Ugg Austrailia Duck Shoe (Nordstrom, $90)
If a topsider and an Ugg Boot mated, it would look something like this. Blech. Clearly, this is the next step in the Faux Pas quest for world domination.
What’s next? Shearling Crocs? Oh, wait…
Hide the women and children.
A girlfriend texted me Saturday with a question that was uniquely D.C. Her office is no longer suits and sheath dresses, but it’s not jeans and athleisure either. “Can an office be ‘semi-formal’?,” she pondered. “What do I wear for that?!” Enter the shirtdress, the solution for summer.
Welcome to the warm weather months. Outside, you will roast. Inside, you will freeze. The air conditioning will be your constant nemesis, as it “conditions” the air to a temperature that is primarily suitable for men. Luckily, this cardigan can keep you warm even when your fiery resentment wanes.
Nora Ephron was right: I feel bad about my neck. As I move through my forties, the creases have turned into chasms. The skin sags like a pair of sweatpants with aging elastic. It’s not great. But it’s just a natural part of getting older. Over the past year, it feels like I’ve tried every […]

This week has been an absolute bear, so let’s reach into the reader mail bag and answer some questions. And let’s start with a post about affordable summer bags.
These are awesome! What are you talking about? No faux pas here!
I don’t like them because they’re Uggs. But they’re very similar to the iconic LL Bean Bean Boots.
Not. Cool.
These feel so LL Bean to me. In a retro way. They sort of make me want to fishing…
Yeah, I don’t really think these are so bad. I’m not going to wear them, but I wouldn’t think it a faux pas is someone else did.
they’re ugg’s version of the LLBean duck boot, not so much of the top sider family. classic new england prep, rather than classic southern style.
the reason the duck boot is so loved is not necessarily its look, but its versatility and ability to get drenched. a sheepskin lining destroys that. perhaps this unfortunately ubiquitous brand can go the same route as croc: AWAY.
