So The Uniform Project will soon conclude a year of stylish, inspiring outfits styled with the same black dress for 365 days straight. Now you can pre-order that very same little black dress, in your own size here (they’re only making 365!).
If you are also interested in the fabulous and many accoutrements Sheena styled her LBD with, they are now available for auction on Ebay – with all proceeds going to the Akanksha Project to bring education to struggling children in India.
Check out their webpage above for more information about the Project, the Akanksha initiative, and to get tons of inspiration to that eternal question: “What do I wear today?”

Mar 30, 2010 | Fashion, Score!
SockTheory.com, a brand-new (as of January 2010!) online store devoted to legwear in all its fabulosity, has me drooling.
No, seriously. Drooling over…socks?
Well, it’s not just socks. They are purveyors of not only the trendy, but also the tasteful, elegant, everyday needs, and the hard-to-find items of legwear even the most die-hard connoisseursmight have a hard time sourcing elsewhere.
Pantyhose with toes?
Yup. They sell ’em.
Lace-up slipper socks?
Sure. (Getting that Chanel S/S 2010 look for $7 sounds like heaven to me!)
Printed stirrup-socks?
Yes, sireee.
And they also stock armwarmers too (a personal fave).
A-a-a-and everything on the site is $25 or less, with many items of legwear under $10! (Oh, and they deliver internationally – woohoo!)
Owner Morgan developed the concept of legwear as the centerpiece of an outfit, instead of just an accessory. She writes “I’ve been sock- and tights- obsessed for my whole life, so branching into this is a dream I’ve always had. When you are a lifelong New Yorker and walking Seventh Avenue every day, it’s impossible not to be fashion-minded. City-style fashion is something that inspires me.”
“Selecting only products that are unique and interesting is important. I’m not interested in carrying only your standard “top seller basics.” Sock Theory is about branching out and expanding your legware horizons =). I own, wear, and model everything you see on the site.”
SockTheory: Sexy Socks and Legwear for Any Theoretical Outfit!
Well, Morgan’s got a great eye for variety, and a gorgeous pair of gams to say the least!
And, exclusively for Chic Steals readers: enter code CHICSTEALS in the coupon code box during checkout to receive 10% off of purchases of $25 or more!
So what are you waiting for? Check out SockTheory.com now, browse through the many images of covetable legwear, get some great styling ideas, and clickety-click your way to 10% off, just in time for Easter.;-)

Okay…I know, she doesn’t look anything like me. But one can dream, right?
Brought to you by the girls behind Like.com, Covet, and Weardrobe, Couturious is like paper dolls all grown up (and wearing designer outfits!)
Though it’s still in beta, stocked with the latest designer collections, it’s a fun mix-and-match site where you can try on the latest outfits and play stylist for a day. Plus you can network with other users, rate other looks, and find yourself a featured Stylist on their homepage.
Love it!
The outfit above and its details are here if you are interested.

From the website:
Designer, visionary, artist, Rad Hourani reinvented fashion by transcending its conventions, creating a unisex luxury that is changing women’s and men’s wardrobes since he launched his namesake label in 2007 in Paris. He follows no gender, no season, no rules, epitomising the very modern values of freedom, passion and unisex elegance.
RAD by Rad Hourani is a complementary unisex collection to the main label, and is recasting the same silhouettes in more casual cuts and fluid materials. Launched in 2009 in New York, the aseasonal collection consists of light and wearable basics in shades of black, white, grey and midnight blue. Classic styles include one size unisex top/dress with suspender straps, bold prints or dress/top/veste sheer paneling, zip straps pants/jeans, and drapey cardigans, embodied in long, layered silhouettes, razor-sharp tailoring, and simple and geometric yet intricately detailed pieces.
With prices ranging from $170 to $390, this diffusion line is just as cool but far more affordable than Hourani’s eponymous line. Buy online here.
And just because I love it, I’d also like to share with you images of the Rad Hourani A/W 2010 Unisex collection:
I’d argue that maybe the tights and liquid-look bike shorts on the men are not exactly unisex, but everything else is utterly covetable. I just want to drape myself in black, cocoon-like layers, like some insect shedding skin after successive skin.
Think Forever21 will ever do some knockoffs of this??
And would rad be too pedestrian a description for this anti-social chicness?
