Argh it's raining.
I wish I had some super cute gummies to rock with a sweet raincoat and an umbrella that was a) averse to flipping inside out in the wind b) collapsible into a size other than LARGE and c) enabled me to effectively navigate the water-laden streets without decapitating other members of the public.
I had this totally fantastic Miss Piggy rain-coat when I was four that my sister sent to me from overseas (oh the benefits of having siblings with a 19 year age gap!)- the hood was a miss piggy head, it even had little blonde curls attached SUPER cute. I insisted on keeping it for years and years until mum made me put it into a storage box where it now lives happily in the recess under our stairs.
I wish I could get all English gentlewoman farmer on this sh*tty weather and rock the gummies a la the great British dames, though I'd guess they'd call them 'wellingtons'- Kate and Alexa, but alas the streets of central Auckland are not ready for them (and neither is my wallet! eek!!!). I also like these gorgeous little rain-booties from Melissa by Vivienne Westwood, available at Jaimie Boutique in Ponsonby and Made down near Britomart (hopefully they won't become hideously overdone by the 15 y/o rich kids posse of AK- fingers crossed!!!). However given that I suffer from the ailment known euphemistically as huskiness (a-haw haw), these will prob remain an unattainable dream!
On the topic of rain- oh Gene Kelly you make me sigh... just singing in the rain, just siiiiinging in the rain !!!!
OK, should be writing an essay... naughty moi!
