I have a secret.

I love rain boots a little more than anyone my age probably should. However, I feel this love is justified – on top of being SUPER adorable, wellies also keep your feet dry, making them practical as well. Over the last few years, retailers have rolled out all sorts of fun, bright-colored, patterned boots for you to go dancing in the rain. They start relatively inexpensive for the hesitant puddle jumper, and quickly escalate in price, for those looking to invest in a pair of multi-seasonal boots.

While you might be seeing stars by the price of some of these boots, keep in mind, if you buy a pair of quality, 100% rubber boots they will not only last you a life time (Hunter’s, after all, were used during trench warfare in WWI), but when lined properly can take you to -10 (Celsius that is) weather.

With the quick approach of spring showers, wellies, joined by raincoats and umbrellas, are the perfect remedy for being able to stomp to class without looking like a drowned rat. With lots of fun patterns, styles and colors to choose from there’s plenty of ways to stay dry… in style.

Not to mention, you can always invite boys to stand under your super cute umbrella…

[Welcome to the third edition of my Weekly Love List. On all things I love. Because if I love them - well then obviously you may love them too. As the Backstreet Boys song says (and yes I am actually quoting them) “My Love is All I Have To Give.” So with that, here are this week’s list-worthy things…]

1. Hunter Boots. Every snowy day, every rainy day, every muddy day, I end up miserable when the inevitable happens: my pants become drenched and the water seeps up. There is truly nothing worse (well except maybe herpes). Uggs – or boots like them- are toasty, but they just don’t do the job. Hunter boots are cute, comfortable (unlike most rain boots) and the PERFECT boot for sloshing around in the snow. Put a pair of these bad boys on and I promise you’ll be singing (instead of swearing) in the rain.

2. The History of Love- It sounds like a sappy chic-flick book, but is quite the opposite. Perfect for a rainy day in sweats, paired – of course – with a Pumpkin Spice Latte. I die.

3. This commercial. Genius.

4. Loreal Paris HiP line. You can buy it at the drugstor, but it’s makeup counter quality. I adore the Color Truth Cream Eyeliner in Teal. The black is also a great option to smoke out and you don’t have to feel guilty for spending a fortune.

5. SmittenKitchen.com. A great food blog written by Deb, a women who cooks out of her small NY apartment. Chocolate Peanut Butter cake anyone? Now that is Love List worthy.

What are you totally loving this week?
