When Neiman Marcus launched NM INSITE at the beginning of September, it started out as just another product blog.

If you just can’t fathom the idea of sporting a pair of UGGs with your latest outfit, you may want to reconsider your abstinence from this Australian brand that many fashionistas have deemed simply ugg-ly. UGGs boots are putting a fashionable step froward this winter with unique collage styles in suede, leather, and somewhat attractive styles.
Take the UGG Australia Sandra Wedge Boot, $325, for instance. This one features antiqued dark chocolate suede and leather, trimmed with genuine sheepskin cuffs and plenty of lining. A 3″ wedge heel ensures you’ll enjoy height benefits while trekking over snowbanks, and UGGs even encourages you wear it barefoot to make the most of the moisture-wicking micro pile lining. This one easily pairs up with the season’s leggings and skinny pants, without compromising on style.
