Last week I took a hop, skip and a jump and found myself in one of my favourite Northern cities, Leeds - it has a Space NK and a Harvey Nichols, for a perusal of the new Fall collection from UGG. UGG are very much a marmite brand and whilst I despise marmite I absolutely adore UGG - I remember having my first classic short pair in beige when I was thirteen or fourteen and they never left my feet. Since then I've had many a dalliance with UGG and purchases include a chestnut pair, a black pair and a Jimmy Choo collab pair so I was just a little excited to visit the store. 

 With a glass of elderflower presse in hand I was shown the new collection, all while feeling a little concerned for my the safety of my credit card - surprisingly I actually showed some restrain, for now...

The Jena Boot in Java - easily my favourite of the day

 The inspiration behind the Fall collection is the streets of New Orleans - UGG have really immersed themselves in the New Orleans culture and have taken thought from the Mardi Gras parades to the brass bands that play deep into the night to the cobblestone streets and architecture of the city. Seeing the collection for the first time I love how UGG have given little twists to the heritage styles which are instantly recognisable whilst introducing real trend led footwear too - both equestrian and bohemian styles are prominent in the collection. So I know what you're thinking, which pair do I need in my life? Without a doubt It's got to be the Jena style in Java which not only give a cheeky nod to the military trend but still feature my beloved shearling. I was surprised to spot a menswear collection in store (who knew?) and was ahh-ing and swooning in equal measures, the boyf would be suitably impressed with UGGs stylish and cosy offering - true story.

 This September UGG turn 35 and are celebrating by going back to the beginning with vintage advertising and embroidering the number 78 (get it?) into a limited edition capsule collection - the offering is super cute, think red, navy and polka dot bows! If pink is more your bag then keep your eyes peeled - for the second year running UGG are doing their bit for charity teaming up with Haven for October's Breast Cancer Awareness month by designing a classic short boot and Ansley slipper - £10 from each pair sold will be donated to Haven. Warm feet and a fuzzy heart? Sign me up!
