praying to the whooga fairies.

here's the deal....on the cod we live in flip flops. it's just the way it is. but sometimes there is snow, and it gets cold & wet, so we need to wear something else. what is the cold weather version of flip flops? uggs.

now, i fought this trend as long as possible, and i even eased into it. i started with a pair of slippers, then clogs, then actual snow boots, then finally, i succumbed to the warm cozy amazingness that is the classic tall. i can't fight the walking on clouds, warm wonderfulness, i just can't.



so here is the deal- i have been eying these whooga's- they look amazing, the company seems completely rad (they give pairs like every month to a lucky newsletter subscriber!!) and the price is fab (i even have an email with a link to get them even less!). see, i have a pair of chestnut uggs, but i really need black. i mean, i may be all about the comfort, but i still like to match. so anywho, i was drooling over the black whooga's just today, pondering what parts of my body i could sell to get the money for them, when what to my wondering eyes did appear? a giveaway. of whoogas. blessing my reader with it's presence mere hours after putting the black pair in my shopping cart and then sadly closing the page before entering my credit card info. the whooga fairies have blessed me! and the office stylist. her too.

let us all please keep our little fingers crossed that the stars align for me and i win this. it is important stuff, like keeping my toes warm.

Love me some Uggs! It always cracks me up to hear about Uggs being a "trend"...I have been wearing these since like, the early 90s I believe??? LOL. I hope you win the giveaway!! Good luck! :)

You better win this shit. And I love that Jaime reads your blog. She is my friend here in real life, if you can believe I have any of those.

It's true, I bet I even have a picture of her in jr high wearing her uggs. And Billabong sweatshirt.

I fought it, too. And college is the WORST time to wear Uggs. But when it's 30 degrees outside and your best friend's mom mails you a box of Costco knock-off boots made from bunnies and dreams, YOU SAY "THANK YOU!"

Please don't turn into one of those girls who wears uggs/woogas with skirts and dresses. Thanks.

ALSO THANKS for the congratulations! We are both engaged! Survival of the fittest, I say. All the good ones get married up.

I just saw the title of this post and wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it.

I don't know what the flip a "whooga fairy" is, but I'm guessing they're very powerful and live in the farts of baby bunnies.

I am nominating you for the "One Lovely Blog" award (you've prob. already won it, but disregard the previous wins and accept it from ME).

Besides, I think we both know that you need more shit (buttons) on your sidebar. :D

It is at the bottom of my most recent post.
