When it rained....

....for about 15 minutes of the day..... I had to throw on the Equestrian  Rain Boots! 

And although they are so thick and inconvenient at times, I love the look of them. As for comfort I'd give it a 6/10. Because they are so tall, and the rubber is genuine and sturdy, it tends to trap my legs. But that's not to say I wouldn't invest in another pair of Burberry Rain boots. This particular style does not come in half sizes so rather than be so large, I went with an 8 instead of a 9. If these had a zipper in the back I would give it a 10/10. Burberry makes such classic items that I can't defame them, but I'm just being honest. 

If you are looking for something Versatile, I would go with a pair of Hunter boots that can be worn both in the rain and the snow. But then it begs the question of whether or not you would like to be more unique with a pair of Equestrian Burberry boots or less unique and go with the Hunters. And also something that is important to consider is a budget. Hunters are way more reasonably priced at approximately

$150 depending on the color/style/where you purchase it. The Burberry Equestrian rain boots are approximately $300.

Depending on where you live, Hunters may not be as popular, but I know that in NYC, they are extremely popular. When I used to walk up Columbus Circle, on rainy days, I would see about 7 people in a pair of Hunters, in the matter of 5 minutes. 

They have grips on the bottom which makes for such a Versatile boot. Unfortunately I was more concerned with style so I went with these. And now that I'm all the way in Albany, I will eventually have to invest in a pair of Hunter boots. Ehhh until then, I'll stick with my H&M trench and my Burberry boots!

Be fashionable with Irene!

I know this may not be the time to talk about apparel and fashion, but I haven't done a post on this in such a long time. Hurricane Irene has come in at full force, but I dont want us all to be victims of Irene in the style department.

*There is no better time than the present to pull out the trench coat

Whether you rock a 3/4 sleeve, short and khaki colored trench or a full sleeve, long and black trench, pull it out the wardrobe for the next couple of days.

*Irene has caused a great deal of flooding so be sure to throw on your rain boots.

I have never appreciated my Burberry Equestrian boots more than I do now.

Although I often complain about how heavy and tall they are, they will be holding me down until the sun comes out again.

Combat boots would be fine also, just as long as they are of good quality and won't be terribly affected by the rain. As for me, I know I can rely on my Black Zara combat boots to get me through a lil rain.

*Ladies, don't be too proud to rock a head tie.

Especially if your hair has been recently permed, pressed, blown or kinked.

I love to rock a turban, so feel free to check out the many youtube tutorials on how to tie a turban.

*Gentlemen, a cap of some sort would be great.

Stay away from the bucket hats though lol. I'm opposed to making yourself look hella silly by sporting a bucket hat.

In all honesty, a cap will do you justice. You may not want to fcuk up your Supreme, Tisa or other high end snap back, but try your best to pull out a baseball cap of some sort.

*This has been a weather friendly wardrobe advisary.

Keep it styling! You all know how I feel: Inclement weather is no excuse to look crusty.

Bumming it is ok. Just as long as you are bumming it correctly lol.

By following the advice I have just given you, you can shake that b**** Irene !
