April Showers - Friday's Fancies

After twenty-five years of living in the Pacific Northwest, I know a thing or two about dressing for the rain. It's all about being practical and cute. With this Friday's Fancies look, I've achieved just that....totally stylish and waterproof. Join us over on Long Distance Loving with your April Showers look. Or head on over to LL Bean and buy me a pair of those boots (size 6 or 7). Happy Friday!

It is down pouring here in Portland! This is making moving much more enjoyable. After living in the Pacific Northwest for 25 years, I've still have not come to love the rain. It's really not fun....don't believe what people tell you. I mean look at this absurd forecast. Oh and the rest of my family is in sunny AZ right now too. Thank goodness for cute rainboots.

rain, rain go away

listen to the rain

We have been lucky and have had a beautiful fall in Portland. The warm sun didn't last and now it's that time again to pull out the rain boots and umbrellas.

The best little info

While browsing one of my favorite blogs, Sweet Nothings, I learned that there are THE greatest knock-offs off of Jimmy Choo Hunter's at Payless. Hello, the cheaper version are so calling my name.

They look identical!

Thank you Sweet Nothings!!!

if it must rain...

I would like to use this Marimekko umbrella.

give me a blanket

This rain needs to stop...it is almost Spring for crying out loud. This looks like a good place to curl up until the rain stops.

I absolutely hate turning them on at the fastest speed too! And this is why I love Post Secret
