Cutest Rainboots Ever?

Tamar told me to blog, so dammit, I'm blogging. And here it is: Holy crap, I think I need these. (I may be getting too...ahem...muscular for my current ones!) But what pattern? They are equally adorable!

Sperry Top-Sider "Shearwater" rain boots, $67. I'm thinking gray leopard....

BREAKING! These are cute too...

Sperry Top-Sider "Hingham" boots, $72.

Annnnnd I wouldn't kick these See By Chloe boots out of bed (or any of the new lace-up Hunters):

But sorry, you're an asshole if you spend more than $150 on rubber boots.

Hi/bye!

Plueys Cats & Dogs Rain Boots -- For When It's Raining Cats And Dogs

Remember back to like ONE MINUTE ago when it rained like for the past MONTH in New York? Or, just substitute New York with wherever it's been grey and horrible for curly hair. That's my life. What I mean to say is, LOOK at how cuters these Plueys rain boots are! By the way, the name "Plueys" is a play on the French word "pluie" for "rain." So, there's a little language lesson for you there. Also, in case you're more of a "skimmer" than a "reader," there's a promo code at the bottom of this post.

($60, Plueys)

Not a dog lover? Check out the CAT vershe:

($60, Plueys)

More into leather and lace than animals? Check out their lacey rain boots:

($60, Plueys)

It's like 1984 Madonna in the form of molded rubber! (Oh... wait...)

($30, Plueys)

These adorbs denim-print boots only come in kids' sizes, which is probably for the best. I may be a LITTLE too old for denim-print boots.

Solestruck's Puppy Ad Is Quite Possibly The Cutest, Least-Annoying Ad Ever

HOW could I just possibly go ahead and DELETE this McCuterspie ad from Solestruck? It utilizes the naturalistic collage style -- graphic design types, is there an actual name for this, because I just made that up. It was huge in the '80s, as seen here on the game board of Girl Talk... ... And that kinda treatment always reminds me of the inside of the Grease record album. Anyway, the Solestruck ad also struck me (har) because it employs one of my favorite '80s bubbly fonts AND a cute smooshy, wrinkly widdle puppy. Well done, Solestruck! I know I clicked!

And if you do, here are three pairs I'd click to buy! And you can't turn your nose up at free shipping, which they offer on the regulado, 24/7-ness.

($94.95, Betseyville, Solestruck)

I like how they're sorta '90s riot grrrl meets YSL.

($139, Madison Harding, Solestruck)

I SO can't do a wedge, but perhaps you can?

($99.95, Hunter, Solestruck)

Hardestcore splishy-sploshy rain boot cuteness. These Hunters also come in olive green and black with red detailing. Here, lemme show you, 'kay?

Rain, Rain, COME AGAIN SO I CAN WEAR THESE CUTE CHOOKA BOOTS!

($50.95, Chooka, Karmaloop.com)

Love these buffalo check Chooka rain boots, and you don't see lace-up rain boots often, so esstra snaps for that! PLUS, you can get 30% off with promo code FRESCA. Only prob, for me anyway, is that they don't have size 8. Wah. Size 9 seems too biggie biggie biggie. Lotsa sizes (but for mora dollars) at Endless though.

Epic rain-related video, CCR, "Have You Ever Seen The Rain?"

Two Words, Michael Kors:

Taste. Level.



KORS Michael Kors Slicker Lace-Up Rubber Boot, $295.

Don't Do These Don'ts

I don't care how much love you have for Holland, if you're from there or if you dad owns the place:

($59, Jeffrey Campbell, Dianeslittlelambs.com)
Holland is NOT footwear.


This girl is wearing a ribbon in her hair. UN-ironically. It is not Halloween. It is not Easter. She is not 5. To my knowledge, there was no fire that caused her to DASH out of her apartment wearing this without a second to stop and reconsider the horror. In fact, this photo was taken at a social event. Not at a bodega on a hungover Saturday morning. To add insult to injury and as if to make me want to gouge BOTH of my eyes out, instead of just one, she paired the hideousness with a puffy North Face jacket. Look carefully and you'll notice her arms are in the universal "WTF?" position. Perhaps she passed a mirror, was reminded of what she was wearing, and raised the question to herself. Or maybe she was drunk. Regardless, there's just no excuse.
