Not Just Your Mother’s UGGs

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

Last week while visiting San Francisco with my daughter, I saw a mother and two of her daughter’s shopping in a famous department store. They were all wearing UGG boots. The mom had on a pair of chestnut classic short UGG boots, one daughter was wearing classic tall chocolate UGG boots (with jeans tucked in) and the youngest was wearing classic short gray UGG boots. I thought, “hmmm, there’s about 25 years here between the mom and the youngest, yet they’re all wearing UGGs. ” What that told me was something I’ve always known but it’s always interesting to see. And that something is that UGGs are not a fad. They aren’t going away. So all you people out there who hate UGG boots, who think they’re ugly and wish they would go away … Get over it ! Have you seen those ads for jeans labeled “Not Your Mother’s Jeans”? Well, I thought of that when I saw the mom and her daughters. Not your mother’s UGGs.

Then my daughter and I an uncontrollable urge for more of the fabulous lattes from the little hole-in-the-wall Italian coffee shop we found. So off we went. I, by the way, was wearing a pair of UGG Bettey shoes. I wore them all over the city for three days, never got blisters or even noticed my feet. That’s pretty comfortable in my book.

Celebrities and Their UGG’s

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

We all know Hollywood celebrities have been wearing UGG boots for years and now their children are also sporting the super comfortable casual UGG boot such as the classic short and classic tall. It seems that the women tried them first and the men were talked into trying UGGs as well. And we all know that once we get a pair of UGG Classics like the Classic Tall Romantic Flower, there’s simply no going back. But fashionistas love them too!

From Grazia Daily, a daily digest of fashion trends, beauty tips and exclusive A-list news.

You can always rely on Andre Leon Talley [who is the American editor-at-large for Vogue magazine and has been a front-row regular at fashion shows in New York, Paris, London and Milan for more than 25 years] to deliver a good line or two. , each quote is a gem in itself!

On his style:
‘You cannot live your life in the elitist world of fashion and not step out or you’re disconnected. You have to realize that fashion is not the endgame. I started wearing Uggs two years ago. It’s a cozy shoe. Also, they’re only $98.’ In fact, at home, he wears ‘Juicy Couture shorts a Ralph Lauren polo shirt and Uggs. But don’t expect him to wear Crocs. ‘I draw the line at Uggs.’

I recently spotted Sheree Whitfield of the ‘Real Housewives Of Atlanta’  (Bravo TV) wearing a pair of Classic Tall Chestnut boots during one of the episodes. They looked cool and casual with her green velour lounging outfit (at my house we call them sweats). But she wasn’t breaking a sweat.

Speaking of Bravo – have you become addicted to ‘Flipping Out’ like we have? If we won the lottery we’d have Jeff Lewis re-design our house. He had to visit a client who requested that he wear pajamas. Of course he wore a tailored pair along with UGG Men’s Scuff slippers .

No matter how you think they look, UGGs are not a fad and are here to stay.
