So I'm quite enjoying this thread, not to mention your post makes me want to go to New Zealand even more!:) As far as socks go, there ones are the winners for me: <br />http://www.amazon.com/KEEN-Womens-Bellingham-Socks-Small/dp/B0073XDZJ0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421638246&sr=8-1&keywords=bellingham+socks<br />Keen Bellingham Crew Lite Socks.<br /><br />Wonderful wool socks. I've got toenails that go through most socks in three wears, max. I've never worn out these either on toe or heel (unlike my smartwool socks and even some other keen ones). I'll wear them 3 days in a row with no apparent ill effects. The right and left socks seems unimportant and playfully cute at first, but I can attest that I can hike longer and happier in these socks than any others, and I think it's due to the slight bit of arch support that differentiation gives you. <br />They do pill slightly....that has never bothered me, but you're forewarned:) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-12610452698374464472015-01-18T17:31:58.793-08:002015-01-18T17:31:58.793-08:00For running socks, balega is awesome.

I have a couple of suggestions of style blogs for you: <br />Bridgette Raes, she's a style coach, and I find her style very thorough.<br />MaiTai's Picture Book, she always looks very put together and elegant, but not overly corporate. She wears lots of Hermes scarves (!), but I still find her outfits inspiring.<br />Lady of Style, she post both her work and non-work outfits. Although she is very fashion conscious, she does not look "trendy".<br /><br />Regarding Pinterest, have you tried searching something like "business casual attire"? You could then pin what you like, and then check out the boards of the person who pin the picture (if you pin more of their pins, you could start following) and/ or check out the source of the pin (you can find more blogs to follow).Aubergine Kenobihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692465937399435917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-33366999820521657732015-01-15T22:40:39.423-08:002015-01-15T22:40:39.423-08:00Hi Cloud,

They last for a few years with moderate use. For really nice socks, I agree with shopping at an outdoors store like REI.

I have this one pair of Smartwool socks that I LOVE and a few others that I don't love as much (too tight/itchy).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-71132248092044800842015-01-14T09:45:59.135-08:002015-01-14T09:45:59.135-08:00Liking the sock recommendations!

We all have sock issues around, so I'm in the market for men's/women's/kids' socks because I'm also tired of throwing away hole-y socks every time I do the wash. <br />For professional style blogs, I used to read Franish, Wardrobe Oxygen, Looks Good from the Back. I quit all style blogs because it led to too much WANT WANT NEED BUY with clothing/accessories.

Regarding socks, I've mostly enjoyed SmartWool socks, which I've found at REI and a locally-owned shoe store in Austin (Karavel). I also ask for SmartWool socks for Christmas every year. I tend to poke holes in the toes of socks and running shoes, but I've rarelyhad a toe hole in a SmartWool sock. I do have a couple of athletic pairs that are developing thin spots in the heel and ball of the foot, but I honestly can't remember how old they are, and they may be from my long-distance running days, about 5-7 years ago.

I really like the Icebreaker range for wool & my cotton socks are from Max. I also like the Lululemon no-show running socks - I don't wear them for running but they're great low cut socks with my merrell & Adidas casual sneakers. <br /><br />I actually find Farmer's kids clothes really good value - I LOVE the merino. It washes & wears so well.<br /><br />Hmm.
