Bring on the Rain!

I finally took the plunge and bought myself some Hunter Rain Boots in Navy!!  This has been my favorite DC trend.  The boots are a bit pricey, but they should last forever.  I walk a couple blocks from my metro stop and on rainey days I get soaked.  I NEEDed some rain boots and it has taken me 6 months to decide if these were worth the price.  My husband had been against me buying them until yesterday!  We took my parents to the quaint English town of Middleburg, VA.  It is horse and wine country at it's best!  I have been in love with the town since my first visit a couple of years ago.  We ate lunch and were shopping in a local store that carried the boots.  They were $20 dollars cheaper than I had seen anywhere else and I was helping a local business owner, so M was sold on my purchase. ;o)  I have already been checking the weather for when it will rain again.  I never thought I would be excited for rain.  Now I have to find the perfect trench!

Do you own rainboots?  If so what do they look like? 

XOXO,

Let it snow, Let it snow!!

*SNOW DAY*

Yesterday I was totally jealous that everyone in TN was getting so much snow and we had nothing.  I was thinking I leave and then the snow comes.  I know TN has not had that much snow since I was 4 or 5 years old.  I love to watch old home videos of my brothers and I sledding all over the neighborhood.  "Patience is virture" because when I got up this morning the snow was coming down and as of now it hasn't stopped.  It is beautiful!!!  My first thought was I now have a reason to get new SHOES!!!  I had eyed these snow boots a few weeks ago when Mike had mentioned going skiing.  Mike hated what I was wearing and took me to buy the boots.  After wearing them all day in the snow I would highly recommend them.  They are functional and stylish.  Check out boot here  I plan to also use these on rainy cold days walking from the subway to work.
