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!

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.;-)

This was most certainly a toughie. Out of 53 comments, there were some really great ones. But who to choose? Instead of doing it randomly and running the results thru Random.org, I decided to hand-pick someone out of all the entries, leaving the cryptic “Best answer as to why you need this product” as the entry guidelines. But what constitutes “best???”
Many of you wanted to win it in order to present it to your mothers or other loved ones, like chun who wrote “I would love to give Cold Plasma as a gift to my mom…The truth is she wasn’t blessed with the best skin and is sensitive to most sunblocks, which has not resulted in graceful aging. Being in her 60s I feel like she has given up on taking care of herself.”
There were also some commenters who mentioned they were in relationships with younger men and thus need all the help they can get when it comes to battling the 10 signs of aging, like Angelique who wrote “It fights TEN SIGNS OF AGING!!! I’m 41, my boyfriend is 26…I need all the ammo I can get!!!”
Others mentioned difficult work/home lives, like trashywriter who wrote about how her routine daily is dropping off her twins at school, checking on her mother who had lost a lot of her independence from an open-heart surgery, and then taking care of a daughter who has Asperger’s.
Still others mentioned how you love Dr. Perrricone’s products but find them so pricey it’s difficult to rationalize the splurge on something like this. Others mentioned hitting a milestone age, or being told by other people that they look “old.”
So who gets it? I wish I could choose everyone who shared their skin woes so honestly (and I did read and consider every single entry)…but I chose
Jennifer
who wrote “At 55 years old I have all ’10 signs of aging: wrinkles, enlarged pores, dryness, discoloration, redness, uneven skin tone, impurities, loss of firmness, loss of smoothness and loss of radiance.’ Oh, to have my skin to look healthy again!! Younger again!!! And, maybe, my 19 year old will stop telling me how old I look! That one’s a real esteem killer!”
Well, congratulations Jennifer! I’ll be contacting you to get your shipping info so that the Perricone people can get your jar of Cold Plasma out on the way to you.
Thank you to all who entered, and there will be more giveaways in the future…including some loot from New York Fashion Week, so stay tuned!

A little silliness for your Saturday.
Remake yourself into an Old Navy Supermodelquin by “supermolding” yourself using their website interface (i.e., by building a face, body, and outfit on their site.)
Upload a photo of yourself to be entered to win the Grand Prize of $100,000!
These are the Supermodelquins I created of Hub and Lil Tot. I don’t know who the dog is. Lil Tot claims it is Pudding, “all grown up.” (Pudding is a grey Lhasa Apso/Shih Tzu, so I’m not sure where the resemblance lies. I think the dog in the above shot isn’t quite sure either.)
Here is me. I am, of course, shopping. Except for my eyes being too far apart, I think it’s a pretty good resemblance. I always wanted to be immortalized in plastic!

I am so excited to announce that Chic Steals has partnered with Perricone MD to give one lucky reader their very own jar of Cold Plasma!
Formulated with Perricone’s patented delivery system, Cold Plasma addresses the 10 most visible signs of aging: wrinkles, enlarged pores, dryness, discoloration, redness, uneven skin tone, impurities, loss of firmness, loss of smoothness and loss of radiance
From the website:
Our skin is the largest organ in the body and the barometer for internal health. As we age, our cellular metabolism changes, creating the need for easily assimilated targeted nutrients. Poor nutrition, the environment, stress, hormonal changes and modern lifestyles deplete the skin of essential nutrients needed to maintain its health and help prevent the visible signs of aging.
Inherent in Cold Plasma technology is the understanding that your skin determines the nutrients it needs to stay healthy, supple and youthful looking.
Every Individual is Unique.
All skin is not created equal. Each individual’s skin requires different elemental ingredients to ensure proper health and well-being. Through Dr. Perricone’s patented delivery system, Cold Plasma offers the skin all it needs for optimal health.
I myself cannot wait to try this product – it sounds like a virtual miracle-worker when it comes to aging skin! (Something I’m beginning to see recently – *sigh*) You can read more Cold Plasma Perricone Reviews from people who have used the product by clicking the link.
