted Jul 2nd 2008 at 2:34PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Accessories, Celebrities with Style


Although we're loving summer at the moment, our fashion-forward minds are already getting excited about cool weather and hot fall trends. After all, who doesn't love shopping now for items you can't wear for three more months?

It goes without saying that some of the styles we saw in the Sex and the City movie should come with a "Don't try this at home" warning, and when we first saw these over the knee argyle socks (available for $14 at PatriciaField.com) on Carrie, we thought they were a prime example. But something made us take another look. And another. And, all of a sudden, we kind of love them.

So let's put an end to your suffering and take a look at some helpful hints to getting Rockette worthy gams.

Tender toes tout Pure Care diabetic relief socks

Posted May 9th 2008 at 8:19AM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Clothing


If you have tender toes, then you know that working out can mean more than just aching muscles. The wrong socks can rub your feet raw with rough material or sharp seams.

Many, many times we've been really cooking on the elliptical machine, thinking, "We're finally going to fit into that sample size dress!" only to cut the workout short because of painful blisters from our socks.

Summer time is all about trying to balance looking stylish while not dying of heat exhaustion -- sometimes that's pretty hard to do. While we love our flip-flops, but some situations call for a more substantial footwear choice. That doesn't mean your feet have to sweat it out.

Connect with the world, literally, by wearing velcro

Posted Feb 20th 2008 at 2:21PM by Kyle Hepp

Filed under: Style in the News, Vintage and Retro

Forget the baby bjorn, or the sling. Who needs carriers, strollers, or baby backpacks? With the new invention of velcro clothing, now you can just stick your baby to you and go. Look, ma, no hands!

The designers of all velcro outfits have one thing in mind -- human connection. They are imagining cities full of people walking around wearing velcro, bumping into each other, getting stuck together and starting up a conversation. The brand is called Takkiainen, which is developed by a company called Com-pa-ny, "Takkiainen is a jacket for lonely or bored people. It is designed to help the wearer to get in contact with others. Since we brush against each other every day as we move around in the city, we can use our clothes as a medium for meeting people and communicating with them."

Com-pa-ny, based out of Finland, coincidentally makes many other amazing products such as silicon socks (for outdoor use, no shoes), the safety skirt (giving you absolutely no chance of flashing an accidental up-skirt), jeans with built in gloves, jeans with a tail, " to sit on, to lean on, to balance, to wrap around you," a skirt with four purses attached, a rocking bear, a blanket you could hibernate in, literally, a beard made out of wool, in case you're looking to get a cleaner Adrien Grenier look, a hood and backpack all combined into one, and my favorite of them all, shoes with the kiddy shoes attached right on top for easy father/daughter dancing. The products are insane, exciting and innovative. You have to browse through the gallery to see what I'm talking about, everything that Com-pa-ny makes is out of this world! Check out the products and then tell me what crazy invention is your favorite!
