4/5/07: Feeling Groovy

“As to matters of dress, I would recommend one never to be first in the fashion nor the last out of it.” - John Wesley

I need to take a Union Square run down to one of the many H and Ms in San Fran to hunt down this beauty. It reminds me of the clothes my mother would've worn in the 70s as a teenager. Perfect for a cool, breezy spring day at the beach or in Starbucks, huddled in the squishy booth in the corner, sipping a mocha frappucino. Oh, I need to get into the city and raid H and M of all the cutest, hippie threads I can find.

I'm also gushing over these Free People sandals. Would work perfect with a burnt orange hippie dress and big leather belt. I'm reminiscing my third grade trip to the Miwok village, where we spent the day frolicking among the tall grasses, learning about the Native American culture. These are the perfect mix between California hippie cool and Native American clothing. With all the bright colors, they'll fit perfectly with my jewelry and array of multi-colored belts.

12/26/06: Walking in a Winter Wonderland

"I know people say Ugg boots are out of fashion, but these boots are so cozy!" - Coleen Mcloughlin

Brrrrr. It's cold outside. Banana Republic is having a sale, and these drop dead beautiful winter white skinny cords are on sale for $44.99. They come in various whites and browns. I love how they paired them up with Uggs! Just like the above quote states, many people think Uggs are ugly and out of style. I personally think that $150 is too much to spend on the boots just because they are the original "Uggs." They aren't ugly - they're practical, and better for your feet than the other knockoff kinds like Bearpaw and Emu. Look at the ones above, with the flowers. They're by Ugg Australia, but $200. (cough up the money!)
They are sooooooooo cute. Maybe the plain old tan short Uggs aren't that appealing to fashionistas, but if you opt for a cuter pair that not many people have, you are being fashionable!

Later.....
I was just on the Free People website, and there are even more cute things that would look positively snazzy with Uggs (and any other shoe). This skirt is on sale and absolutely positively a-m-a-z-i-n-g! It reminds me of a little swedish girl's skirt, just shorter! Brown legwarmers or knee socks would add to the excitement of this charming ensemble - as well as a white embroidered blouse, leather vest, and chunky light pink or brown cable knit sweater. Winter is my favorite time of year - not only because you get to cozy up with a cup of cocoa, but because fashion wise - it's all about layering!
