Got to Have it: Ugg Boots

Everyone who's anyone knows how UGG's sheepskin boots have been a hot item since they were first spotted on celebs a few years ago.

If you're jones-ing for a pair yourself, but over the sheepskin, you'll flip over these UGG women's classic cardy boots which are made of colorful knitting. What do we love most about these boots? Besides the comfy look and feel, we can't get over the super cool buttons!

The three over sized, wood buttons can make the boots styled up and buttoned, slouched and slightly unbuttoned, or completely cuffed. The best part of these boots? They come in grey, stout and oatmeal, and for only $144 Canadian, it's hard to resist more than one pair!

To purchase UGG boots, visit www.uggcanada.ca.

Little Girls, Little Bows and Giving Back

We love love love highlighting Canadian companies on Fabulous Finds so we were so excited when we found Ladybugs and Lullabies on Twitter! We thought their hair accessories were so cute, we e-mailed them straight away to ask for a sample. We just had to get our hands on their bows that are so popular with celebrities like Brooke Shields, Jessica Alba and Jennifer Garner!

"I created Ladybugs and Lullabies because I couldn't find good quality hair accessories that would stay in my baby girl's hair," Allyson Grabish, Owner of Ladybug and Lullabies says. "I initially started looking for a headband and then on to hair clips and all of the ones that I found either didn't stay on or they left marks on her little head, and I would end up having to take them off. I couldn't find any hair accessories that actually stayed in."

Allyson went on a search to find a type of clip that would stay in baby fine hair and after lot's of searching and research, she found one that worked. She eventually started selling her clips and today, people all over North America are flipping out over these adorable creations. Another amazing thing about this company? They give back to charity.

Ladybugs and Lullabies has collaborated with the Bailey Baio Angel Foundation, started by Scott and Renee Baio after their daughter Bailey tested positive for a metabolic disorder known as G-A 1. The Baio's started the foundation to help raise awareness about this disorder.

Ladybugs and Lullabies, to show their support, created a clip named after Bailey. A portion of the proceeds of each clip go directly to support the foundation.

How heart warming is that? If you want to support the Bailey Baio Angel Foundation, click here.

Something Old + Something New

I went to an amazing wedding this weekend and both the bride and groom were wearing fantastic vintage pieces from Pureville - had I not known they were from this talented designer I would have thought they were heirlooms handed down from their ancestors. His pieces are the perfect mix of something old and something new, as well as personal. His lockets, which are my favorite, give you the opportunity to add a touch of your own personal past.
