One UGG Boot Done Three Ways

Sunday, November 14th, 2010

Did you know that the UGG Metropolitan Collection has one style of UGG boots done in three different heights? This was news to me when I noticed it but it certainly made sense. The UGGs in this collection are the UGG Roslynn boots, UGG Kenly boots and UGG Greenfield boots. These boots feature UGG’s trademarked Silkee Suede uppers that are already Scotchgard treated for you. That’s like adding some some winterizing to your boots. BUT – you should still spray your suede boots with UGG Water and Stain Repellent regularly.  The three UGG boots I’m highlighting here are simple, sleek and sophisticated flat boots with full sheepskin linings. There’s an inside zipper for easy on and off and they come in four good colors: black, chestnut, espresso and gray.  The gray is one of the prettiest gray colors that UGG has done in a long time.  That is, if you don’t count the terrific charcoal grays in the Cardy line.

UGG Roslynn is the short boot in this collection.  It’s shaft height is 8″. Perfect under pants.

The mid height boot  is called the UGG Kenly.  It’s shaft height is about 12 1/2″. Good with pants and skirts.

The last and tallest boot in the UGG Metropolitan collection is the UGG Greenfield.  It measures 14 1/4″ tall. Great with skirts and leggings.

With the Metropolitan Collection, UGG® continually strives to create fun fashion forward styles each season. The results of this dedication to excellence are showcased in this collection. This collection features a wide range of styles that hone in on fresh, young, fashion forward designs. The boots of this collection emulate true UGG® design and craftsmanship while maintaining casual elegance.

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 !

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!

Tiz The Season for Fake UGGs

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

Yes, it’s that time of the year again: FUGG Season. Fake UGGs. Ebay and Google are full of fake UGG boots and slippers. The unfortunate reality is that there are, for a lot of the luxury brands, counterfeit products.

Last year a woman came in to Snow River just before Christmas. She had bought a pair of UGG Boots, Classic Short in black.  She thought they “didn’t look right.”  And she was right.  They were poor imitations.  The leather was cowhide instead of sheepskin and the lining felt like fake instead of soft sheepskin fleece.  Even the box wasn’t correct.  She had been desperate for a pair of black Classic Short UGG Boots for her daughter’s Christmas present and couldn’t find them in the size needed at any dealer.  So she paid $150 for a pair off eBay. And they were fake. She lost money she couldn’t afford to lose and her daughter got a pair of subpar boots with no warranty.

If you are looking for UGG boots and UGG slippers on-line make sure that you shop at an authorized dealer like Snow River.  We’ve been in the business of selling genuine UGGs since 1985 and trust us, we know the product!

Google is now working with UGG Australia to eliminate them from their search pages, but, like cockroaches, they multiply quickly.  If you look at some of these sites you’ll see that they’re written in Chinglish and are full of errors.  Also, there will either be no physical address or no U.S. number.

If you are in the market for UGG Boots, there are a few things you can do to make sure they are real and not fake. Take a look at the website address, does the domain name include the word “UGG” or does it contain the style name in the domain address, for example, “Dakota”, if so, there is a good possibility they are counterfeit.

Something you should also know, UGG Australia does NOT authorize dealer sales on eBay, trade boards or Amazon.com. If you purchase on any of those sites you do not get the warranty nor will UGG Australia assist with trying to resolve disputes including issues with PayPal refund requests.

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.
