NO.... he does not notice things like that....We live in such a warm climate that Im ALWAYS in flip flops, or sandals...so when we are in cold weather he thinks its things I have had for ages...good questions though!!
I just got my catalog as well and the Gucci ski boots are killer. They have some Manolo boots that look divine. I do know that I am ordering the Chanel slingbacks.
I liked the Gucci boots the first time I saw them as well - and realized I have a Prada pr. from last year very similar lol! Good luck with sneaking them in! One time I ordered 3 pr. of shoes/boots from NM and sure enough DH was home and made me open the box in front of him (and the kids) -- I was not pleased - funny thing though, I only opened 2 boxes and he didn't know there was a 3d lol.......
