I am a proud member of the UGG Nation

Yes they are some of the ugliest boots around. Yes they are part of the uniform of American teenage girls everywhere. But these puppies were so incredibly warm and comfortable that I had to break down and get some last winter. And with this stint of Arctic weather we are having on the East Coast they are my hottest accessory of choice right now.

However, I do still a twinge of silliness when I see teenage girls rocking the same look as me. How old am I again?
