Q: EMU or UGGS? (these are brands of boots btw. they're apparently fashionably chunky and makes the average person look bottom heavy.)

it snowed all last night and all day today.
my weatherlady informed me:
"weather information brought to you by jo: tomorrow will be a very cold day. snow is expected. No open toes allowed ;)"

she mentions 'open toes' because there was this once we went out and i wore my open toe flats (purchased in bangkok), and it was a blisteringly cold ZERO degrees. unfortunately, i hadn't brought any saving grace; so i walked calgary's streets open-toed for over an hour. yes, you may shudder. (:

my beautiful brown suede shoes and i trudged through the 1 1/2 inches of snow, and ended up looking like this.
welcome to calgary transit. buses don't run on time, and trains are usually almost always delayed. bus drivers i've talked to say they try their best to make it on time especially in winter, because everyone knows that waiting out in the -30C cold is no fun.

i meet jenn for a late afternoon mad shopping rush; the malls close at 6pm, and it's coming 3.30pm. she wants to pick up a pair of boots, and was in need of a second opinion. and a deciding (and/or persuasive) vote between EMU or UGGS. yes, the tough call that most fashionistas do or don't do. EMU or UGGS. (find out what jenn chose.... at the end of this post. HAHA, iknowiknow! so ryan seacrest. i've always wanted to do this, as stupid as it may seem.)

RANDOM PICTURES:grey skies.
the last leaves of fall and a bus stop sign (in the far right of picture).

here's random thought: today, i bought a fortune cookie during dinner for 25cents. it reads:

last time i had a fortune cookie, it read:


if you think i have something to say about those fortune cookies, i don't. sorry. (: haha.




so. back to BOOTS.BOOTS.BOOTS.BOOOOOOTS! (: jenn bought herself a pair.



and so did i.

just like any other shopper, i tried on my boots once i got home. and agreed with myself that they were a good, beautiful, and practical buy. all C$130 of it.


as you can clearly see, i am loving my new BOOTS! (: i snapped about a dozen pictures, but i thought i'd save you and put only 2 up. i know, you can say it... they look so good on me... :P


have i mentioned how much i love my new boots yet? (:


and now, i would like to introduce to you, "valerie's evolution of the boot". seriously. hahhaa.

(from right) LEATHER boots, SPRING C$148. / BROWN SUEDE boots, SPRING C$138. / GREEN SUEDE with SHEEPSKIN lining, EMU C$130.
i don't have anything shorter than those, i'm still trying to find an ankle boot i could fall head over heels for. was this information you needed? no, then again, most information on this blog here is simply frivolous to the common reader!

with love.
A: Jenn chose UGGS. i chose EMU. and hellyeah, we both look ohsosexy in them.
