It’s Raining Coats and Dogs!

Spring is one of my favorite times of the year. In San Francisco, spring time means overgrown flower beds bursting with fluorescent green fauna and wildflowers that have been lying dormant for the few dry winter months.  It also means a horrible commute to work, where you can end up a cold, sloppy mess by the time you reach work.  I have found that the rain can be a whole lot more enjoyable if you’re fully prepared with the proper rain gear.  It helps to motivate you to leave the house in the pouring rain if your rain gear is both practical and fashionable.  I’ve put together a list of this season’s finds of some good rain gear.

A rain hat is one of those things that I wouldn’t normally think about buying, but I have this one, The Que Sera Rhythm of Rain Hat which comes in handy; it really helps to keep away those humid-day-hair frizzies. The Rain Cote from Etsy store, ViolionHalune, is a little more on the utility side, but anything with a hoodie in the rain can save you from getting drenched.  Proper rain gear cannot be complete without a good set of rain boots and a sturdy umbrella.  These Sperry Topsider “Sadie” rain boots in charcoal will keep your feet dry and toasty and what way to be more fashionable in the rain than this Burberry Primrose Umbrella?
