Splish Splash I Was …

02/27/14 | Fashion and Style, Hunter, shoes

… jumping in puddles! Well, not quite. I haven’t been cleared yet to jump but stomping aggressively?  Heck yes.  I am pretty much in love with my new Joules rain boots.  For the past half dozen years I have sworn by my Hunters up down and sideways.  Until the buckle broke on my left boot last summer.  Now I have a flapping buckle that no amount of super glue will tame.  That is why I got really excited when Chelsea from Sunny with a Chance of Sprinkles posted great photos of herself last month in striped Joules rain boots – I had been on the hunt.

When a rep from the company reached out and said I could pick a pair of my very own I pretty much a kid at Christmas.  I picked the pair with the big bow on it, of course, their Women’s Premium Rain Boot in Navy (here).

I once read a poem which said there is no other place in the world like New York City in the snow  but enjoy it in the moment as the beauty is fleeting, it is gone in 15 minutes.  I whole heartedly agree.  Snow in this city falls, is white momentarily, and then either melts or starts to turn gray.  (All of you Utah bloggers, I am jealous of your pretty snow!)  The day after a snow storm NYC takes slush to a whole new level and you can not cross the street without stepping in a massive puddle – splish, splash and rain boots to the rescue!

Trying to take cute pictures of your self wearing wellies is actually very difficult.  Especially when it is dark every night when you come home from work.  These are my best attempts.

Yay rain boots! Now if it would only hurry up and be spring!

    Oh my gosh these are so cute! I have a pair of rain boots, but these are way better. I have never really been into rain boots, but I may need to visit Joules and order my own pair…

    I love your Joules boots. I recently got a pair of Joules wellibobs and I couldn’t be happier with them. I cannot wait to add to my collection.

    Those are super cute! I love the bow. I just bought new ones too, boring black, and I’m anxious for spring rain and puddles so I can wear them!

    I bought these same wellies two years ago and they hold up really well. They are a great investment! x
