How to Win: UGG Glitterati Challenge II

Bada Bling, Bada Boom!

These boots are made for winning. Literally. They're the grand prize in UGG's Second Annual #Glitterati Challenge II. To win them, just go into one of 31 retail locations from January 18- 31 and and guess how many Swarovski crystals adorn the displayed custom UGG Classic Tall boot. The entrant who guesses closest to the correct number without going over wins a pair of $4,900 crystal-encrusted boots. The second place winner will receive a $500 UGG gift card, and third place gets you one for $250. There's no purchase necessary to win. Gotta love that part. Click here for participating stores.

Shoe News: Ugg Austrailia's Seventh Annual Art and Sole Auction

These Boots were Made for Bidding



We at S&B love to see shoe designers collaborate for the greater good of others. While we don't often wear (or blog about) shoes that aren't high heeled and super sexy, we're making an exception for UGG Australia's Seventh Annual Art & Sole Auction. Held from December 1-14, the auction features UGG boots uniquely decorated by some of fashion and footwear's biggest boldfaced names. Betsey Johnson (whose pink UGGs- pictured- had the highest bid when we checked late Sunday night), Giuseppe Zanotti, (Project Runway alum) Christian Siriano and Stuart Weitzman were among the designers who gussied up a pair of the ubiquitous boots. All proceeds raised will go to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Bidding is hosted by Charity Folks and ends at 3 PM EST, so hurry up and get clicking!
