mommy shoes

During my first winter here in 2006, i've been wanting to buy a pair of "furry boots"...those i saw movie stars & celebrities wearing - Kate Moss, Jennifer Aniston, Faye Wong... Haha! It's an either u Love It OR Hate It kind of boots coz those who hated it called them 'Granny Boots'. But i like it! I think they look really comfortable, warm, casual yet stylish with jeans!

I searched high and low for them...but couldnt find it here. There were some lookalikes (not quite "imitations") but i think they dont look very good and the quality looks quite bad too. They're cheap though...maybe you can get them for about S$20 or lesser.

When i was about to give up all hope, we saw a pair of furry Fornarina boots and Elvis bought it for my birthday - not quite as close to what i really wanted...but it's good enough. The colour is a light blue. (It was either in pastel blue, pink or yellow if i remembered correctly) The colour was a tad difficult to match with clothes, but i still wore them very often coz it's really cold out there (till my toes can get numb). I also have a few very cool "rubber boots" (a bit similar to what the fish mongers wear!!!) but they wont keep your feet very warm.
My birthday 2 years ago...and my pressie! Matches with Joel's new boots huh. ;)


Then, when i finally realised that the brand that those stars are wearing is UGG, i was really happy! They're from Australia and actually you can find it all over in Europe too! But they're really expensive at about 200-300 Euros, and some models even costs more than that!!! The thing is...in European countries, even their summers can be quite cold...so they can wear boots on those cooler days. So the money spent is "more worth it"! Haha! This, i cant do in Shanghai coz the summers here can get as high as 40/43˚c (real feel). BUT, these UGG boots are supposed to be worn barefooted (!!) and it'll keep your feet at body temperature in cold & HOT (!!!) climates.

Now, i have 2 pairs of UGGs - a Classic Tall Sand and a Classic Tall Metallic Pewter! I hope winter comes sooner! ;)

O ya, i wanna wear my "Poodle"-in-Boots too! Actually, i can start wearing it now coz some people are already wearing their boots!
