Hey There Henry!

 I'm bringing my obsession over to Cherry Blossom Beauties. It is with this dress! Anyone who isn't familiar with this dress should know that it is designed by Henry Holland who I absolutely adore! I first heard of him through his tights (I know- of all things!) but I think I speak for all three of us when I say we have an obsession for tights! The suspender ones are kooky and cute! Back on track though, Henry! I absolutely adore Henry Holland's designs because they are so cute! I bought this dress about a year ago from Debenhams and I normally pair it with ankle boots and a grey cardigan, but it was our friend's party on Saturday and so I thought I'd shake it up a bit! I've been reading a lot of blogs recently about fashion and accesorizing and so I've thought about applying this to my fashion. Which is what I did on Saturday and I only have blogs to thank for that (cheesy!) So, I absolutely love all of these blogs, but I particularly love Selective Potential and Delightfully Tacky. But, if you wanted to check out any of these blogs then you can access them on my account. So anyway, back to this outfit! I paired the dress with lovely lacey tights, several necklaces and my gorgeous brogues! I think I may live in heals- it makes me taller! But hey, great things come in small packages right? xoxo

I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship

Helloooooo my name is Emma x well I've been meaning to write on here ever since we started but it has taken a while as you can tell.

So anyway, Welcome to the newly named Cherry Blossom Beauties. I'm not quite a girly girl as I adore camping, rock climbing and horse riding, but I love dressing up in beautiful clothes and experimenting with new styles (don't we all!!). I would love so much to travel the world and see what is out there. Usually I blog on If Nothing Goes Right.. Go Left which I started at the end of last year and absolutely love. I am also obsessed with everything vintage from clothing to records, the Beatles and Queen are one of my favorite bands (a quirk from my parents). Talking of quirks my favorite films all happen to either be Disney or have a soppy romantic ending (Titanic, Casablanca and the Notebook) which annoys the hell out of Eli.

Somehow this weird group of people have managed to stay together for the best part of three years and hopefully will for a lot longer.
Thankyou for reading and hope to see you soon x x
love Emma x

Jeggins

So for my second fashion post i have thought long and hard and have come up with a part of fashion that i believe should truly be hidden forever.... Jeggins. What the hell are they, if anyone has any idea please enlighten me.
I remeber my first encounter with the fake jeans. It was some day many years ago and i was shopping in meadowhall with my friend Megan (if anyone else was there i am sorry but i can't remember) and we had ventured into New Look, seriously its massive. i was wondering around the generation section, not because if am a perv but because sometimes they have crop tops in the right size for a normal price, and i came across some jeans i thought my sister would like. How wrong i was. From the first touch i knew that jeggins and i were destined to be enemies. They felt like leggins but looked like jeans, major confusion! I called megan over and showed her. At first she was probablly thinking 'Eli, you do know that you can't fit into a pair of 9-10 jeans right' but upon feeling the abominations she to recoiled in horror at the jegginyness.
'Oh my god. They look like jeans but are leggins'.
My sentiments exactly. It was nice to know that someone else was on my wavelength. Since then jeggins had a brief spot at the top but have now gone into extintion and rightly so, nothing that pretends to be jeans but on a more comfortable level should be allowed to survive. Harsh but true.
Jeggins = evil. (sorry if you own a pair)

OMG

Hello people of the world, as you will know (if you read the blog) that i have agreed to start a blog with my friends... WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING!!!! I would not say that i am a fashionista who is up to date with Prada's latest range in feathered turbans so why did i agree to a fashion blog?? It was only last year that i deciphered the mystery world of peter pan collars for god's sake (did peter pan wear a collar, i don't remember?) Anyway, i have decided to use the same techniques i do when we go shopping and words like 'bodycon' and 'ruffled' float past my eyes- sarcasm, a girls best friend. the only way i keep my head above the jewel encrusted water that is fashion is to take the mick out of things that scare me. Massive platform heels that cost £40 for example, or pussy bow blouses- i mean, really, who thought up that name? The industry has gone mad, before we know it everyone will be wearing dog leg trousers to go with our pussybow blouses.
   But enough of my slanted view of fashion for one day. until i find another fashion faux pas to diss, bye xxxxx

True loves...

Hey, I know that a lot of you probably wouldn't want to read a blog about someone you don't know! So, for my first official post for Very Odd Socks I thought I'd let you know a bit more about me. Firstly, the name is possibly temporary! Very Odd Socks is the name we chose because we couldn't decide on a name, so if you see a few changes in the next few weeks, we'll apologise now! I've known Eli and Emma for about three years now, which I guess doesn't sound like a long time, but to me it seems like I've known them a lifetime! They probably know everything about me combined and I spend a lot of time with them. So, I guess a key thing about me (despite being a hopeless romantic) is that I have a love for cats! I know, I'm like a crazy cat lady! My friends are constantly making fun of me due to my weird obsession, but don't we all have our quirks? And I have plenty, which I'm sure you'll find out about. I usually blog on The Red Flower which I absolutely adore and started last November. I'm obsessed with fashion and music, and like to be different. If I had to choose a style, I'd have to say that I constantly fall back on cute dresses and ankle boots, but I'm attempting to shake this up a little bit at the moment. I'm really excited to posting be on 'Very Odd Socks' and can't wait to read what my fellow bloggers write either. I wish you a happy Friday (finally it's here) and I shall write soon xoxo

Pilot post

Welcome to Very Odd Socks! We're Eli, Emma and Poppy and we all come from a very small town near Sheffield. We all have very different outlooks on life, but somehow manage to tolerate each other enough to sustain a crazy friendship.
Eli
Hi I'm eli (thats ellie but with an individual take). I am the one with my feet firmly planted on earth and the rest just float about above my head. Just watch for my sarcastic comments and laugh! :)

Eli!!! Looking awsome as ever.

Emma
Heya, my names Emma and apparently im the ditsy one of the bunch. I am not a stereotypical blonde, but I have to admit I do have some very bizzare moments that could be classed as blondism!!
P.S. I cannot spell to save my life so am really sorry if you cannot understand a word I say!!

Emma!!! Freezing her ass off.

Poppy
I wouldn't say that I am overly mature, or overly ditsy, but I am a happy middle! All of my friends would say that I'm a hopeless romantic with a life plan that would kick anyone into shape! But, what's wrong with being optimistic?

Poppy!!! Tying the knot.

We hope that you love reading our bizzare thoughts! xoxo
