I Bought It: Ugg Clog Boots

Welp, it happened. I succumbed to clogs. Uh, and Uggs. In one fell swoop. I had time to kill before a hair appointment yesterday, so I wandered into a shoe store I'd never been in on Smith Street in Brooklyn. And, flush with fall fever, I purchased these clog boots:




UGG Lynnea clog boots in espresso suede, $180. I agonized over the color for a while, and determined that since I have no chocolate-colored boots, I should get them in chocolate, and plus, the brown were just speaking to me. I really freakin' love these boots!

But, I have a QUESTION: I now see they come in black leather, too, which they didn't have in the store.


Should I return them and get the black leather ones from Zappos? More versatile? More practical weather-wise? Or too ubiquitous a color in my closet? Weigh in, please!

Ugg Goes Metallic

As long as I can remember, I've been firmly against Uggs. Too trendy, too ugly, too expensive. (I happily paid a much more modest sum on eBay for one awesome pair of vintage fur-lined moonboots that served me well for a few years in New York's unkinder months.) And yet something about one (and just one) of the new metallic shades of the world's most ugsome boot is kind of calling me. Uggs in soft gold -- is this maybe, just maybe, okay?



Ugg Classic Short boot in soft gold, $150.

So what do you think: Does the soft shimmer impart a certain, dare I say it, sophistication to the odious Ugg, or is a pig in gold lip gloss still a pig? Do let me know, gentle readers.
