tidbits

• thank the sweet lord that my least favorite, most oversaturated ads are DONE. louis vitton has officially tapped the gorgeous lara stone to replace madonna. i actually hated looking at those ads.
• my rainboots have arrived!!! i opted for the olive/hollyhock tretorns. it was the fuzzy inside that got me. i mean, i might not have to wear socks, and we know how much that idea thrills me.
• my homie jess was in nyc this past weekend and got me a suuuuuuper cool bracelet from wrecords by monkey. i love this idea, and honestly the bracelet is as comfy as it is cool!
• i'm officially learning how to slappa da bass! i learned two "riffs" as they, i mean WE (i'm a musician now, i can say that) call it. now i just need a bass, and thanks to joanne a temporary solution may be coming my way!
• oh, and don't miss my girl diana making headlines and changing the world!

more boots

geez i am the worst. not only am i more torn on which pair to get thanks to everyone's insightful comments...now i have more to add to the mix.

banana republic equestrian rainboot. $98

too boring? i love these classic looking boots, but maybe some color would help make a rainy day less drab.

michael kors stormy rainboots, bloomingdales. $125.

also too plain? but they are motorcycle rain boots! like frye's but rubber!

ok, so i've been lucky and it hasn't poured again yet. but i need to be prepared...let's choose a winning style! i think i have elimated the lace-up chookas if that helps. but i still like the rest! help me out in the comments!

rainy days ahead

it's that time of year....winter is on its way. in san francisco that means months of mild gray days with hopefully good amount of rain (yes, i went there and while rain is no fun for anyone, it's certainly better than a drought and fires). unfortch for me, my super cute rainboots cracked and now they don't serve their primary purpose all that well. that is to say, they don't keep my feet dry. i can get away with it on light rains, a.k.a. mist, but not for actual drops of water falling from the skies.

i'm not exactly the biggest fan of boots, rain or otherwise (see carousels and bows wherein i discuss that socks are like prisons for my feet. boots are maximum security, but cute). nevertheless, wet feet are pretty awful so i am embarking upon a search for new rainboots. knowing me, this could last all season and then i could put it off again until next october.

chooka lace-up rain boot. nordstrom's. $79.95

too much?? i like the lace-up cuz it's different. and i love the olive green trim at the top.

chooka signature croc boot. nordstrom's. $79.95

too boring? what's up with that big chooka label on the side. but i do like the croc.

tretorn skerry vinter. piperlime. $60.

too short? hmmm i kinda like that. and fur!! they come in a goodlooking brown also.

hunter original in merlot. piperlime. $115.

too expensive? these are the classics though, so maybe they are built to last. hopefully.

kate spade randi. kate spade. $125.

too absolutely ridiculous? yes. but too cute?? also yes.

can we play the voting game on this one? that was so much fun last time. also, please if someone who lives not in a mostly dry climate has any suggestions i would looooove to hear them. i'm all over the place on this one and clearly need some guidance. thanks!!
