Ask BB: To Ugg or Not to Ugg?

BB loves her Uggs


I have a question: To Ugg or not to Ugg? I spend most of my day in Toronto and it's been extremely cold lately. My feet are cold and wet...and I HATE it! I'm deciding whether or not I should purchase Uggs. I think they're pretty ugly, but is the warmth worth it? How are they against snow and slush? Stains? Can you give me the pros and cons about your experience with Uggs? —Rd.

Aside from Inauguration fever, the only things keeping me warm and toasty today are my beloved Uggs. A couple years ago when Oprah did one of her Favorite Things shows, she generously gifted her employees with a few of the top items on her list, including the Ugg Uptown boots you see me wearing in the photos above. I never would have purchased them on my own, but since they were free, I gave them a chance—and I have never looked back.
