What's good playazzz?! Happy Friday! ..or Saturday? My apologies for not blogging the past few days, I know you guys missed me! I'm going to play the blame game and say I didn't blog due to a lack of wifi, lack of motivation and alright being pretty lazy... Anyway whatever, I'm here now so that's what really matters right?! These socks are very similar to the original turtle boy crew socks, notice the cute big eyes and smile?! However, these are a lighter shade of green and have yellow and light light green stripes, so much style! Toy Machine doesn't stop with these rad monsters! Stay classy friends, Ashley

Sorry friends, I’m lacking some impressive words & information on these stylish socks today! They are however, VERY comfortable & give that “I’m a mature adult” vibe, right?! Haha I love them, I think they belonged to my ex boyfriend.... Oops. Enjoy you day, Ashley

Hey lovelies! Happy Thursday to you all! (or another day... again, depending on the country you're in!) Here is another pair of some prime socks!! This pair is seriously one of my favorites amongst the others! Maybe because I've always been a fan of neutral boring colors? Whatever! The matter is that these socks are killer for sure & will a definitely leave an impression on anyone who crosses you. These are once again made by Toy Machine, "Bloodshot Grey Crew Socks" You can find them at Zumiez or your local skate shop... or online for about $9! These socks are PRIME! Seriously adore them unfortunately, I already wore mine out a bit. however that shouldn't keep you from grabbing a pair for yourself or for for someone else! Keep it classy friends, Ashley

Evening friends! Hope everyone is enjoying their day! These socks right here are pretty rad! Right?! I’m a big fan of stripes and the color sequence is so easy on the eyes! Unfortunately I’m not sure of the brand, or how much they cost…. But that’s alright, I’m sure you can find something similar to them if you really wanted! They go up to right below my knee so they definitely give that sassy vibe! Perfect socks for the fall & super comfortable! The colors also remind me of Thanksgiving for some reason? Haha. Guess I have my socks planned for this upcoming one! Have a great day everyone! Stay positive, life is beautiful.

Confidently yours, Ashley

Greetings wonderful readers, hope everyone is having a blessed day/night, I know I am! well you probably already know what I have for you all… another pair of some badass looking socks to review! Although I don’t smoke anymore, I’ll still continue to represent these socks like any other! these socks are made by DGK, “dirty ghetto kids” that is… Who may I personally state, throw some badass fu*ckin parties! Anyway, co-founder Stevie Williams who is all the way from badass Philly, was included in the top 30 most influential skaters of all time according to Transworld Skateboarding magazine! These guys sure know what they’re doing, taking a world wide hit for sure! Anyway, these socks were another gift to me, I’m telling you my friends know the way to my heart, SOCKS! I’ve had these socks for several years and they have certainly lasted, solid material…though I am one who is a bitching bad with whites, they still look presentable till this day! You can pick any DGK socks up from your local skate shop I’m sure & you'll be able to find a variety of colors of these marijuana leaves haha. The socks range from around $6-$10, not too shabby!

Till next time friends, Ashley

Evening homies, hope everyone enjoyed their Monday… or Tuesday? Depending on what state or country you’re in?! Whatever, hope everyone is enjoying the start of a new week! I didn’t necessarily wear these beauties out today… being that they are pretty worn out, a bit smelly and the left one is signed by the man himself, *drum roll* Ed Templeton! Once again, like I previously stated you guys will see several posts of my Toy Machine sock collection, petty sure I have a majority of them….. Anyway, these are one of my favorites, “Turtle Boy Crew Socks” Big eyes & a smile, what’s not to like?! You can most likely pick these up at your local skate shop if still in stock, if not online! Around $7? Not bad!

(My feet look a little strange.. I only wear a 7 1/2…. That’s normal for my height… Right?!!!) 😅

Keep classy friends, Ashley

Hello friends!!! So sorry I’ve been lagging on a post, I accidentally deleted my tumblr app on my iPhone & have been insanely busy this past week! Anyway, not to worry! I’m back & here to enlighten you on another awesome pair of socks! These socks were a gift from a good friend, brought all the way from Petersburg, Florida! ...from the Salvador Dali Museum! Reworking the familiar theme of melting clocks from his earlier work, ‘Persistence of Memory,’ Dali presents a new emphasis on nuclear mysticism, ‘The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory’ (1952-54) in which he attempts to align modern science and mathematics with metaphysics. These socks are calf length & super comfortable!!! According to the website they were $28! Woah, talk about having an impressive sock game! Till next time friends, enjoy your weekend!

