Sock It To Me!

     Considering the fact that Spring has sprung we should be entering that warm weather time of year.  Here in NYC the sun may be out, but the winds are whirling and twirling between the sky scrapers, collecting speed and blasting free on the other side of the Hudson.  So, despite those daffodil buds, it's still a little too chilly to be sporting our sandals and peep toes.  But, don't you worry your pretty little minds because that's why they make socks... and fancy ones at that.   And let's be clear - no one wants to see your un-pedicured, smelly feet this early in the season.
    Socks with heels you ask? I say go for it!  No right or wrong here.  We have seen lace socks, wool socks, doily socks, striped socks, polka dot socks, knee socks - any sock would work.  Try out a few and see how they feel...and look.  At first, I will admit, it was a little strange when I looked down and saw my striped socks poking out of the toe of my emerald green peep toes, but it grew on me.  If you can't bring yourself to cross over to the wild side, then just wait it out a little longer, summer is just around the corner!

Dressing Logically!

     Unless you are living under a rock, where you have no weather perception or an escape tactic, then you know that "baby it's cold outside" (sang with vocals full of joy and cheer and a subtle teeth chatter).  So, just what are those cold weather essentials?  Well, let's see.  If we are traveling to those arctic snooty climates of Vail, Aspen or Jackson Hole you need to be fully bundled.  

     Let's start with the coat.  This has to make a statement because when you are on the street it's all you have to show off.  So button up, jazz up and show off.  Now, for our device-obsessed fingers we have gloves to keep them warm.  If you want my advice, leather is the way to go.  The toes need some love and warmth too.  Get a nice fur lined boot that allows you the shlep through the snow without worrying about getting your feet wet and cold.  Lastly, there is no cold weather look that is complete without a scarf or hat.  It will allow you to wrap yourself up in style and keep trending during the cold months.

Kors It's Stripes!

     Michael Kors sweeping theme of Spring 2013 was stripes, stripes and more stripes.  But honestly, no one else could have deconstructed the traditional vertical or horizontal striped pattern better than Michael himself.  Even down to the repeated exaggerated side part of the models, stripes stole the show.  The full striped jumpsuit, whether its the tripping effect that it has on your eyes or the genuine attraction that draws you to look at it, you were hooked.  It's the jail trend in full swing.  Linear and perfect, no other way to describe it.

Stay in line!
