Hilary Swank Won’t Give Up Her UGGs

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

In the newest issue of In Style magazine there’s an article about Hilary Swank. And on the Hilary’s Essentials list is a pair of Chestnut UGG Coquette Slippers. She will never give them up and I don’t blame her. I just got a new pair in that beautiful gray felt color. My old ones were so dirty that I was embarrassed to take them with me to visit relatives in Seattle. I do love my UGG slippers!

Have you seen one of the newest UGG Boots called the Bailey Button Triplet?  I predict that this is the tall  boot that will sell out first this winter.  Of course, if I was any good at predictions I would have won a lottery or horse race by now. Or at least a $2 scratch off.

I love that the UGG Bailey Triplet  can be worn up or down with the fluffy sheepskin showing.  And I love  that it’s easier to wear over skinny jeans than the tall Classic UGG boots. It differs because of the side opening and the elastic loops for the buttons. That bit of roominess is perfect for tucking jeans in.  I already grabbed mine in that gorgeous teal color, Atlantic Blue. I also find that my bootleg jeans tuck nicely into them too.  So this is a good choice. I’m also thinking that the UGG Bailey Triplet would be a good choice for gals with bigger calves.  Sometimes women with larger calves have trouble with the UGG Classic Tall Boot and end up buying the UGG Classic Short Boots instead.  I suggest they try the UGG Triplet on for size if they really want a taller boot.

Kathy Griffin Loves Her UGG Cardy Boots

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

My husband and I are Kathy Griffin fans and love her D-List show. We couldn’t help notice that she’s been seen wearing black UGG Cardy Boots. Then there was the episode when they were designing the Mag-Let. Kathy says it will be the biggest thing since …. and Tiffany pipes in UGGs. I swear I also saw one of her assistants with a pair too. So, naturally, I think they have good taste when it comes to shoes. I have never owned a pair of Cardys because in North Idaho it’s so cold eight months out of the year that I need to wear UGG Classic Boots because of the sheepskin lining. Then for two months I wear UGG sneakers and it’s on to UGG sandals for the two months of true summer here. 

Now I only hope I at least get some ripe tomatoes this year.  Summer began wet and cold and I couldn’t plant until June 15th.  One of my many quirks is that I feel I need to celebrate summer by trying to grow some tomatoes.  I’ve been doing this for decades.  Even while living in apartments with balconies,  I always had one tomato plant in a pot.
