i am the rain queen


usually i hate rain.  i'm a huge fan of sunshine. i wake in the mornings & look outside in hopes of seeing blue skies & a big ball of sunshine.  however, i've really been craving rainy days lately.  now i know we need it for obvious reasons like watering the grass, trees & other green things that need to grow, but we also need it for the drought we've been experiencing the last several years. unfortunately none of those are my main reason for desiring a rainy day.  my reason is vain & selfish - i wanna wear my new rain boots!!  a few months ago i became obsessed with finding the "perfect" rain boot.  i went all over town in search of the cute, comfy & practical pair.  i tried on everything from target brands to kate spade.  i searched internet shopping sites & the local malls & alas am now wearing my favorite new shoes - my Hunter brand "Festival" short rain boot.  to the average bear they appear to be a "work" boot, but to me they are the perfect blend of fashion & function.  i believe that everyone needs a boot for the gloomy weather days.  whether your style is polka dots, hot pink, plaid or red cherries, there's a boot out there for everyone to do a little puddle jumping. 
happy rainy day!

  1. Did this obsession start only a few months ago?? I seem to remember a trip through Nordstrom's shoe dept looking for Burberry galoshes a year or a few ago... :)

    Can't wait to read more from my fashion forward friend!
