An Early Christmas Gift from My Mom & Nanny


I love love LOVE my LL Bean Boots! As a kid in Canada, I used to own a pair of these but the shoe version (known as duck shoes)

Finally, after almost four years in Scotland, I've found the perfect boots for this wet country. Rain boots ("Wellys") are fine - in the spring - but what about in the winter months when it's wet AND cold?! These shearling-lined Bean boots are fantastic!

After emailing my Mom the link, I showed Paul the boots online. Naturally, he thought they were hideous and remarked that I would look like a mad woman walking about Glasgow in them. He's a boy so really, what does he know about being on the forefronts of fashion? Doesn't he know that Marc Jacobs - one of the most influential designers of our time - has released his own version of Duck Boots?!

Looks like you were climbing the wall to get the boots - very smart.
