Kate Spade Riley Red Daisy Rain Boot

It seems that in this fall season, all the designers are harkening back to the days of their childhood. Case in point: the Kate Spade Riley Red Daisy Rain Boot. It reminds me strongly of rain boots that I had as a child; except, well, they were better. I had these awesome red and yellow boots that I wore constantly, even when there weren’t puddles on the ground. They were my six-year-old fashion statement, and man, were those other girls jealous. These boots can be my twenty-five-year-old fashion statement, I guess, if I were brave enough to wear them outdoors. Actually, I’ve seen a lot of ladies dressing up for the watery weather with these crazy-printed rubber boots, and I think that if you can’t wear your designer pumps outside when it’s raining, you may as well wear your designer boots.

I like a nice casual look, and these boots definitely give me that. With their whimsical red daisy print, they remind me of those amazing boots I had as a kid, but they’ve got a modern, classy look to them that lets everyone know I’m wearing Kate Spade. They’ve got a rubber lug sole, a smooth fabric lining, a really cool buckle across the upper, and a 15-inch calf circumference for extra comfort. They’ve even got a one-inch heel so that you can pretend you’re wearing your Kate Spade slingbacks instead. In short, I love these boots, and I love the price, too – they can be yours for a mere $125.00 at the Nordstrom.com website.

Okay, I’ve got to know – what other kinds of designer rain boots are out there? Well, if you’re one of those romantic girls, you can get some absolutely darling Roxy Puddles rain boots at Zappos.com. These pink books are printed with hearts and the Roxy name and like the Kate Spades, they have a cool buckle at the top. You can get them in different colors besides pink on pink, as well, which will please anyone not that fond of so much rose. The Roxy Puddles boots are $54.95 at Zappos.com.

Here are some conventional rain boots that will appeal to anyone not into the little-girl designs on other models. The Aquatalia Women’s Wylie low-shaft rain boots are plain white in color and have a slightly lower boot shaft, as well as a rounded toe. Find them at Endless.com for $122.89.
