Atelier Doré

If you are going out, good rain boots & rain jacket are a must! Oh and eye makeup that will stay put… I will say I’ve had terrible luck with Hunter boots, though! When I first moved up to the Northeast a few years ago, a friend said to get Hunters because they are very good and I won’t waste my time/money buying a new pair of rain boots every time they spring a leak. So I forked out the money, and low and behold… the Hunters sprung a few leaks of their own! And they have the special heel on them, too! And that’s where one of the leaks is…. Anywho, I have a pair (pretty heavy duty, not just flimsy galoshes), from Target about 4 years back, that have lasted and lasted. They probably cost me a tenth or less of the cost of my Hunters.

This weather reminds me of the day over a year ago when I met my now boyfriend. It was our first date after we had been chatting online for a few weeks. I woke up that morning and got ready (for real, as in dried my hair, straightened my hair, put on cute clothes etc…) and then I walked outside (I was going to walk despite 45 min away destination– good exercise) and its raining. I go back in, throw on my galoshes and rain jacket and grab my heavy duty umbrella (a golf one, with extra reinforcement for wind!) and head out. It starts raining pretty heavily, but of course when I take shelter on my way and call a cab, no cabs are available (such is the effect of the rain). Public transit to/from me to there is not happening either. So I walked all the way to our brunch spot, showed up soaked… the rain went through my « rain jacket, » my galoshes had their usual leaks, and my eyeliner was all amess. And the rest… it is history ;)

Back on topic…
If you aren’t going out… I would add to this list… TEA. Harney & Sons Paris, pair with a good book (here I suggest travel lit, always good for rainy days) and some good pajama bottoms (still looking for some good silk shorts to replace old tattered ones). Perfect.

Les bonnes botte françaises classiques l’Aigle: elles sont increvables!

It’s been raining since last week in South Florida I am sick of it.

Garance, I am so excited! Yesterday I purchased a jacket by Mountain Hardware that looks very similar to the Helmut Lang as well as a pair of Hunters that are foldable/packable. Next week I leave for several days in Paris followed by a few days in Normandy. I am almost sure I will encounter rain in Normandy and want to be prepared. This is my first time in Paris, so I’ve been stalking your blog for all things chic.

Helmut Lang: nice. But what you should really have when it’s raining: a Stutterheim! see http://stutterheim.se/eu/. They’re the very best raincoats, waterstop, craftsmanship ánd fashion wise (I think ;-) ). I recently bought a white one (see http://world-of-eva-v.blogspot.nl/2013/05/my-own-stutterheim.html if your interested). btw love their slogan: Stutterheim. Swedish melancholy at its driest.

J’en ai achete une en coton, rayee ecru et rouge chez J.Crew. Manches 3/4, droite avec fentes sur les cotes.
Prix raisonnable. Elle existe en differentes couleurs de rayures.
Good luck !

Mais…? On avait pas parlé d’acheter moins et mieux…?!
Je suis hors sujet?
Bon we!

Those Hunters are dope! I have the classic (tall) ones, but now I’m lusting for these medium high babies. Perfect for rainy weekends :).
