Mark This Day - My Husband Made A Joke
We drove by a psychic/mystic shop who's window was boarded up with a sign saying "boarded up due to car had crashing into the glass" and I said to my husband "I bet they didn't see that coming" quick as you like he says "How do you know it has happened yet - maybe they are just getting ready for it".

Cardy By Ugg Australia V Cardigan by Mark Stone
I finally have the new 'Cardigans' by Mark Stone - and they are up on my web site for $159 AUD (http://www.ugg.com.au/prod618.htm). I am wearing mine now.
I have also had a chance to compare the original Ugg Australia brand 'Cardy' (http://www.themanufacturer.com.au/) and the Mark Stone Cardigans to see what the differences and similarities are.
Ugg Australia Cardy are the boots that everyone in Europe is mad about. If you are brand conscious then these are the boots for you. At $219.95 AU plus delivery they are expensive but this is the genuine article. These boots come with tags and in the genuine box by Ugg Australia. They are made in China but have that fluffy sheepskin inner that we love love love.
Cardigan by Mark Stone - are a style alike boot from Jumbo Ugg Boots. At $159 au plus delivery they are substantially cheaper but just as nice and still with the plush sheepskin inner we love.
So lets compare...
They look almost identical in colour and styling.
They are the same same sizing (I am a size 6 and both brands fit perfectly)
They are the same height and have the same number of buttons
The buttons have brand stamps - Ugg Australia OR Mark Stone
The soles are different as the genuine Ugg Australia is imprinted into the sole and the Mark Stone are generic.
And obviously the label on the back is different, and I think that the Ugg Australia sole is a slightly better match in colour but only slight.
**Note one has stuffing so it looks like it is wider but they are the same. It is just my poor photo.
Ugg Australia have a no exchange policy but the Mark Stone do offer exchange (see the web site)
It is also interesting that the American owners of Ugg Australia - Deckers Corp have now put a STOP on Aussies selling their boots outside of Australia - that means that if you are in the UK or US we will soon not be able to sell to you!!!
LUCKILY I have stock in my warehouse of both boots for a short time are are able to supply, but once I run out that's it!
