Sock-it-to-um...

My awesome bff brought me back some beautiful knee socks from Paris. I've wanted a pair of anklet socks since I saw them on the Dolce and Gabbana runway two seasons ago. But, by mistake she bought the knee version. Well, I don't think it was a mistake at all, I have always toyed with the idea of wearing a pair with knee high boots, so the socks stick out a bit. But, these socks are way to pretty to just peek. Low and behold, I was skimming through some fashion magazine blogs and found out that this is a new and very cool trend. So, I'm sharing this discovery with you all, with some rules...

1. Don't wear them with sneakers.

2. If your calf looks as though its circulation is being cut off, please don't proceed with wearing them.

3. If you are over 30, don't wear the argyle version with a pleated skirt, you will look as though you are role playing with your significant other.

I'm sure I need to make a few more rules to this look, but I will see if the socks even turn up around these parts, it could be a fleeting notion for most.

Boho-Chic

I'm pretty clear on what suits me when it comes to styles of clothing, but with my eclectic and sometimes manic aesthetic, I do have a few styles I wish I could pull off. One being, bohemian chic or hippie chic. I adore the unstructured loose drape style so much that I attempt it on occasion. I usually keep it monochromatic and pile the jewels on. The leaders of this style are Kate Moss, Sienna Miller, The Olsen twins, and Nicole Richie. All who have made it insanely beautiful.

Some say the style derives from the 60's in Berkeley and of course New York's Greenwich Village. Worn best by the flower Children, It was the custom of "flower children" to wear and distribute flowers or floral-themed decorations to symbolize altruistic ideals of universal belonging, peace and love.

The newbies of today, probably don't realize that the braids, Ombre hair color, and Maxie dresses all come from this movement and era. Like I always say, ( It's even in the bible), "There is nothing new under the sun."
