Buyitright here will soon become the first authorized UK reseller of Whooga ugg boots. Whooga is quickly gaining recognition as an alternative ugg boot brand across Europe. Until Whooga began to establish a foothold few shoe savvy shoppers have realized alternative brands with comparative quality and style exist. Look out for massive mark downs when Buyit right here launches in early April and remember ugg boots are natural air conditioners for your toes and actively cool your feet during the warmer months!

Now, I’m not a big fan of cowboy boots, but if I were able to get some NFR Tickets face value, I’d definitely be willing to attend the National Finals Rodeo coming in December to Las Vegas, Nevada, and I’d actually consider wearing cowboy boots!
So I decided to “zapp.me” some “cowboy boots”, and I scoped out these Old Gringo Leopardito 8″ Cowboy Boots, as they combine my love of animal prints and my favorite color of pink. Available from Zappos.com, $379.95 with free shipping.
Part cowgirl, part fashionista, these leopard print boots are the perfect addition to your wardrobe! Dual pull on straps. Distressed leopard print toe and upper. Leather lined. 1 1/2″ heel.
Ok, now I got distracted because Old Gringo makes mules, too….
Now I would definitely wear these Old Gringo Leopardito Mules (remember brown mules are my absolute favorite shoes), available from Zappos.com as well for $289.95 with free shipping.
Show off your wild side in these cute leopard print mules. Distressed leather upper for a great weathered look. Leather lined. “Scratched” leather outsoles and heel. Tip of the heel has added rubber for slip-resistance. 2 1/4″ heel.
*Old Gringo® boots go through a 130 step handmade production process. Old Gringo® also develops and tans its own leathers and textures to make sure the end result is a super high quality product. No wonder they are so expensive!

Deckers Outdoor Corporation recently offered me the opportunity to wear and review their new Tsubo Hepti in Dark Chocolate Suede / Terracota. I was a bit leery of liking them at first, but after wearing them awhile, I love them!
They originally sent me a size 7.5 – my normal shoe size. Sometimes I need an 8 if the shoe runs small. Well, I couldn’t even get my foot into the size 7.5, either could my size 7 daughter. So I returned them asked for a size 8.5. I was disappointed at first that we were still too tight around my midfoot, yet loose around the ankle. But I decided to keep wearing them to give them the benefit of the doubt. Well, the suede stretched and is no longer tight. I’m presuming now that a size 8 would have been perfect for me after stretching. But I’ll continue to wear thicker stockings.
Every time I’ve wore these with the same color brown socks and dark jeans, and I have gotten a lot of good feedback on the looks of them. I think they would also look cute with cream tights and a long plaid skirt. Pics of me in them will follow in our next His & Hers shoe edition.
My shoe notes:
- The pleated seams (almost looks like piping) on the heels is a unique trait as I like to be “different”.
- I love the colored traction grippers on the soles, not only for the looks of them, but we have a lot of icy patches here in the Midwest right now!
- The open triangular front factors in a sexy appeal – in fact Tsubo’s website calls it an “oh yes” deep-v.
- Available in Black Suede/Gun Metal, Dark Chocolate/Terracota, and/or Fatigue/Dirty Lime.
- Currently on Sale at Zappos.com for $104 with Free Shipping! Regularly $145.
- I recommend ordering a half-size larger than normal.
- Keep in mind they will stretch if too tight at first.
