How Weird Street Faire 2008

For the 2nd year in a row, The Sock Boutique participated in our neighborhood street faire by setting up a booth. We had many visitors all day long from our neighbors, long time friends to visitors of The Sock Boutique.


EbonyWings wore her beautiful kimono.

There were even robots. This guy loved our robot socks too.


It was a very colorful day!

Eco socks by Love & Socks in Roxanne Mag

Love & Socks, our eco line of socks, have been featured in the latest fashion spread of Roxanne Magazine. We all love Roxanne magazine and the ladies there that make the magazine happen.

The model is wearing our eco friendly Olive knee high socks and our Spring Green over the knee socks. We love the effect of wearing two pairs of socks and with all of the different colors we have available, you have dozens of different combinations.

Striped Tube Socks

Striped tube socks are definitely hot right now in fashion. There's Mariah Carey in her new video and Hannah Montana who wore them over the knee for her entire tour.

What many people don't realize is that when it comes to athletic teams and loungewear - tube socks have always been around. Cheerleaders, basketball players, dancers and those who like to chill in comfortably clothes around the home all love our tube socks. Tube socks come in a variety of different lengths and stripe styles. We currently make 3 styles, each with many different colors.

1. Over the Knee/Thigh High tube socks - These come with 3 thin stripes at top. They can be worn pulled up as high as they can go or many prefer to wear them a bit slouched and have them sit just above your knee. We added 2 new colors: Hot Pink & Neon Orange
   
2. Double Striped Knee High - We love these super fat stripes reminiscent of the 70's & 80's. Available in 9 delicious colors with Neon Orange just added. These are actually unisex style so they are sturdy. This is what the model is wearing below.
   
3. Triple Striped Knee High socks - These have 3 thin stripes across the top like our thigh high style above except they sit just below the knee. These are made for women and are not as thick as the unisex style above, they have more of a delicate look.
   

Kate Beckinsale in striped socks

Today at the local book shop I picked up the latest issue of Mean Magazine because the cover looked so very stylie. The gorgeous photo below is of actress Kate Beckinsale with some pretty cool striped stocks on. Their site has also has a cute video but the magazine has all the nice photos with her cool socks on.

Although we don't have those specific striped socks we have a few of our own. One of our favorites are the Blueberry Stripes and Candy striped socks.

Handmade Arm Warmers / Cuffs

My friend Christina hand sews clothing inspired by the SF Area belly dance scene under her label Black Lotus. We just love her work she makes all of these beautiful halters, skirts and our favorite - arm warmers.


In our storefront during the holidays we couldn't keep these on the shelves they went so fast. As of now we only have 4 left. Check them out, what do you think?
