If I never saw or heard Julia Roberts ever again I would be SO THRILLED.

Nothing personal against Julia, but she was so overexposed in the 90's that I can no longer watch any of her movies because no matter who she is playing, she is still JULIA ROBERTS.

I've been rocking the silk long johns and no-name plush lined snow boots for the last 3 months. Today is the first day I've worn normal shoes since Christmas, I think. I'm totally feeling Julia over here.

I own a similar coat from the late 90s. It's hella warm, so I keep it, but try to reserve it for the days when my limbs are freezing off and I don't care what I look like. But hey, if she likes it and is comfy, rock on.

@TheFormerJuneBronson: she reminds me of my friend from high school so i just can't not like her. also, reading her Vanity Fair cover story right after Nicole "Space Cadet" Kidman's was like a breath of fresh air. Julia might be a tad smug but at least she's HUMAN.

She has 3 small kids. Any shoes that pull on and off are a bonus when you have little ones around you. Warm too? Bonus. Get off her ass! It's not like she is lacking in opportunities to look faboo.

I was always anti-Ugg, but then I had to go to Chicago last week. I had to borrow a ton of cold weather stuff from my sister, and those Uggs rocked. The rest of me was freezing but my feet were toasty.

For those keeping track, the current titleholder of Sweetheartedness is Reese Witherspoon, with Kate Hudson the First Runner-Up, ready to perform Sweetheart duties should she be called upon to do so. Meg Ryan placed the crown on her head in a poignant ceremony.

@jenalicious:

Word. I could not survive this city (and two hour commute a day) without my comfy uggs and my duvet-like Northface that makes me look like a sausage. I felt like my face had ice cream-induced brain freeze today from the wind, horrible!

No one has the right to judge wardrobe choices when there's a windchill factor that "feels like 10 degrees"!!!

She's hiding most of her face, so I must say this is a good look for Julia. Bet she parked in the handicapped parking space again.

@TheUptightMidwesterner: It pleases me to no end to get that little ping of recognition when you say Nicollet Mall! I lived in Mpls for a couple of years recently. I'll never forget the night we were there for the Christmas parade--I thought we'd be frozen solid by the time it was over! I grew up in New England and lived for a while in Syracuse, and thought I knew from cold winters. But the wind chill out there is something else.

What about Sorel boots? Are they more or less acceptable than Uggs? Because I have only lived in cold places and have yet to find cute, fashion forward footwear to tramp down the Nicollet Mall in when the temp is 60 below windchill.

@Terrordactyl: I don't know if you were directing that at me, but since I was the only one who mentioned LA before you did, I assume you are.

I wasn't hating on LA (I live in SoCal - I love it here). I was hating on people who wear Uggs in LA, because wearing heavy winter boots with a miniskirt and a tank top, when it's 75 degrees out, is fucking ridiculous.

The point was that at least in NY, wearing Uggs at least makes sense because it's cold there.

They're still ugly, though.

But, yeah, I don't really care how she dresses, I mean for a New Yorker at least.
Why does everyone think New Yorkers dress like crap? I might just be oversensitive, though, since I'm from Brooklyn. Whatever. I live with my grandma, so I guess seeing old people all the time doesn't give me a good indication of how people should dress.

@libertine17: Actually that sounds warm to me. I often wear just thick tights on cold days and I'm usually fine. Better than wearing pants that are at all loose around your legs -- that's how cold air gets in.

I dress like CRAP since I've moved out of NYC. But people care less.

Everyone in my building walks around in their pajamas. Stacey would have a shit fit.

I don't know how anyone even recognizes celebrities in normal dress/makeup. I'd never know that was Julia if you all hadn't pointed it out.

Hey, this makes a lot more sense than the several hundred students I saw walking around campus in hoodies and Sketchers without socks. You can always tell the faculty and staff if age doesn't give it away. They're the ones in coats and gloves when it's 15 out.
