Lately I’ve been wearing heels so much that my feet have really yearned for some comfortable haven. And after rummaging through my brain…I realised that no matter how comfortable my Lanvins, Marc Jacobs or Chloe pumps are, they still start to hurt after standing on my feet all day. And who can rival Ugg boots in comfortability? As much as I love fashion, I am a slave to comfort, after all ‘Luxury is comfort’.
Plus, after seeing Sienna in her Uggs, who could resist?
Before I go on to tell you how wonderful Whooga Ugg boots from the UK are, I have a few funny stories to share about Ugg boots.
1. My father-in-law was apparently a champion of ugg boots. According to my mother-in-law, Dad started the Ugg boot trend over 2 decades ago in Canada!!! He certainly is a creature of comfort
2. I met a good friend of mine through my Ugg boots. One day during my uni days, I can still rememebr clearly I was wearing a red jacket, a black pencil skirt and my Uggs. The outfit looked better than it sounds, at least it did to this stranger. She was one chic lady and she asked me about my boots. She had never seen a pair that rolled down at the knee. We became friends instantly.
3. Earlier this year my cousin came to visit Melbourne and wanted to buy a pair of Uggs. She ran out of time as she was busy sight-seeing so I ended up saying farewell to my beloved Uggs (it was so painful). Now someone has warm feet in Taiwan.
So now onto Whooga Boots: They are made from real sheep fleece with sheep’s natural skin oil lanolin to provide extra nourishment to our feet. So these Uggs are really soft and warm and promote better circulation. I always have cold extremities so this was a big bonus for me!

Ok, this is the last post about the Bloggerversary party. I promise. I shall reveal the answers to those questions at the end of post…don’t scroll down yet!
Here’s Theodore, our favourite accessory, being cuddled by Auntie Jade.
Sitting handsome.
Another candid shot, of me about to devour the red velvet cupcakes.
You may notice that I look different here…I’m wearing Roger’s glasses. Roger joked that he should start a photo blog for all the people who try his glasses on. I think I’ll do my bit by starting it here on my blog and I shall continue the tradition every time I see him and try his glasses on. They’re so tempting!
Many people commented on my husband’s icecream tie, so here it is in detail. 3 scoops, no wonder he’s smiling.
Now are the words you’ve been waiting for! The answers to the Bloggerversary Quiz!
1. 3.1 is the age (31) Phillip Lim started his eponymous label.
2. The late Isabella Blow was the late Alexander McQueen’s muse. You would have recognized her with her fantastical hats.
3. The Miller sisters Sienna and Savanah are the designers of Twenty8Twelve.
4. The beautiful Diane Kruger was a ballet dancer and a model.
5. The Felder sisters are German!
How did you go? Thank you for reading. I hope you’ve enjoyed reading these 3 posts as much as I’ve enjoyed making them. Thanks for all your support, love and time for reading and following my blog.
Plenty of love, lick and lollipops,

Recently I learnt a new word ‘peplum’. A peplum is the short over-skirt or ruffle attached at the waistline of a jacket, blouse, or dress. In my mind, it is synonymous with the sexy secretary look. Take a look at a couple of examples demonstrated below:
Rebecca Romjin-Stamos for Bebe. Belted Peplum Patent Leather Jacket Jet black shine.
Here’s Sienna in a coat with a peplum and a girl with a peplum made from gorgeous drapery.
Here are some pretty strapless minidresses with peplums- they add really interesting details. So frivolous!
Of course, Miuccia never misses any trend. In fact, she reworks the classic peplum in her Prada lace series. They were gorgeous dresses but what’s with the sheerness of the skirts?
