Fab Finds – Rain Boots
The joy of putting together an outfit that expresses who one is and how one feels at the moment can be deeply satisfying to us fashionistas. If you’re reading this blog, I’m sure you can relate to the mini-epiphanies I’ve experienced that result from simply matching disparate wardrobe pieces and accessorizing in a previously untried way. Have you had those Einstein moments where for a silly second you can’t deny your own brilliance in styling? I confess, it gives me a high, a cheap one at that I know, but so what if it can convert what should be a mundane day of errands into something a bit more special?
Some days however, dressing up isn’t exhilarating OR liberating OR identity defining. Some days you face a wardrobe crisis and you never know when it will hit. The challenge I faced all week was the non-stop NY rain. It’s hard to feel fabulous when you know your hair is going to fall flat or turn frizzy. And it’s hard to have fun with your outfit choices when thoughts of what to wear are dominated by restricting priorities like figuring out what will keep you from feeling cold, wet and clammy.
Luckily, there are fashionable rain boots of all styles, colors and price points to keep us warm. This week, my eyes have been on the lookout for the best in wellies. From shopping down 5th Ave. to shopping online, here are my fab finds!
Henri Bendel offers these stripe-lined, rubber wellies for $88. They used to offer brown and white as their only two colors but now they offer hot pink, yellow, red and black. Which ones would you get? Aren’t they super cute as well as being affordable?
If you like red boots, check out these Hunter Jimmy Choos! I love the leopard lining.
Juicy makes a cute printed Wellie for $110 that would look great with a khaki trench.
I’m a sucker for Chanel – anything so my heart pumped a little faster when I spotted these yesterday at Saks.
A tougher Chanel boot shown below will cost you $365 and would look great contrasted with a girly or frilly dress.
For the Gucci girl there are these modern takes on the wellies that look super comfortable.
These Fendi boots would go great with my tote bag. lust!
And of course, who can forget Burberry when talking about anything to do with rain gear? The below accessorized versions are my favorites and are a refreshing change from their usual plaid.

Your minifashionista will fit right in with Noah and this “big hair don’t care” girl squad. So 2018, this lineup is about a funny vlogger with a passion for hair-styling. Yes, she is a YouTube star. LOL The story goes, while shooting her video, Noah fumbled over the words “hair” and “adorable,” accidentally coining the term hairdorable. #instafame! This is THE surprise toy for girls! Each package must be pulled and peeled to reveal a whopping 12 stylin’ surprises.
