Rihanna Socks X Stance

Recently the rise of the sock and the open toe shoe combi or the sock with any shoe be it a dainty heel or trainer have become - with stealth might I add the new fashion trend hitting the streets and I say with stealth since it has been quietly bubbling away as a trend and is set to become a hot trend for the next few seasons especially with the launch of Rihanna X Stance socks. I love any accessory that helps add that extra little something to footwear and I think with Rihanna's fashion know how this won't be hard to get right - I absolutely ADORE the fall collection so I leave you with some of the socks and illustrations which I equally love as much!

London Fashion Week Men's 

Friday - Monday (if you didn't know already) made way for London Fashion Week Mens a time I think is a very important and exciting addition to the Fashion Industry. The last few years have certainly seen the mens fashion sector pick up speed to a pace that definitely should be as well documented as ladies fashion. With the rise of the fashion conscious man this seasons fashion shows certainly impressed not only in the clothing department but the footwear department too, much like fashion these days what was pretty obvious is the ever closing gap between - 'is that mens wear of womenswear?' and I love it. This couldn't have been more evident on the streets of London, street-style is the best way to see which way fashion is going and fashion week is often the platform for fashion enthusiasts, designers and bloggers to express that. Footwear highlighted just how versatile the cross over from mens to women's fashion can do this, not only as statement piece but combined with some very dare i say the word 'funky' socks, tights and leggings. Now I have never been a huge fan of this sock and open toe shoe duo but recently the combinations/pairings I have seen on the street has really started to grow on me. So with that said here are some of the stand out pieces i spotted from social media, the runway and on the streets!
