Love it or hate it: Socks with heels?

louloupg73Flipping through our March issue, I’m sure you spotted a couple of our models wearing the latest bare leg styling technique: socks with heels. Yeap, socks, stretched half way up the calf paired with pumps, platforms, open-toed shoes… you name it! Once considered a god-awful, tourist-in-action fashion faux pas, this spring it’s poised to be the hottest new craze. Models on the spring Burberry runway sported nude platform heels with nude socks and right here on Canadian soil, models at Joe Fresh Style strutted in clogs paired with crisp white knee-highs–a look straight out of a retro ’50s movie. The nude-on-nude vibe is the easiest to wear—it looks like a pair of booties from afar—but to me, this styling technique is a very slippery slope.

So I gotta know: will you sport this cool, unexpected look when the snow starts to melt? Or are you going to steer clear of this trend and leave it in the hands (erm, feet) of the clueless tourist?

Is there anything better than free shoes?

Cesare PaciottiI’ll be honest with you guys. I totally love my job. But like any other job, there is one drawback. I can’t enter any of the contests on the site! (Unfair, I know!) This month, LOULOU is giving you the chance to win $500 worth of shoes!!! It’s like the contest was made just for me and my shoe obsession (here’s my most recent obsession, by the way) and yet, I cannot participate. Boo!

What would you do if you won free shoes? Read the rest of this entry »
