Pink Apple socks
Sunday, May 15th, 2011Soho street Pantherella’s
Friday, May 13th, 2011SPOTTED my friend (and fellow sock lover) JustinP ON the streets of Soho, SPORTING a shiny new pair of Pantherella socks ACCOMPANIED by a pair of B Store loafers and skinny jeans. Great combo.
Oscar’s first socks
Wednesday, May 11th, 2011Last weekend was spent visiting my new nephew Oscar in Luxembourg. Oscar’s now the grand old age of 6 weeks, and is sporting a burgeoning sock collection. My favorites were his *smily face socks*, which were – according to my sister – bought for Oscar by her Portuguese cleaner.
Royal Wedding socks
Sunday, May 8th, 2011I have no idea what socks prince William was wearing on his big day, however I decided to celebrate the occasion by indulging in a new pair of Richard James’ finest.
So it was a case of spotted a pair of Richard James hounds tooth socks accompanied by a pair of Vivienne Westwood check trousers and a pair of Eterno brown suede loafers.
Richard James socks on Mount Street
Saturday, May 7th, 2011SPOTTED Sockgirl’s friend Ian indulging in some *weekend spring sock shopping* on Mount street, Mayfair. Ian’s sock indulgence is fully endorsed by SockMan, as he’d opted for x3 pairs of spotty Richard James designed Pantherellas – matching the best British design with the best British manufacturing.
DC socks
Thursday, March 31st, 2011On the way back home to London, I popped by to see my old NAPA buddies in Washington DC. Having hot footed it from New York after spending the night before dressed as a cat, I thought I’d celebrate with a brand new pair of Italian socks kindly donated by my meme-mate @AlbinoRiotMan.
So it’s a case of SPOTTED, a fine pair of green Lorenzo Uomo socks AT the Washington Plaza hotel. And I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the Uomo’s (which BTW are bizarrely a New Zealand brand!)- as they proved a snug fit, although the higher-leg fitting requires some getting used to . . .
Soho (Grand) socks
Tuesday, March 29th, 2011Last weekend was an NYC weekend – spent hanging with Sock Girl at the Soho Grand and trawling the streets for the *finest burger in Manhattan*. We eventually tracked down the *Black Label Burger* at the seriously cool Minetta Tavern in the West Village – thanks to ever burger-studious Jen.
And what socks does such an occasion demand – well, the finest burger requires the finest socks – a pair of my loveliest Comme des Garcons. And what do you wear with a fine pair of Comme des Garcons socks – a pair of seriously awesome Vivienne Westwood check trousers.
SX Sock FAIL ;-(
Monday, March 14th, 2011Geeks may have more power and more money than ever, however they have no idea whatsoever when it comes to sock style, with a high preference for *white socks and trainers – definitely not cool.
So it’s a case of SPOTTED a ton geeks indulging in white socks n trainers @SXSW, Austin, Texas.
Sydney socks
Sunday, March 6th, 2011SPOTTED, a pair of fading (but loved) Duchamp spotty black socks ACCOMPANIED BY some distinctly scuffed *blue Prada loafers* and *Acne jeans* overlooking a gloomy Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Sun, sea, surf n’ socks
Monday, February 7th, 2011Socks and Australia don’t massively make the best bed-fellows. Quite simply, the Australian way of life (sun, sea, surf) doesn’t need socks. This is of course mildly frustrating for a self-proclaimed *sock lover*, as since my travels over here I’ve had to do the most *sockreligious* of sock etiquette, and have been wearing my socks sub-ankle length.
Wearing a pair of the finest socks known to man tucked into your shoes would normally make me weep, however I’ve come to accept that in the land of the *board short and thongs*, surf is king leaving socks playing a bit part.
So it’s a case of SPOTTED a pair of scarlet Patherella socks *folded-sub-ankle* at Federation Square [watching Julian Assange's speech on the big screen].
