Happy socks (guest #4)

Monday, July 26th, 2010

I bumped into my old uni mucker Chris L last week, and whilst having a work chinwag we got onto the subject of socks (naturally).  It turns out that Chris is a bit of sock-lover too, and had recently indulged in a pair of stripey numbers from Happy Socks.

So it’s a case of SPOTTED a pair of stripey Happy Socks ACCOMPANIED BY a pair grey suede Ted Baker boots AT London Bridge.

Birthday socks

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

What does every sock-loving guy get from his sockcessful g-friend for his birthday?  Answer: socks (of course).  So I was pleased to find x2 pairs of socks in my birthday stocking this year.  Pair 1: a pair of grey cashmere spot / stripe mixed socks from Comme des Garcons.  Pair 2: a pair of geometric green and blue socks from a Japanese brand called Ayame.  A truly awesome combo.

So awesome, that I trialled my grey Comme’s whilst we doing some champagne indulgence in Epernay.  So it’s a case of SPOTTED grey spot / stripe mixed socks AT hotel Villa Eugene on the Avenue du Champagne (a fine location to trial a fine pair of birthday socks!)

Sock anatomy

I was going to write that I wouldn’t be seen dead in these socks – though on second thought these are definitely the kind of socks that I would most definitely be seen dead in ; – )

Having said that, they’re kinda cool.  Randomly SPOTTED in the blog of v.cool Estonian designer Anton Repponen.
