Shoes for the rainy season

This is one of the big problems I have when living in Jakarta, the impossibility of walking and wearing nice shoes in the rain. Not just because the extremely heavy rain - we never have the romantic shower rain here, but also uneven roads - there are muds everywhere.
I remember once occasion required me to move from one mall to another mall. I have to give up my favorite nautical inspired flat shoes in the seconds steps.
So, I was extremely happy when receiving this newsletter from divinecaroline. Happy enough as if my pupil were bigger and my face was warmer when reading and looking at these shoes..

Water-Resistant Pump

I loved this sexy red pump with the three-inch-heel by Slow and Steady Wins the Race even before I knew it was water-repellent and made from red nylon. Now I can imagine nothing more romantic, or satisfying, than these shoes and I taking long walks in the rain together. So great to finally find the shoes that I can live splashily ever after with!

Rain Level Boots

We Irish have all sorts of colorful language to describe rain (i.e., mist, drizzle, soft rain, hard rain, pissing rain, biting rain, pelting rain, and so on …); these clever Rain Level wellies from Regina Regis would allow me to up the ante in the conversation by declaring the exact quantity of rainfall. Great gift for a meteorologist/Irish person. Available in nine great colors.

Tapestry Melissa

When I think of waterproof shoes, I always think of Melissa sustainable rubber shoes first; they're practical (they can be washed in the sink), comfortable (mold to your feet after a few wears), and—as if that wasn't enough—the brand is always pushing itself to be stylish and inventive, too. Love this eclectic peep-toe tapestry shoe from the Melissa x Alexandre Herchcovitch fall 2010 line.
