All About the Holiday Sparkle at UGG Australia

I made a personal discovery at the recent UGG Australia Holiday preview: I'm 100% pro-sparkly slippers if they look like this:

I was gifted these slippers in red and I ADORE them. Seriously, they look like Christmas wrapping paper and now I can't do without them in my life. Yes, I've had a sparkly slipper epiphany, thank-you, UGG Australia.

Also, there are all of these other fabulous things for the holidays and beyond:

Two of my other favorite UGG items: the sparkle clutch and the really fabulous booties, above. More to love below...

In case you're wondering, I think I also had a little candy-cane, sparkle UGG boot ephiphany, too. 

You can find the traditional UGG boot on 34th Street at Journeys, and the Collection items at UGG boutiques, one of which is opening this week in Meatpacking. Happy, sparkly holiday time is really here, isn't it?

Fall '12 UGG Australia: My Miss and the Many Hits

What was I most sad about missing when I forgot to schedule the UGG Australia Fall '12 Preview into my calendar? It wasn't the popcorn, the male models on pedestals, or Alec Baldwin (and I really love popcorn).

 Nope, it was seeing the gorgeous UGG Collection boots and shoes. Autumn is my season, and every fall preview I want to spend the coming season in UGG Collection.

But this preview, I particularly missed out on seeing the regular UGG Australia styles up close and personal. They have truly outdone themselves.

So much good stuff.

You can find classic UGG shoes and boots at Journey's on 34th Street. For the Collection, travel to the gorgeous UGG Australia boutique on Madison Avenue. Below are a few more favorite picks of standout styles and accessories for fall.

Steal these from the guys.

All of the above: Want.

UGG Australia always excels at gloves and scarves.

Spring Loveliness at UGG Australia

Last week UGG Australia showed off their spring collection at the Gramercy Park Hotel, where we sipped wine and gawked at gorgeous shoes. I took along a born-and-raised California girl who grew up surfing and wearing classic UGG boots, and she was impressed upon seeing the UGG Collection shoes for the first time. She's got her eye on the snake skin pumps. This UGG girl is going full circle, and who can blame her?

Gorgeous. Personally, I'm in dire need of the woven, open-toe booties.

But lace insets are hot for spring, too.

You won't find the Collection shoes on 34th Street, but you can find classic UGGs and spring shoes at Journey's in Herald Center.
