The Ugg-ly Truth

IMG_4801 IMG_4834IMG_4883

Just so you don't start thinking I have deserted my blog :p …Here is the ugly “unfashionable” truth … I have not been in so much of a “dressing up” mood as of late .. probably due to my recent extra hectic schedule and lack of general energy when it comes to getting up earlier on the weekends – I honestly needed a week to refuel … sit back … and lounge about in my jammies reading a good book, some new magazines I recently subscribed to like Money sense and Maclean’s, and have a little fun at J’s soccer game playing photographer (he’s the goalie in lime green – awesome colour).

I am sorry I have been on a little bit of a hiatus but that's just because I have not been wearing anything wonderfully interesting this week, been cram packed with other things to do before I even get the chance to meet up with J before the sun goes down, dress up to out somewhere nice and take some photos… it simply has not been in the cards but I hope to get back into the swing of things and out of my lazy attire very soon – I promise :p … I just want a little peace in my wilfred free sweats and Uggs – YES I said it! MY UGGS! These have been stored away in the closet – they were purchased years ago discounted when I worked in retail and I decided to show them some love … I don't wear these to be fashionable – I wear them because my feet seem to love them on lazy days like today when I am out for literally an hour, just lounging watching a game .. and to be honest, its really because I like the feeling of not having to wear socks and having my feet wrapped in soft goodness all the while staying warm (except today because I needed to wear socks for other reasons...lol) … It is a very difficult feat to overcome when you are as cold blooded as I am! So I have decided to say F* what the fashion critics say, bring on the heat (because I know I am going to get grilled for this :p ) and proudly admitting I love my Uggs because my feet love them – no other explanation needed and its simple as that :)

I am working on my foundation routine/post as I had a few requests to do a proper review of the Maybelline Superstay foundation that I have been loving and comparing to my Estee Lauder double wear foundation … so I hope to have that up soon as well as a few new vintage finds which I will be sharing with you guys… AND my Halloween costume … J and I are going as a celebrity couple ..still working on the costume… we have a house party coming up this weekend….Can you guess who we are dressing up as?

Be right back – love you guys!

Don't mind any of the fashion critics, those "Uggs" are anything but... =)
Word up, that is a pretty good color (the lime green I mean)

Really like the second pic btw...

I'm the same way about my Uggs -- I know that they're hardly chic, but they're SO WARM when I have to trek to class!

We all need to recharge our batteries so don't feel apologetic for not posting on your blog... we're human.

re Halloween - are you going as characters from Clue the Mystery? That was the 1st thing that came to mind when I read "house party".

They are so warm and comfy!!! No excuse necessary... everyone needs those comfortable lazy days (or weeks lol)

Have you tried the new rimmel lasting finish foundation? I don't know how it compares to Estee Lauder, but I have been loving it lately!

Nothing is as comfortable as a pair of Uggs. I wish all boots felt like they do!

Eternally yours,

Hang in there with the busyness!! And stay comfy :)

I know uggs are not the prettiest thing in the world but one thing I can say for sure. The feet seems to love them, I do not think my feet particularly care how ravishing they look in a pair of killer high heels when those said high heels literally kill them!!

You go girl.
