Stylish when wet...

This week for me has been nothing but gloomy, cold, and wet.  I love raining days when I could just stay home in bed and cuddle up in a nice warm blanket!  The reality of it is I have to get up every morning and go to work... ughhh, which makes rainy days not so pleasant.  

I also have been meaning to do some product reviews, fotds etc. but the weather in combination with my laziness has gotten the best of me.  Hopefully this coming weekend I'll have some motivation!

When it's raining out I usually go for the "bummy look", which basically means an over sized hoodie, jeans,warm boots, hair in a messy bun, and no make-up.  But just because I'm not stylish doesn't mean you can't be!  So this post is just dedicated to some really hot items you could be rockin' on a raining day.


Umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)

[high fashion]




who wouldn't look fab with Chanel? (just can't go wrong)



 

Burberry is just a classic! This umbrella plus a matching scarf = HOT! (when it's cold out)

 

Juicy is always so cute and girly.


[other randoms that are really cute]


 Loving the ruffled edges

 
 Oh em gee, how cute is this?  Wouldn't it be funny if an actual bird tried to fly in? hehe
 

 

HK.... enough said

 
This will make  you look forward to some clear skies ahead

 
The umbrella that always looks wet

 

Awwww.... hearts
 
I'm not sure if this one is meant for the rain or a stroll in the park

[the weird]




This will keep your head/face completely dry but seems like your bottom area might get wet
 
Poor kid! I hope no one makes their child wear this! lol

Rain Boots

 

Who would of thought rain boots could be so stylish?

 



 

Would it be weird if I wanted to wear these when it's not raining?
 

 






My favorite one!  Swarovski Studded Rain Boots!  At first I thought they looked like regular boots but they are rain boots.

So any of you guys have cute gear for the rain?

Pop Champagne said...

omg I was actually going to get that Juicy umbrella for the longest time, but then they didn't have it anywhere in Canada for a good price, and then when I went ot the states I couldn't find one... so I bought a coach one instead -_- sighh now looking at that pic makes me wanna buy it again lol

and you're so funny with the heidi montag comment! well brooke hogan sold 30,000 copies of her CD and she looks like a man...? but maybe it's the intimidating factor like she'll beat the crap out of you. HAHA!

Hyuna said...

I really like the cloud umbrella...it's so simple yet cute!
The kid umbrella is hilarous...xD

Babybubblz said...

the heart umbrella is soo cute! love it!

Shop N' Chomp said...

Haha...love this post Amy! I look really bummy on rainy days. It's like, what's the point? :P I was looking at Burberry umbrellas at the outlet this past weekend and they were still over $100. WTF. Some day. And I heart rain boots. Shame we can't really use 'em in L.A. (This week's freak weather doesn't count) I'd rock me some Wellies.

Carine said...

I always forget my umbrellas everywhere so i shouldn't buy one of these cuties :p

ning * star said...

oh, my little bro has that kid's style rain coat, it is a cute duckling rain coat. hehe. and the hat is another small umbrella, very cute.

Kasia_B said...

Those boots are so cute! I want to own a pair too :)

Lisa said...

the only thing that will make a chanel umbrella carrier less cool would be if the wind was so strong that it flips the umbrella inside out

... hahahha. It's only day 3 of heavy rain, and my brand new umbrella already has a broken spoke -_-

ko0ty said...

That little kid one is soooo cute!

Jess said...

Oh woww... I'm drooling over the Chanel and Burberry one! Never be annoyed again because it's raining outside, huh? Haha... ;)

Hi Amy!

I missed your posts but can understand how the rainy weather makes us want to kick back and relax. ^^ It's raining so much in Glendale. You posted such cute rain gear. I have one of those clear dome umbrellas and love it but now I wish mine had hearts on them lol like the one you posted. Rain boots are awesome too. The last pair looks especially cool since they seem like regular boots.

Manju said...

i love the chanel one!but no way im gonna dish out loads of money to buy an umbrella, i keep breaking or forgetting them >_< ''

Fifi said...

Gosh it's been raining here too. I need a pair of those rain boots, I really do.

Diane said...

I love all the umbrellas! I really want the birdcage one, so cute! I just saw a picture of Katy Perry in the the rain and she had that HK umbrella. I don't own any rainboots, I always think I'm to short and they will look stupid. Maybe I should give them a 2nd chance because they look so cute!

Kalmo said...

Hi again Amy :)

Thanks for your super sweet comment on my latest post. Love is wonderful and scary lol. I'm with him in Glendale. We should have a blogger meet up. No offense if you say no because I'm sure you're really busy though. I'll be in SoCal for about another month. ^^

When I make my way back home, I send you some VOV masks!

freshelle said...

every girls needs a chanel umbrella and fendi rain boots !!!

PixyEla said...

I'm loving the Burberry umbrella!!
I can totally relate to the bummy look when it's raining. I hate that it ruins plans to do anything you want. Booooo to rain, but yay for the stylish umbrellas & rainboots!! :)

Liana said...

i love the HK umbrellas! and the rainboots are soo cute!

ndoodles said...

Unfortunately - we don't get that much rain here so rain boots are usually just left to waste. BUT I adore those umbrellas! Check out the ones that look like the sky inside.

☆Anastacia☆ said...

What a cute umbrellas! Lovely stuff!

Catherine said...

I desperately need a good umbrella and a pair of waterpoof boots!! I've been melting down here in San Diego too but it rains so rarely that I've put off getting any waterproof shoes for the entire 3.5 years I've lived here. Sad no? I have two pairs of SUEDE boots! And even my running sneakers have mesh vented tops! LOL.

*sigh* I'm borrowing SO's umbrella today, which is the sturdier one b/c my old one is actually a "sunbrella" my grandpa bought me in Taiwan and it just can't stand up to the winds here. I used to have a super cute bright yellow GAP one, but I think my ex roomies stole it. I haven't been able to find one as nice since. =/

xoladiihoneyxo said...

lol. OMG, I was going to take a picture today of my whole entire outfit since it rained, for Lindah. LOL. I have a pair of Juicy Couture rain boot and New York (something high brand I guess) umbrella but of course, it doesn't cost as much as Chanel umbrella's. lol. The Chanel umbrella looks very classy =] I want one! And OMG at the Burberry umbrella! That's so cuteeeeeee!!! hahaha. But it probably doesn't match with my boots since it's so pink and only have a little brown/white on it. haha. I don't really dress up. Sometimes it seems like it and sometimes it's a scrub but still looking nice with the rain boots. Personally, I think girls/guys who have wide feet shouldn't get the high brands since it's not made for wide feet. I think Charlotte Russe and Payless Shoes is selling some right now, I don't know about their qualities but I do know that rain boots should not make your feet wet... if it does, it's not rain boots! lol.

Hi Amynaree!

Yeah I had great hopes for that Avon body yogurt, but it sucks for the winter, and I doN't think it will be better for summer. I wouldn't buy it again. I'm glad it coste me only 4$!

Awww those umbrellas with the bird and the clear skies are so cute!

Kym said...
