unfortunate footwear

Thank god part of my working day involves perusing twitter feeds...how else would I have learned about the upcoming footwear collaboration of my nightmares so quickly. This fall Jimmy Choo and UGG are joining forces for what is sure to be a disastrous capsule collection. The resulting lovechild from this horrific union will be "based on the construction of Ugg's sheepskin boots with design details that embody the spirit of the Jimmy Choo brand" according to Choo founder Tara Mellon. Worse than that - the boots are apparently retailing at $595 to $795. Yikes.

So how long do you think we have until a god-awful hybrid name like "Chuggs" enters our everyday fashion vernacular?

  2. i'm gonna stick to my hating on this one...there is not one redeeming quality about blending stilettos and spikes with furry winter boots
