I Like Socks

This morning when I was walking to the skytrain, I could see my breath. It's getting cold and when it gets cold, my obsession with cute socks and hosiery gets reignited.

One of my favourite sock designer (yup, doesn't everyone have a favourite sock designer?) is Hannah Byun of Hansel from Basel. Just the right amount of quirk and cuteness.

(And I mean, if she styled these following pictures... I love her even more. Look at picture one! Rachel Comey printed jeans  <3).

sheer knee pads! (I mean, yeah she's famous for the knee pad socks but these ones are sheer!)

Bundle Up!

I actually had to wear a jacket today and real shoes because flats would've just been ruined by the rain. It was super chilly and I think it's really time to wear socks and bundle up (that's saying a lot because I rarely get cold enough to want to do that). 

The Wilfred Free Navajo jacket looks like a good layering item. In September, it's strangely summery in Vancouver - so having a sleeveless jacket is good for layering. But by October, it's probably going to be worn in place of a cardigan, under a coat. 

Come colder days, I am a sucker for knit goods. Socks with animals on them? YES, GIVE THEM TO ME! LET ME BUY IT! Cute cardigan with an animal motif? HAND IT OVER NOW! But joking aside, I will buy almost anything with an animal motif. Really. Seriously. Honestly.
