UGG’s For Fall

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Fall has definitely begun up here in North Idaho, and as usual, it is spectacularly beautiful. The temperature has cooled down enough in the evening and morning so that the first thing I look for is my warm UGG boots. I use a pair of Classic Short UGG Boots in burnt olive (an old color) as my main house slippers. One of the benefits of this is when I happen to forget to change shoes before I go to town to run errands, so what? I still look alright and my feet are still warm and comfortable. I’ll bet I’m not the only UGG Boots wearer who does this.

Though my burnt olive UGG boots are an old color I am definitely lusting for a new color. Have you seen the new lineup? I think it’s the most colorful selection ever. I love the Pacific blue

as it’s so rich looking and a perfect fall color. And don’t even get me started on all of the Metallic UGG boots !

While grocery shopping this weekend I spotted a cute girl wearing black leggings tucked into a pair of Classic Tall Women’s sand color UGG Boots. When she turned away I saw that there was a big hole in the side of her left boot. It looked as if a puppy had chewed the heck out of it. So thinking quickly, I quietly introduced myself to her and handed her one of my business cards for Snow River, the UGG boots store in town. I told her I understood her love for her UGG Boots but if she’d like a new pair, I’d give her a discount for them. She laughed and said she would definitely take me up on the offer.

Now you know one of the reasons why many people choose to live in very small towns. The people are friendly.

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.

UGG’s and Cloud Nine-What A Pair!!!

Friday, September 25th, 2009

Beautiful, isolated Sandpoint, Idaho isn’t known as a hotspot for glamour focused celebrities. Though we are probably the most beautiful city in America, we don’t have enough expensive stores to keep celebs occupied. However, we do attract a few of the more unusual celebrities, I would say it’s the cerebral type. Such as Ben Stein. He has a home here and we’ve known about it for years but have never seen him. Finally it happened. Twice in one month. The first time was when my husband had walked to the post office to mail some UGG slippers and UGG boots from our internet orders. Ben held the door open for him and commented on his cool hat. The next time Ben Stein appeared was actually in our store. A friend who was visiting bought him a pair of Cloud Nine sheepskin slippers and he came in to get the correct size. We were excited because we had been avid watchers of his show, “Win Ben Stein’s Money.” And we have always loved his extra dry humor and delivery.

Speaking of sheepskin slippers, we offer Cloud Nine because they are well made, comfortable and offer styles and features that the UGG slippers don’t. For example, all of the Cloud Nine slippers have soft rubber soles that give you some cushioning while many of the UGG slippers have hard rubber or thin scuff soles with no cushioning. If you have hardwood or tile floors the cushioning of the Cloud Nine slippers is great. Cloud Nine keeps the price down by using cowhide suede outers and a grade of sheepskin that is near but not the same quality as UGG slippers. Ben liked the Cloud Nine Northwest Slip-In Men’s Slippers. We also carry a Cloud Nine Moccasin style, a Booty style and a more classic Romeo slipper. These are just the men’s slippers.

We also have a good selection of sheepskin slippers for women from Cloud Nine. The Sierra Women’s Driving Moccasin is a good alternative to the always popular UGG Dakota slipper.

Treat yourself like a celebrity and put your feet in some soft, cozy and warm slippers from Snow River.

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.

UGGs and Switzerland

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

I thought you might like to meet Gina the Wonder Dog. She’s the store Welcome Ambassador. Gina is a Corgi/rat terrier mix we adopted from the local no-kill animal shelter about six years ago. When she hears the bells on the front door jingle she goes out front to sniff everyone’s feet (she’s built low to the ground) and cadge a bit of petting. Then, since she’s about 12 years old now, it’s back to the office to snooze some more.

Last week my local dermatologist came in with her family to stock up on UGG boots and UGG slippers. She had sold her medi-spa and has the opportunity to move to Switzerland while her husband works over there. Knowing that it gets cold in Switzerland, they all came in to buy UGG footwear. For herself she bought a pair of Ultra Tall UGG boots in chestnut and a pair of black Gaviotas.  Her husband got the men’s UGG Classic Short boots in chestnut and a pair of Scuff Romeo UGG slippers.  For her UGG boots, the older teenage daughter chose the UGG Knightsbridge tall boots with the zipper and the young teen daughter bought UGG Sunburst Tall boots and then each got a new pair of the Coquette UGG slippers.  With everyone happy with their warm UGG boots and UGG slippers, we know they’ll enjoy their family adventure in Switzerland and will have warm, comfortable footwear while doing it.

UGG Slippers-Exceptional Comfort

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

This August I had all of my family out visiting from Florida.  Sandpoint, Idaho summers provide a welcome relief from the humidity of Florida and they all had a great time swimming in the lake.  In the evening, my 82 year old mom and my two sisters all put on their cozy sheepskin UGG slippers. In fact, my mom wore her UGG Cozy II women’s UGG slippers around the house the entire time she was here.  Not because the weather was cold but because of the comfort.  She loves them so much she brought them all the way from Florida with her. If you ask her about her UGG slippers she’ll happily tell you in her charming Southern dialect, “Oh, honey, these are the most com-fert-a-bel things Awf put on ma feet in yeee-urs.”

My 82 year old father-in-law also wore his Byron men’s UGG slippers. Actually, he lives in those slippers and requires a new pair each year. They have a rubber sole and look like a driving moccasin so when he’s out and about they don’t exactly look like house slippers.  Come to think of it, because I never see him in any other shoe I’m beginning to think his UGGs are the only shoes he owns.

Which brings up the point that UGG slippers aren’t just for winter but are wearable all year long.  They are always great for birthday gifts, graduation, and “just because”.   So remember that when you need to get a gift for someone, you don’t have to wait for Christmas to give a great pair of UGG slippers.
