I did it. A few days ago. I bought my first pair of UGGs. I have never actually wanted to own a pair. Not being a fan, especially after seeing all those Hollywood types wear them in magazines. I mean seriously, shearling boots for Californian weather. But in preparation for my visit to Winnipeg tomorrow I figured I needed proper winter boots, comfortable ones, to keep my little toes intact without looking like I am walking apres ski. I must say that after wearing them for the past few days I can safely say that they are ugly as hell, but by golly are they comfortable. I never want to take them off. Like wearing bedroom slippers, but outside. I want to wear them with shorts in the Summer, they are that comfortable.
I must add that I bought them at a children's shoe store. The kiddie versions are identical to theirm Mummy versions, but 100 dollars cheaper (well, in Canadian dollars at least). I love a bargain.

Do you ever wonder where you are, why you are, what you should be doing, and why there is absolutely no mention of dinosaurs in any of the testaments?

what an excellent idea re boots from kiddies'section..i am a size 5.5 US and its a bummer to find grownup shoes...hope they dont all have little pink flowers and butterflies on them footwear tho!
have a good thanksgiving in Winnipeg! (canadian thanksgiving was a couple of weeks ago, wasnt it? Are you heading there for xmas already?)
Thats my size too so I get my trainers and snow boots at kiddie section. It depends on where you go but loads of shops carry mini version of adult brands like Camper and Uggs, Sorell etc. Going back to hang out with Dougs Dad who is recovering from shoulder replacement surgery. Will be there for 10 days, come back here then off again in a few weeks for Chistmas there. Canadian thanksgiving in early October. They have to do it earlier here cause the Canucks use that time to close up their cottages.
I LOVE my UGGS. Been wearing those ugly things for years. But like you said, they are damn practical and versatile - you can wear them with skirts, jeans - summer (pink ones are delish summer ones) and winter. Believe it or not, they keep your feet cool in the summer (with short dresses and mini-skirts and warm in winter.
Hurrah. It is a revelation isn't it?
*I am going to get my au pair to bring me a pair of them from Aussie. They are cheap there!*
Enjoy Winnipeg (although I know I shouldn't say that especially for the reasons you are going....)
LOVE.
p.s I want to get Milla a pair of them UGGS next winter (hi hi)
