blame it on the rain...

ok...i'll admit it...i don't much like the rain...unless of course...i am inside...and staying put...but there are those days that i must venture out...in the rain...as has been these last few weeks...we have had an enormous amount of downpours in the bay area...almost enough for me to think i need to add a nice pair of rain boots to my shoe collection...

as i ventured through nordstrom.com in the comfort of my home...nice and dry...i was pleasantly surprised with a lovely array of choices...being that cold and rainy days usually signify...grey and dreary...at least for me...my need to bring cheer in...forces gives me reason to go for fun color and texture...

here are my top choices...if i do decide to bite the bullet...and splurge on a nice pair of rain boots...

what do you look for in a rain boot?  color...texture...neutrals?  seeing all the choices...it is obvious that there is something for everyone...

men's corner: the boat shoe...revamped...

back in april 2010...i wrote about this lovely shoe that i am not to keen on...haven't really figured out why...they just don't appeal to me...and at that time...after a lengthy time of finally persuading my friend of the other alternatives for footwear...he comes across an article in  gq magazine...all about the lovely boat shoe...making a comeback...here is the post...for reference...

and no...i am not writing a new post to tell you of my new found love for these shoes...although i do have to say...i am loving the creativity in the latest styles...but really...it is the color...and the prints i'm loving...not the shoe...

i keep thinking one day...something will make me change my mind...but alas...it has not happened...is this a winning shoe for you?  if you are a top-sider wearer...do you stick to the solid neutrals?  would you venture out to a bright color...perhaps bright orange?  or would you be really adventurous...and choose something like the above pics?
