Rolls and Rain Boots

Let me introduce you to a very important person, my best friend. Not only is this lovely lady one of the kindest, most considerate friends it's possible to have, she is also now my Maid of Honor. Meet Pippa...

Isn't she so well dressed?! I always have clothes envy. If only we were more similar in size then I could steal all her clothes. Alas, she is small and I am tall, there's truth in the saying opposites attract. Being the wonderful friend she is, and also being dedicated to her new duties, she took a day off work to make a start on dress shopping with me. We managed to fit in a quick trip to Yo! Sushi and a lot of non-bridal shopping too though. Does it really surprise you?!

If you fancy some sushi, you should give Yo! Sushi a try, it's my favorite sushi place, plus there's 40% off this month. So you can save yourself some money or if you're anything like me, use that as an excuse to eat 40% more!

  

On the way home from shopping we stopped by Daniel a footwear shop. I picked a pair of much needed wellingtons, otherwise known as rain boots to the rest of the world.

I have a pair of awesome 'Duck Egg Blue' Hunters back in Korea but for some reason (I must be crazy) I didn't think I'd need them when I was in England. Yes, England, land of constant wetness. I told you I must be crazy! It's rained almost non-stop since I've been here and now that I've bought these I'm sure it won't rain again. Still, they're comfy and I think they look stylish enough to wear in place of casual boots, so I'm happy with my latest purchase.

I know a lot of people who think wellies are the ugliest things ever but I think this pair of better than the average. What do you think of them? Do you own any Wellies?

It's raining, woohoo...RAIN BOOTS!

Rain boots, Wellies, Wellingtons, Gum boots...I've heard people refer to them as all of the above. I'm from England so to me they're my wellington boots or as I like to call them affectionately, my Wellybobbles.

I think the childlike name came about because of their ability to evoke childlike behavior in me.

As a child I had several pairs of wellington boots, all too big, that would slop around my little (actually not so little - I was a rather chubby child and teenager - but you know what I mean) legs. They didn't look that pretty but they were fun!

So for the last few month's Wellington boots have been featuring in all the fashion magazines, more specifically Hunter rain boots have been. I'm living in South Korea and here we have a monsoon season around late June to early August. I'm from England so I'm not unaccustomed to some rain but let me tell you when it rains here, it REALLY rains. Last year I battled through the monsoon season sliding around in my pretty summer sandals. I even lost a beloved pair of L.K.Bennett gold sandals to the rain. The leather strap tore! (Nearly cried, I won't lie!) I decided I couldn't risk more fatalities so I went ahead and ordered some Hunter boots.

Duck Egg Blue Original Gloss Hunters. Yey!

I opted for the 'Duck Egg Blue Tall Gloss' Hunter boot. I'm always wary of fakes popping up on random internet sites, the price might look enticing but if you think it's too good to be true it probably is!

I decided to order mine from ASOS, they were £72 with free shipping which was the same as the retail price on the Hunter Website. I would have ordered from Hunter directly but since I'm living abroad the free shipping is always a winner.  Here is the selection of Hunter's ASOS has on offer.

I've noticed a particularly chic black pair, which I might have to purchase, for the practicality of course!

You might think I'm late in posting about rain boots since it's technically hitting summer but if you live in England I'd still advise you invest in a pair. They'll always come in handy at some time and many celebrities have been spotted in them. Do you still need more excuses?! Okay...you should probably get a pair for that summer festival your thinking of going to!

Plus, I can promise you, you'll secretly be smiling to yourself as you find yourself navigating you're way into every puddle possible! <3
