WHAT'S IN STORE

Comfort aside, UGG boots cool

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and, depending on who you talk to, UGG boots elicit a range of descriptors from “;fugly”; to “;cute.”;

No matter. The sheepskin boots are famous around the world.

Australian surfer Brian Smith created his first boots for the warmth and comfort of fellow surfers, but after many a celebrity was spotted wearing UGG boots around Los Angeles, it took a stylish turn.

UGG(R) Australia just opened its first Hawaii boutique in the Hyatt Regency Waikiki. The boutique faces the beach at 2424 Kalakaua Ave.

While the look of the sheepskin boots may seem more appropriate for the 49th state than Hawaii, consider the sheep, able to endure hot and cold conditions outdoors.

Sheepskin is naturally thermostatic so will keep feet warm in temperatures as low as 30 degrees below 0 Fahrenheit and cool in temperatures as high as the Hawaii norm of 80 degrees, so cool girls and guys who wear them won't break a sweat.

BEAUTY SPOT

Blotting papers gild the face

Here it is October, and humid weather still makes it necessary to blot oil slicks from our faces.

Heading into the holidays, Tatcha brings a touch of beauty to this messy task with its line of aburatorigami leaflets, embellished with gold-leaf flakes.

Aburatorigami started as the handmade papers gold craftsmen used in 19th-century Japan to sheath the precious metals they hammered into thin leafing that graced pavilions of Imperial Japan. Some of the metal clung to the papers and these were described by company founder Vicky Tsai as having been discovered by geisha, who used the beautiful, absorbent papers to blot excess oils from their skin.

The papers continue to be made by hand, are fragrance-free and suitable for all skin types. Most important, the paper isn't coated with powder like some other blotting papers, so doesn't deposit any unwanted residue on your skin.

A pack of 30 sheets runs $12. Order online at www.tatcha.com.
