Every time Fashion Week and Market week roll around, Arlene and I take a different attack. Our NY schedule is always dictated by the Rachel Comey show. (In case it’s not overwhelmingly evident, we are kind of obsessed with all things Comey.) This time around the Comey show was actually the day before Fashion Week. So we went in for that, stayed for 2 days, and then went back 2 weeks later for 1 night/2 days.

Here’s some more snaps from our trip. We always have the best time…

The music at Comey was AH MAY ZING — these 2 female drummers who call themselves “IUD.” Rachel is just so cool. And the internet celebz know it, too…

At the Piers

some pretties from Loeffler Randall

A little shopping stop at Rogan, where we discovered the fabulous SFK camera straps

Arlene and I joke that what we really look forward to the most is the food, and the fashion is just the icing on top. Our latest food discovery is the super-delicious and adorable Peels (on Bowery, right across the street from Rogan — GO!)

There’s always so much to do and see in NYC, I can’t wait until next time!

Great people, amazing food & some really great fashion….just the fun filled 4 days we needed and the reasons why we love NYC so much.  Here are a few photos we just had to share…

Our Gary Graham appt was the perfect way to end our trip. It was so great working with Eliane and off the photos from the Gary Graham presentation. It's amazing amazing work they do over there!!

We have been obsessed with those slouchy ankle socks from Prada since we first started seeing them in ‘08. We cannot for the life of us find what collection they are from and are starting to think that maybe they weren’t Prada after all. The only thing we’re sure of is that we saw them. Somewhere.

It never occurred to us to actually invest in them. I guess we both thought, they’re just socks. We can get socks anywhere. Well, little did we know what a task we had tasked ourselves with! For the past year and a half or so, we have been searching high and low for the perfect slouchy ankle socks. We’ve been to Target, to American Apparel, to Bloomingdales, H&M, Urban Outfitters… We’ve bought countless pairs of socks and tried to DIY our own Prada slouchy sock, but to no avail.

Then, we were at Bloomies looking for tights for an upcoming shoot and came across these little guys from Betsey Johnson…

We definitely were not looking for pink glitter Betsey Johnson socks, but they were seriously calling out to me. So we got them. And they’re perfect…

Since starting on this post, I’ve done a lot of research in my quest to find that elusive little slouchy ankle sock and my search has unearthed some of the internet’s most stylish ladies rockin’ all kinds of socks. So, thought I’d collect a few of them and give you a tribute to the Sock.
