Streetlevel: New Blood on 5th Avenue
In the old Beacon’s Closet, which moved down the street, and Ugg shop has opened up, just in time for the cold spell. And down the street from Ugg is a new women’s clothing store called Celine. Score two for 5th Avenue. More on Gowanus Lounge. GMAP

I walked by the UGG store in Soho last Saturday and there was a huge long line out in front of people waiting to get in. This was at like 3:00 in the afternoon. I don’t know if they were giving away free merchandise or what.
“How many pair of these expensive boots do you have??”
I have precisely ONE pair DIBS.
Benson is a cheap son-of-a-gun, why do you think we share the maid*?!
*Please note: I have ZERO domestic assistance unless you count Better Half picking up the vacuum cleaner here and there.
Exactly, Nokilissa, the “Celine” sign over those dowdy, clearly non-designer clothes was cracking me up. How can this store owner be so clueless as to not know he/she can’t use a huge international designer name for their store?
As for Uggs, hearing how warm they are makes me understand why people buy them. But now it’s grossing me out that celebrities wear them in 80 degree weather in CA. With their feet all sweaty. My problem is they are the most unflattering boots for a woman’s leg anyone could possibly make. They make everybody’s legs look short and fat no matter how you’re really built.
Emu’s. They’re uggs knock offs. (With real wool.) I got mine for $50 on sale on amazon. I love my amazon prime.
Although, I have to admit, my toddler’s emus look nicer than mine. Not a ton of arch support. But yeah, I can wear them without socks, and because they were so cheap, I have no probs with putting them in the washing machine.
I also love my washing machine… but that is a story for another time.
A Guest…(I’ve had mine for about 5 years now and need replacing)…..true, there are more fashion forward shearling boots our there now. But, during these economic times and at $400-500 for them. I’m going to wear my snuggly ‘ugg’lys and prance around like a teenager…maybe, I should have gotten a pink pair.
If you know of an inexpensive pair, do share.
Waterproof, with shearling (real, not the faux fuzzy crap)all the way down to the toe…and a cute wedge heel.
You cold-footed people all realize there are more fashion-forward shearling boots out there. But if you enjoy looking like a high school student from Darien, CT – enjoy!!
I have the ‘out’ pair…it’s about the warmth for me.
If I’m not wearing them in the winter and need to wear other boots, I’ll wear cashmere socks…those also do wonders…Just found socks that are 81% cashmere….my feet are so happy!
When I decide to replace my uggs, I’ll hand them down to ‘Benson’s’ help. Poor woman, what she has to clean up!
“I have some” cobblehiller??? How many pair of these expensive boots do you have?? Could you perhaps donate some this year in the Marines’ “Uggs for Domestic Help” campaign. Benson won’t even buy his maid a pair of shoes.
Not all UGGs look like the suede kind with the bits of fur sticking out.
They have lots of other kinds – I have some that don’t look at all like the “out” kind.
