Drop It Like It's Chaud

Not to hate on Hunter wellies - I mean, if anyone understands wet weather, it's the Brits. But after lusting after them for 4 years, I finally invested in a pair of Aigle rainboots, and they're the best I've ever owned. Here's why I'm so smitten: the rubber is super pliable which makes them  the comfiest wellies you'll ever wear, the cut is thoughtful which helps make your legs look slimmer than typical clunky rainboots, and the design details, like the brand's signature leather tassels, are impeccable. Plus they're handmade in France so they must be good. OMG, I am turning into my mother.

Anyway, I'm in love. And I can't wait for it to rain today. Sorry, but if you buy a pair, you'll totally understand. The boots come in tall but unless you plan on wearing them throughout the winter, I'd suggest the hassle-free shorties. Not cheap but remember: rainboots last forever.

Get your Aigle on now at Town Shoes, Gravitypope or Raindrops TO. 

Happy Friday, y'all!

I never thought I'd say this but, I kind of love the rain. After a long Canadian winter, all of this wet stuff can only mean one thing - that the snow has actually melted, which means that the temperatures are rising, which means that pretty soon, we'll be chilling on patios, hopping in our drop top (if we had a drop top) and hitting the beach.  Okay, maybe I'm a little ahead of myself but I can handle April rain because it's really just a precursor for what's to come. I've made a commitment to look as cute as possible this month, so I did a little shopping (when am I not doing a little shopping?) and found the prettiest raincoats and wellies in moody blacks, playful prints and primary brights. Check out my top rainy day picks here.  Ooh, you're going to look so cute jumping in those puddles...xx
