Ugggggggg

I don't know about you, but I can't even look at my Ugg boots anymore. This past week we had a brief moment of almost cold. As I perused my limited choices of warm footwear, my eyes landed on the aforementioned Uggs. There they sat, right up front, practically waving their hands in the air, saying "Pick me! Pick me!"

"Ugh", I thought to myself. Instead I put on a pair of cashmere socks and my blue Vans. But that's not going to cut it soon. In a matter of days, we are going to need warm boots. Boots to keep out the damp and the cold. But I want a pair that look cute too! Here are some ideas, in case you feel the same way I do.

1) J.Crew's Tahoe Boots- These giant shearling slippers are demented in the best way possible. A strap here, a bit of stray shearling poking out there- they would look right at home on Annie Hall, stomping around in a Wisconsin winter. They are so odd, with their weird low leather sole, and brass details, that they are chic, and I love J.Crew for them.

2) LL Bean Boots, 10" Shearling lined- These are not for the faint of heart. You can almost hear them say "Ma'am, you're feet will be warm! And they will be dry!" I can see them paired with a little Chloe dress. You will be the belle of the ball. Think early '90's Kate Moss, only instead of Doc Martens, hunting boots! (PS.- If you have any fear, know that I first saw these on a good friend of mine who is an amazing stylist.)

3) Burberry Shearling Cuff Boot- I say, bit of a cold snap this morning, eh? Glad I popped over and got these boots. Wouldn't want to miss out on any hunts. Quite warm, dear chap, quite warm. Good thing too, they keep these bloody old country estates so blasted cold. Think I'll go have a spot of tea, maybe a crumpet or two. Cheerio! Feet still warm!
