"Comfort is really important to me, and it's importantto everyone," she told Vogue. "But there has to be some compromises incertain situations. Sky-high heels always look the best, but they are nevergoing to be the most comfortable shoes you own."
As for how Rosie styles her Classic Uggs? "There's notreally any difference in how I'd wear Uggs now versus how I wore them when Iwas younger," she admitted. "In my free time I'm a jeans and t-shirtgirl, and that's exactly how I'd wear my Uggs.
"Obviously, my red-carpet style, or my on-the-go styleis a little more dressed up, but that's what's really fun about thispartnership; because it represents a side of me that people don't usually getto see."
