A misleading faux pa women think is a big no-no is to wear white.? I don’t agree with this but then again cannot remember the last time I wore white to a wedding.? I think this is an old fashioned “rule” that is meant to be broken, I would say as long as you don’t show up in a floor length, white beaded gown you should be good to go–this is probably going to garner some unwanted attention.?

WARNING: UGG boot shopping without any knowledge of UGG lore can be incredibly dangerous. You simply can?t run out to the nearest department store with only a hope and a prayer. Those who haphazardly take up the art of UGG boot shopping are quickly disappointed when they get home and realize they?ve been tricked into buying fakes.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I?m back on the subject of UGG boots again this week. Quite a few people I know were thrilled to death to find a pair of comfy UGGs under the Christmas tree this past week and I?m happy to welcome them on to the bandwagon. Others, however, were simply jealous and immediately began hunting for the best bargains around so that they could run out and buy their own.

Here are a few things to look out for as you browse your nearest UGG retail store in search of post-holiday discounts:

Fakes? Yes! Fake UGG boots do exist. They look like UGGs (sometimes they?re even uglier). They feel like UGGs (the beauty of synthetic materials and mass production). They?re even priced like real UGGS. Wait ? that?s not fair!

Next week we?ll move onto something new and exciting. Until then,classic tall ugg boots, enjoy the rest of your holiday celebrations and have a great time ringing in the New Year!

Are the boots cheap or expensive? As much as we?d like to find UGG boots for under $100, it?s just not going to happen. If you?re getting ready to pay $12, $20, or $50 for a pair of UGGs you need to think again. They?re probably not real. For online shoppers, are your UGGs listed as ?sheepskin boots? or merely ?sheepskin lined?? If they?re only ?lined? then the wool inside will probably be fake, meaning it won?t be thermal, keep your feet warm, or keep the boots from stinking after a few weeks of wear. Do the boots have an authentic ?UGG Australia? label on the back of each heel? If not, they?re not real UGG brand boots.

There are a few other things to consider, but these are the most important. I?d hate to see you run out and waste all of your holiday cash on a pair of boots that aren?t what you thought they would be. Every good girl deserves a pair of UGG boots ? it?s just nicer to know that they?re actually REAL!

I don’t believe in making New Year’s resolutions. I believe in making lifetime resolutions, being on a journey of continuous self improvement and achievement. A journey of learning to love myself more, like myself more and give more of myself to others. Working towards a more content, peaceful, whole, happier me. So far, so good. Hence the title. Let 2009 be a year of loving yourself more, liking yourself more. Stop trying to emulate the emaciated airbrushed illusions on the magazine covers and start emulating yourself. There is only one of you and you’re wonderful.

Keeping to the cozy theme, there is nothing I like more than wearing a pair of cozy bed socks and snuggling up in bed

After the Christmas binge, looking in the mirror to assess the damage, may be an even more painful exercise this year. So dear reader, it’s time to lighten up. So what if you gained a few pounds over Christmas, but didn’t you have fun gaining it? Wasn’t the turkey succulent? The frosting on the cake oh so sweet? Well then! We’ve all had to face a bit of gloom in the past year, why add to it?? Relax.

This global economic crisis has pervaded our consciousness. Even to the extent of how we see ourselves.? For those of us who possess the malady of social short sightedness – those who equate their financial status with who they are, who measure their self worth in dollars and cents, pounds and pennies, shares and bonds? – this is the worst of times.

These soft and mushy scarves from The Spirit if The Andes are just the trick! The Ana Scarf ($27.74) pictured below is made from pure Alpaca, available in a variety of delicate, rainbow shades.

2009 is nigh underway. This crossover time is when we all privately carry out a mental inventory of the highs and lows of the past year. For many of us 2008 presented us with more lows than expected and far less highs. The spector of the Credit Crunch, crunched it’s way into our lives, our homes, our families, our joy.

These wool bed socks, $26.28 from The Wool Company are ideal.
