Little Kids, Big City
Yesterday was the kind of day that makes people who aren't from here mock Seattle. I didn't walk a half block before my socks were soggy and my boots felt like they would slough off my feet. It would have been rough enough on my wardrobe and psyche, but to make matters worse, I had my 19-month-old daughter in tow. And we were riding the bus. And we were going to the doctor to get her shots. If you have dealt with any of these potential pains in the derriere, you know what sort of cursing I was doing in my head.

Just because it's raining, sloppy and just plain dismal out doesn't mean you can't be cute. When it's pouring, pull on a pair of Plueys (also known as Wellingtons, galoshes and puddle stompers) and they'll instantly put a sunny smile on your face.

Come late summer, I'm dreaming about colorful foliage, crisp breezes and updating my wardrobe. Even though it's been years since I've been back-to-school shopping, each August my inner co-ed begins to foam at the mouth a little at the newest and the hippest in fashion trends.

Gone are the days when the Wellington boots — also known as "Wellies" or rain boots — were solely used for gardening, farming or for children to stomp around in the rain. Now, these stylish boots are reinvented for the trendsetters and fashion trendies alike, to wear all-season round and any place they wish.
