It has rained in Vancouver for 2 weeks straight now. I seriously forget what blue sky looks like and Im desperately missing the way the warm sun feels on my face. I go to school and its dark, I come home from work and its still dark.
On the bright-side people in Vancouver know how to combat this miserable weather. Everyone on the street is decked out head to toe in fashionable rain gear. Ranging from super cute umbrella's in hundreds of different print and colour combinations, Northface gore- tex jackets and Hunter rubber boots. Yes Toronto readers, rubber boots is a fashion statement on the west coast, my grandmother is rolling over in her grave right about now just knowing that her old squid jigging wellingtons is Haute Couture in Vancouver. Sad thing is they are growing on me not just because my feet are constantly soaking with out them but because of the range of colours these bad boys come in. Check them out at www.hunter-boots.com.
UPDATE: I bought a pair. After seeing a really cute wedding photo-shoot while walking Riley through Stanley Park. The bride and her whole wedding party where jumping in puddles and I looked down at my good ol' keep your feet warm in Ontario UGG boots soaking wet and falling apart due to the rain. I headed to the closest Stoneridge and picked up a pair.Im Happy to say my feet are dry and Im starting to enjoy this endless rain a little more.
