Uggs anyone?

Well, we've resigned ourselves to the fact that our summer has finished before it has even begun. According to my hairdresser, this depressing weather is set to continue well into August, so we'd better get used to it.

The bad news is that it's wet and cold and it's nearly the middle of July. The good news is that Lux, our shoe concession at Mee, is due its first delivery of Uggs either today or on Monday. With a waiting list as long as your arm, even in July, if you hurry you may be able to get your hands on them before they sell out.

Wearing your Uggs with a summer dress may not be what you were expecting to wear this summer, but at least you'll be paying hommage to what little sunshine we may have, and your feet will be warm as toast.

And the other essential accessory this summer? An umbrella of course!
