Miscellany Monday

[ONE] a reprieve from the cold... 


Nashville enjoyed 60degree weather this weekend!  Although Friday afternoon wasn't quite as warm yet, David and I took a bike ride for the first time since before Thanksgiving.  It was great!  A quick trip down to the duck pond (where we made many feathery friends with our stale bagels) and then we headed over to the local coffee shop for a decaf cappacinno.  A great afternoon date!  Loved it and am now even so much more ready for SPRING!!  (by the way, david "pimped my ride" for Christmas, I'll have to share soon!)

[TWO] WHOOGA..
{whooga classics in chestnut}
For the past few weeks my feet have been so super happy and cozy.  The great folks over at Whooga Boots in Austrailia shipped me over my very first pair of ugg boots.  I know you might be thinking "what's Whooga? Those aren't real uggs," but these alternatives to the Ugg brand are less expensive, just as stylish, and just as good of quality (if not better) than the ones you'll find at your department store.  Whoogas are not  like the alternatives you might be thinking off - they are not made of synthetic fibers, but are made of real australian merino sheepskin both inside and out (read more about them here).  Each pair is hand made!  I love my Whoogas.  I don't regret at all not having Ugg brand.  Slip Whoogas on without socks - they're warm, comfortable, and I seriously wear them with everything.  If anyone is in the market for ugg boots, please do yourself a favor and check out Whooga brand first!  (buyer tip: they are in european sizes so make sure to measure carefully before ordering and remember that you won't be wearing socks.  if you are normally between sizes, I suggest going with the smaller of the two. also take some time to read their care page.)

[THREE] a super huge thank you to the super sweet gals over at Bon Bon Rose Rose Girls for featuring me as their handpicked rosebud of the week!

  5. You were a rosebud? So awesome! I am waiting to be picked because they are always so kind to their rosebuds. And those boots do look comfy and warm. I like that they are cheaper than Uggs.

  13. Wonderful Micellany Monday posting.
    I think I might need a pair of whooga's. I have a couple pair of bear paws, but I don't think they look at warm as whoogas!

    Thanks for mentioning my blog last week. I love following yours!

  16. So glad you posted about Whooga. I had/have a pair of UGGS that were just not worth all of the money that I spent on them, and they were made in China for a fraction of the price, so I sought out other sheepskin boots. I ended up purchasing a pair of KiwiSheepskins, but I definitely will be checking out Whooga, because in Michigan you cannot have enough pair of warm boots.