Stay happy, Ashley

Hello lovely readers, happy Saturday to you all! My socks of the day are made by the now infamous sock brand, STANCE! Honestly whenever I bring up anything about socks to people the first question is always seeming to relate either stance or toy machine, and the conversation always leads to “DO YOU KNOW ERICA YARY?!” & the answer is NO, not personally. Although I just saw her and her babe of a boyfriend Bert Wootton at the Street League Diamond Life after party at the Roosevelt Hotel in LA, who would have thought Bert was so tall?!!… Very cute couple though! cheers to them! … Anyway back to these awesome socks! I received these for a birthday gift back in 2011?! (My friends know I love socks!) These socks are actually men’s socks, “stance diamond fos” they are super comfortable & stylish with little monster faces things in the each of the diamonds! Hahha… I really dig the color concept, especially since they’re “men’s” socks!!! Black, white, light pink, light green, and a hint of blue to set it all together! A brilliant combination for a great outcome! You can still actually find these socks online at www.ccs.com for about $8! Check out the stance website for other awesome socks as well! After checking out their website, I will definitely be buying more stance socks! So many rad socks!!!! …hint hint people, my birthday is in October! ;)

Stay safe friends, Ashley

Morning friends! These right here will forever be my most FAVORITE socks….. Toy Machine crew socks!!!! (They also have these in ankle!) You guys will probably see a variety of these socks on my blog, being that they are the best socks ever & that I’m a major supporter of the crazy talented creator of the skateboarding company, Ed Templeton! These are actually the second pair of the “Monster face crew socks -red” that I’ve bought, I have the first pair signed by Ed Templeton himself, (I was a creepy girl at one of his art shows who took off her boot & asked him to sign the sock while it was still on my foot!) Anyway, the socks are super comfortable and hip and will always attract attention! (I was running around the Coachella Valley Music Festival earlier this year in these socks) they only range from about $5-$9 and could usually be found at your local skate shop or online! I seriously encourage you all to look more into not only Toy Machine, but Ed Templeton’s other awesome stuff as well! He’s an amazing skateboarder, photographer, author, vegan, and overall inspirational artist amongst many other things, I’m sure!

Have a lovely weekend, Ashley

Sup playaaaaz! These socks right here you’ve all probably seen in one color or another rocked by your local drug dealers, stoners & cool kids all around the world! HUF worldwide makes some comfortable, badass socks! (Yes my friends, those are marijuana plant leaves!) These socks are made out of some good quality material & they’ll definitely keep your feet nice and warm & looking stylish! I absolutely love the color combination too, a forest green, light green & red! Go pick some up at your local skate shop, they range from about $12-$15, worth it!

Later homies, Ashley

Now these socks right here used to be one of my favorite pairs! (Please excuse the PBR in the back! haha) As a major pizza lover, what's not to love!? Found these gems up in San Francisco back in October at a rad store called Sock Heaven, located within the shopping center at Fisherman's Wharf. Not too sure if they still have them in stock, being how I'm assuming they would be majorly popular and in high demand.... However, I did a bit of research and found them online at www.foottraffic.com for anyone interested, for only $8! Half the price of what my ex-boyfriend paid! What a steal! These socks however are classified as "women's socks" & go up to my mid calf, unfortunately they are pretty thin and rip easily if not properly taken care of, or just worn too much, ha! Have a lovely day, Ashley

My very inspirational, amazing, awesome friend Omar Elattar inspired me to start this rad sock blog, since quite frankly I have a pretty impressive, stylish sock collection! He actually gave me these socks as well, so I figured my first post would be dedicated in thanks to him! These stylish socks are made by Lifted Research Group… most people probably know them by their acronym #LRG! Go pick up a pair, super comfortable and stylish, I mean who doesn’t like cute pandas?! You can get them at your local utility board shop or online! 147% made with Love!

 Stay classy friends, Ashley
