OK, Christmas is San Diego was GORGEOUS, but even we have our cold days. The perfect footwear for that is a pair of good ol' Uggs. I remember getting my first pair in the mid-90s and lugging them back to New York for a visit. The confused looks I got told me that the look hadn't gotten far from the West Coast yet. But NOW! Everyone loves'em.
The look is classic Australian/Californian Apres-Surf. Here's a bit from their website:
The UGG® Australia story began in 1978, when Brian Smith,
a young surfer from Australia, took a trip to the United States with a bag full
of sheepskin boots. After finding a new home amongst California surfers, the Australia brand began to take shape...In 2003, the
UGG® was named Footwear News' "Brand of the
Year" and was responsible for the creation of an entirely new category of
footwear. From that moment on, sheepskin footwear would be seen on the runways
in Milan, Paris and New York; and it all began on the beach in Australia.
Of course, Urban Girl has a selection in the store and on-line. Click on the picture below to see our collection. (By the way - the Moss style that the model is wearing is now 30% off!)
