Uggs

Last weekend's pajama party was overflowing with popcorn and fun. The girls and I had a blast sipping champagne as we watched teen flicks from the '80s and reminisced about the good old days. I know it sounds corny, but we even played truth or dare. Girls just wanna have fun.

I started you off with these UGG Australia Sheepskin Flip-Flops ($70) because I couldn't resist the decadently soft texture.

Let's see what you all came up with!

Look # 1, created by gabitaitalia, is pink all over. Love those polka-dot jammies!

Expanding on the success of their shoe collection, UGG Australia has just enlisted Los Angeles-based Rozae Nichols to design an outwear collection. Rozae is very excited about the collaboration stating, "I was very attracted to the project. I like leathers and shearlings. They're very interesting materials to work with."

The humble yet luxurious collection will include shearling jackets, reversible vests, and suede bombers intertwining Nichols' design aesthetic along with UGG's classic styling. Sounds cozy.

While you absolutely adore your lil one, sometimes it's nice to get out and enjoy a movie or just plain old adult company. Thanks to babysitters, it's possible. Show them how much you appreciate their help by giving them a gift this holiday season.

Since they help you get out to see a flick every now and then, return the favor and buy them a movie gift card. You can buy them for $5 and up.

For the babysitter who is more like a family member, personalize a photo album of your family for her from Snapfish.com. The small paper ones start at $5 but if you want to spring for a leather or velvet bound book, it will cost you about $50.

And if you are the type of person who could not live without your sitter, don't scoot by on a $5 gift. Put together a gift basket of things to pamper her. A gift certificate to a local salon ($50), a plush Gap robe ($50) and a pair of fuzzy warm UGG slippers ($75) should do the trick.

And for a nice and heartfelt touch, have your lil ones make a sweet homemade card telling her just how much she means to them, too.

Hailing from Denmark, Snowjoggers are quickly giving the Ugg a run for its money — I had this candidate on my radar last February!

The moonboot-cum-athletic shoe has been spotted toasting the toes of Lindsay Lohan, Victoria Beckham, Liv Tyler, and Sienna Miller — quite the warm Hollywood welcome. They come in a rainbow of colors, from pink to white to multi-colored, and retail for $80-$100. Plus, their profits are given back to the Bangladeshi women who make them. But the real question is: Would you be caught wearing them?

Lovable mommy Brooke Shields and husband Chris Henchy were out with their lil ones in the Big Apple Sunday morning. The parents kept it real and showed their girls that they're not above taking the underground.

And, the Shields-Henchy girls were lovin' the violet hues. Both Rowan, 4-1/2-years-old and Grier, 19-months-old were bundled up in variations of purple. Rowan donned a down Patagonia ($125) jacket and a Babe in the Woods hat by La Folie ($40). Grier kept her feet nice and toasty in her Ugg boots ($90).

Happy rails to them.

I'm over them (for the record, I was never under them). Molly is over them. There are cuter and newer alternatives to the chunky, casual UGG - I swear it! Go ahead, be a trendsetter. Check these out, and please please please try to break the mold. For me? Also, these alternate UGGs are less expensive and, in my opinion, not as UGG(ly) as the played out boot.

Rubber Duck Snowjoggers in Olive, $80. These come in many more colors and are old school cool. And, did I mention Sienna Miller and Katherine Heigl sport these?
