Rainy weather, part 2


Dav boots #2, abstract design (from the same batch).
I wasn't really sure which dress length would work best with it so I first paired it with a long dress (from my favourite Bolton's).


After running some errands it this outfit, though, I started having my doubts and on return home, changed into something shorter (vintage-like skirt and T-shirt from Strawberry). For added effect, I used a scarf (also from Bolton's) which sort of repeats the colors on the boots. Actually, that was the reason I bought it in the first place.


Viggo?! How you've changed, and it's only been two days!
Please, don't rub your eyes and stare at the screen at five different angles simultaneously: this lovely creature  (I mean the one to the left and on the leash) is a bloodhound we met in Central Park. His name is Wimsey, he lives on the West Side, and as a truly modern dog, he has his own blog http://wimseyblog.blogspot.com



Viggo couldn't miss his chance and the two of them played for a while. Looked rather rough!



With all the playing, chatting, bouldering and inevitable picture taking, we stayed in Cetral Park till dark.



These buildings on the West Side always make me think of some enchanted castles from a fairy tale, the pond nearby just adding to the impression.

Rainy weather


We finally got some rain in the past few days. Normally, rain makes me gloomy but this time, it was quite the opposite: ideeli (www.ideeli.com) finally shipped my rain boots, still from Dav, still on sale and it was a good chance to try them outside.
There were better pictures taken the same night but as I was freeing some space on the memory card, I accidentally deleted them (damn!)



Pair #1, Firebird (or at least I think this might be one)

Rediscovering my Scottish side



My rain boots collection continues to grow; recently, I got these plaid ones (MIA) from 6pm (they were on sale!) and tried them on today with the Motivi skirt that I bought a long, long time ago but rarely get a chance to wear. Hopefully, now it's going to change - they promise rain for the next few days and I have all my weekend already booked up.
Wanna find a matching plaid umbrella!!!
Yeah, I know it's gonna be too much plaidness for one person but I'm allowed to dream, right?

Rain boots, another addiction

Not that long ago, I did not have rain boots in my wardrobe. At all. Exactly how that happened is still a mystery to me. Every spring and every fall, when rains would open their season and I would be soaking in my sneakers while walking Babay around the block, I would promise to myself to finally get (at least) one pair of rain boots. I mean, those are basic necessity, right?
Then I would come back home, open the closet, dodge yet another shoe box falling from an overly cluttered shelf and my determination to further increase my overly abundant shoe collection would start to wane.
But this spring Gilt had a sale for Dav boots, I couldn't resist (both the design and the price) and when they finally arrived one look at them turned me into a devoted rain boots-holic. OK, that probably didn't come out right. Let's just call it rain footwear adept.
Exhibit #1, rain boots with golden fish (and something that looks like algae).









Still not over missing my second cup of coffee this morning.

Rain boots: part 2

Saw these at ideeli today (http://www.ideeli.com/) . Seems like Dav is getting very popular. By the way, my rain boots have arrived and they're fantastic, even much better than on the picture!
These are actually just like mine except they have heels.







More boots that I liked.

Extreme weather conditions

The extreme weather conditions they predicted for last night (heavy snowstorms, up to 2 inches of snow) never materialized. I thought that when I wake up this morning, everything around me would look like this.
But it's just cold and dreary. And where is that snow, by the way?! Our dog was especially disappointed.






On a brighter note, just found these at Gilt (http://www.gilt.com/) and couldn't resist. It's a new company called Dav, they are based in California and they make very cute rainwear.






When they arrive, I might start shopping for a matching umbrella (and hopefully, that'll be the only thing I will need to go with those boots).
