Where: Jimmy Choo at the Bravern
What: You either love them or hate them. There’s no real in-between. And there’s certainly nothing sexy about them, which is why it takes a minute to ingest the news that Jimmy Choo’s Tamara Mellon took on a capsule collection of Ugg Boots for fall/winter.
‘Other than Jimmy Choo, UGG Australia is really the only other footwear I have in my wardrobe,’ says Mellon. ‘I wear it at home in New York, on holiday in Malibu, and as an essential travel accessory. We are delighted to have created a special capsule that captures the best of both brands — the legendary comfort of UGG with the spirit of Jimmy Choo.’
And that’s where it begins to make sense, huh? If you spent all day in these# you might be looking for something like this by dinnertime. And hey, the high heelers have teamed up with Hunter, too. Kinda makes you wonder what’s next … Doc Marten? Timberland? Crocs??
Jimmy Choo’s Ugg collection includes a charcoal diamond Donegal cable knit, cream and black zebra prints, natural leopard prints, printed metallics, and studs, fringe, gold grommets, rivets, and other blingy details. They go for between $595 and $795.
The companies are only distributing them within their own stores, and they’re expecting such a great response that they’ve sent the boots out on a world tour so that customers can pre-order them. Can you feel it? The line is in your area as we speak, but only for a limited time. You can try the collection out now in Bellevue, and order and pay for them — they’ll be on your feet after October 21.
When: Now through Monday September 27

Really, $595-$795?
If I wanted studded UGG’s, I’d first start by going to Costco, purchasing Fugg’s for $19 then use my hot glue gun to bedazzle’ them (and that’s only if I really were interested in them)
On the other hand, they are just so sad.
Just really sad.
I’m all for healthy discourse, and yes, I asked for your opinion, but I dunno. That feels a tad harsh. It’s good to keep in mind that one woman’s fugly is another woman’s fantastic. I don’t want any Ugg wearers to get their feelings hurt. On the other hand, I admire your DIY spirit.
Uggs were bad enough without the studs. Ick!
why are they so bad? they are just boots that are….. okay a little overpriced but style wise they are very nice and super soft.
dont diss the UGG’S diss the FUGG’S!
