Sophisticated Socks from DeadSoxy and Street Style | #StaySoxy

Socks are considered the most under-stated fashion accessory. They’re normally tucked away in a hidden department next to the hosiery!

In the last few years, socks have made a huge comeback! They can be found in an array of designs and styles. For example, invisible socks can be worn with dress shoes and crew socks are for sporting activities.

DeadSoxy is an innovative shoe company that specializes in superior high quality socks.  Here’s why their socks are so amazing:

  • The Feel: Uber-soft, high-end yarn enables a cool and dry environment for your feet and means no shrinking
  • The Look: Superior dyes keep socks from fading and the distinct patterns give your outfit an extra dose of style
  • The Design: Engineered in a U.S. knitting mill to create a unique technical design that no other sock on the market has
  • The Magic: These technical specifications keep our socks, whether crew or no-show, from slipping or falling; so you get a comfortable wear & put-together look ALL day
  • The Deal: They are THE ONLY company ever to offer a money back guarantee if they slip off your foot.

Product Review:

DeadSoxy shipped a pair of invisible and crew socks. Upon opening the package I was skeptical but the quality of the socks speaks for themselves. Each pair had a unique design and fit nicely on my feet.

Street Style Trend: Socks and Heels

I like to wear high heels for various events but often leave with sore feet. By wearing a pair of crew (or invisible) socks this eliminated that issue. The Steele Woman sock is stated to match your fun personality and I actually like that mindset!

DeadSoxy has both men, women, and youth socks along with sophisticated accessories such as colored shoestrings.

Also, quick side note: if you’re searching for a bulk order of groomsmen socks, the company provides personalized packaging.

Don’t forget to use the hashtag #StaySoxy

Everyday Style and Goal Setting: #OOTD OR #WIW

Recently, I have shared several Instagram photos wearing a blanket scarf and coordinating accessories.  Primarily because it’s very cold and blanket scarfs are a quick option to add a touch of chic to any outfit.

They’re inexpensive and layer over sweaters, button-down shirts, and cute dresses.  I’ve also struggled with keeping my head warm and will quickly grab a leather hat.

Aside from the brisk weather we are embarking upon the New Year.  This is the perfect time to re-evaluate goals, aspirations, and relationships whether it’s family or friends.

I have started to map out the direction of my personal and professional objectives. A few of my goals are volunteering and implementing new elements to my business.

I like to take goal setting a step forward by purchasing organizational tools that will keep me on track.  What are your goals for the upcoming year?  How do you re-evaluate and make changes?

Beyonce’ Street Style and #GlitterBoots: Get The Look

There’s so much conversation swirling around the infamous YSL Glitter Boots.  They’re the ultimate statement in terms of allure and glitz during this time of the year!

Beyonce’ shared photos wearing a hot, date night look on her social media account.  The celebrity was seen in a pair of thigh high glitter boots, denim hot pants, and graphic t-shirt.

For the everyday girl, spending over a thousand dollars for a pair of boots can be out of reach.  Luckily, retailers have re-created this accessory for an affordable price.

Olivia Culpo Spotted Wearing Nude Icon Bag from HVRMNNSN

It Girl, actress and model Olivia Culpo was spotted wearing the new It Bag “Nude Icon” from Scandinavian brand HVRMNNSN in New York yesterday.

Clean lines, Nordic simplicity and hand sewn quality makes it a modern expression of Scandinavian design. It’s also a sustainable fashion statement: The HVRMNNSN tote bag is sewn on a family-run tannery in Sweden using organic quality leather from the local area. The tannery, Tärnsjö Garveri, is a sought after premium supplier with 140 years of experience and has worked for both Louis Vuitton and Hermès.

The HVRMNNSN leather is controlled and certified as 100 % organic. The HVRMNNSN leather is also tested and certified to be free from harmful substances. The focus on the environment is weighted by the fact that all the selected leathers are bi-products of the local meat industry.

  • HVRMNNSN tote bag is sold exclusively on www.hvrmnnsn.com. It costs 1,590 EURO/1,895 USD  + VAT/taxes at the local rate. Shipping is included.

The Foundation Of A Fashionista!

Ever since I can remember, I was a lover of all things beautiful and always had a sense of style. I was the one who stood out in front of the crowd, whether at church or a birthday party or any event. Although very young, I always loved various vintage styles, sequins, and feathers. I loved black and white Hollywood classics of flashy fashions and striking styles.

Style Tribes | The Fashion of Subcultures

Before it hits the runways, and long before it makes it to your local retail racks, fashion grows in unusual places – in social subcultures, among artists, musicians, and other creative and marginalized communities around the world – communities dominated by youth who rely on resourcefulness, passion, joy and political and social outrage to express their identity.

 

Style Tribes: The Fashion of Subcultures explores the looks and ideologies of these movements over the past century, from the Harlem renaissance to riot grrrls and Harajuku – all gorgeously illustrated with archival and contemporary images.

Book Review:
Style Tribes (The Fashion of Subcultures) has an amazing book cover!  It’s the perfect combination between art, fashion, and cultural awareness.

 

We often see the hashtag #streetstyle but do we really understand the history or meaning of the term?  This book explains the beginning of fashion (as a movement) while going beyond the showcase of beautiful design pieces.  It captures the authentic style of “real people” with a historical flair; starting with the Flapper era and ending with Kogal.

 

Historic Costume was one of my favorite fashion courses and this book is now part of my couture library.  The content and photos are inspirational; perfect for any aspiring fashion influencer or professional.  To order click here:  Style Tribes – The Fashion of Subcultures
