The collection, inspired by Tamara Mellon’s creative vision adorns this must-have item, capturing the spirit of Jimmy Choo design motifs and the legendary comfort of Ugg Australia.

“Other than Jimmy Choo, UGG Australia is really the only other footwear I have in my wardrobe.  I wear it at home in New York, on holiday in Malibu and as an essential travel accessory for my plane wardrobe.

We are delighted to have created a special capsule that captures the best of both brands – the legendary comfort of UGG with the spirit of Jimmy Choo.”  Tamara Mellon, OBE, Founder and Chief Creative Officer, Jimmy Choo.

The MANDAH boot is a myriad of silver and gold grommet, rivet and domed studding in a patchwork of glittering detail and graphic attitude on a black boot features in the Cruise 2011 Jimmy Choo advertising campaign.  Worn by model Amber Valletta and shot by Ines Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin on a vintage motorbike in front of The St Regis hotel in New York City, one can visualise the laid back East to West coast lifestyle combined with the glamour of the latest boot to complete an urban casual weekend look.

The collection spans quintessential Jimmy Choo design motifs in four further original styles;

KAIA – The Classic UGG boot silhouette with a glamorous twist of leopard and zebra printed lambsuede with grommet and domed studs in an antique finish.

Where the Creatures Live

By | Entertainment, halloween, Hobbies | 4 Comments

Last year, I featured the CREATURES of my Dad ( Creatures October 30, 2009 ) 

img_2215.JPG

Those creatures actually live in my Dad’s home theater 🙂 Eversince I was a kid, Dad was already into audio and video gadgets and it is really his hobby to listen to music and watch movies.  We have lots of good memories because it became a family activity for us to watch a movie all together, or sometimes, just the girls with Mom or we would even invite friends over and make it a movie party 🙂  The place has evolved throughout the years 

img_7812.JPG

We all have to remove our shoes before entering the place 

img_2228.JPG

Many friends cone over to see and meet the creatures and of course watch something in the theater 

img_2217.JPGimg_7830.JPG

Here are some new ones… 

img_2225.jpgimg_2226.jpgimg_2227.jpg

Light switches which I can never figure out so I just press all to open the lights!

A nice Indiana Jones poster on the wall given by Tito Tanny and Tita Brenda 

img_7820.JPGimg_7826.JPG

There are only a few chairs so sometimes we sit on the floor on the sides and the kids sit in front of the chairs.  I was able to sit in front a few months back and realized what I have been missing!!  Those massage chairs are the BEST seats in the house!!!!  Dad always gives them to the guests so we hardly get to sit there, but recently I sat there and loved it!

A recent film we all watched together as a family….
