How To Wear Your UGGs

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010

I’ve got news for you, UGGs are not just for the young. They’re also for the young at heart, no matter what your age. Since the classic (basic) UGG boots have been around now for over 30 years, they aren’t going away. Once you get over the notion that they’re ugly, your boot world expands into the realm of warm and comfortable footwear. Aaaah, bliss. No blisters, corns or bunions from a boot.

I get older women asking what they can wear them with.  The simple answer is — EVERYTHING.  Take a page from the younger girls and celebrities who take UGGs out of the fashion box by pairing them with spring dresses to summer shorts. They aren’t fashion shy, that’s for sure.  That’s not my style, but basically, you can wear them with any of your usual casual clothing.  You don’t need to go buy anything new to wear them with. You probably have plenty of stuff in your closet already – jeans, leggings, sweat pants – it’s all good.

The best answer is to wear your UGGs with lots of attitude! Life is too short to worry about what other people will think of your fashion choices.  Besides, what I can tell from viewing New York fashion week is that anything goes.  And if it doesn’t go, that’s must be haute couture.

If you want cute UGG Boots that are guaranteed to draw looks, compliments, envy and complaints, get these new darlings: the UGG Sheepskin Cuff boots.  Personally, I think it’s wa-aay cuter than most of the Jimmy Choo UGG boots and much cheaper too! Pair it skinny jeans or leggings and that most important accessory of all — LOTS of ATTITUDE !

I Love UGGs Lexi

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

I usually rave about UGG Boots, but today I’m feeling pretty good about my new UGG Lexi slippers. I have an old pair of UGG Cozy II slippers which are on their second pair of UGG insoles. Then a few weeks ago I snagged a pair of felt gray UGG Coquette slippers to replace them. But then I saw the UGG Lexi and thought  it’s so cute with it’s sneaker sole. Had to have them. I bought them in black and wore them out of the store with my boot-cut denim jeans. After all, I was only going from the store to my car, then home. On the way home I remembered I was out of cat food. The canned kind. With three cats at home and it being dinner time, dry food isn’t enough. They are accustomed to a bit of wet also. So I went into Walmart sporting my black Lexi slippers. I kept my sunglasses on to see if anyone noticed I was wearing my slippers. NO! Not one person even glanced at my black fur collared slippers. What’s wrong with those people?

And has everyone seen the UGG – Choo boots that are out now?  Or at least they can be pre-orderd.  I was thinking I would hate all of them because I wasn’t thrilled with Nicki H’s boots.  But I actually found two pair I would wear. First is the MANDAH with two-toned studding.  Plenty of bling here. And it’s a mere $795. I’m assuming that’s for two boots, not one.

And if money truly were no matter for me and I had a few less brain cells, I would absolutely HAVE to get the blue zebra studded UGG KAIA Boots.  At $595 – they are a real steal. Really, after these, what else is there to buy for your feet?  And we all know I am full up on Louboutin and Atwood pumps.  And who the heck picked these names?  What do they really mean in Swahili?  Probably something like “stupid buyer”.

Jimmy Choo & UGG Have a Baby

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

Well, the Jimmy Choo and UGG collaboration has finally given birth to the much awaited: STAR STUDDED UGG CLASSIC BOOTS. Say what? Yeah, here it is folks. Nicki Hilton was one of the first to buy these UGGs and wear them. Then of course, tweeted the universe with… “love my new Jimmy Choo UGGs”. Now, I love my UGGs as much as the next gal but I would never pay $795 for this boot. I think this is living proof that some people have more money than good sense.

This boot won’t be out for the general public until October, but Nicky managed to get her feet into a pair already. The “Chugg” boots (as they’ve been endearingly dubbed by members of the fashion industry) will be a part of the brands’ capsule collection, which was born out of Choo president Tamara  Mellon’s love for the sheepskin style. “Other than Jimmy Choos, UGGs are the only other footwear I have in my wardrobe,” said Mellon. But I have to say I kinda like the studs.  I’m thinking of taking an old pair of Chestnut UGG Classic boots I own and attempting a studded version of my own design.  I think a visit to the craft store and an ice pick will yield some spectacular results. Well, maybe not as spectacular as the star studded Choo shoes, but something interesting at any rate. And let’s not forget the dollar savings!  I can’t wait to get started.

Kate Hudson Rocks Classic Tall UGG Boots

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

I always love it when I find Hollywood celebrities rocking a great pair of UGG Boots. Have you seen these cute pictures of Kate Hudson rocking her UGG Classic Tall boots in gray? This cute picture was found in Glamour magazine in the July 2010 issue. I think it’s on page 56 if my memory is working today. How cute is this look? The trendy, fabulous, floral print romper with a pair of UGG Boots looks great, don’t you agree? I wear UGGs in the Spring because the weather in North Idaho is still cold.  It doesn’t really matter whether you live in Los Angeles or Boston,  if you haven’t tried a pretty floral romper or dress with your UGG boots, you should!

You can transition this floral romper or a floral dress into early fall by adding leggings, a jacket and a warm scarf.  There are some other UGG Boots that would work with this look.  Have you seen the new UGG Retro Cargo boot? It has a stripe up the side and a functional pocket. And of course, it’s filled with that warm, snuggly sheepskin fleece.  Another UGG boot that would look so cute with this look is the UGG Classic Cardy boots.  I’m specifically thinking of the new ones that are flecked with metallic threads.  I love-love this in gray with silver metallic. It’s just enough to catch the light and certainly spark some interest!
