short and stout

I already got my rain boots! The fit is perfect, but now I'm trying to decide if they look like they are from the kid's section since they are shorter than the adult version?

They hit about 3 1/2 inches below my knee. Too short????? The only option would be to return, because I am for shizzle not paying $125 for the taller version.

EDIT: Meh... I've changed my mind. These are going back. I'm not spending this much on shoes that I can't decide if I like. Farewell, purple wellies.

love is in the air

I know some people get weird and cranky about Valentine's Day, but I've never been one of them. Who cares if it's a made up holiday? I sure don't. Flowers, cards, sweets, and a night out with your hunky man (or woman)... I'll take it. I'm loving all of these Valentine's cards:

You can never, ever go wrong with Rifle Paper Co. Ever.

These vintage-y cuties from Hello! Lucky are pretty fabulous, too.

Hunter's

I've always wanted a pair of Hunter's, but was never willing to shell out $125 for rain boots. After waiting and waiting for the Aubergine color to come back in stock in the kid's section I finally scored the last pair on Zappos today.  They look almost identical and are $50 cheaper than the women's version! They're still not exactly a bargain,  but with free shipping and returns I figured it can't hurt to try them out.

They're slightly shorter than the women's version of this shoe, but at 5' 5" I'm not too worried about the 4 inch difference to be willing to pay $50 more. I really, really hope they work! I always order my running shoes and Ugg's in kid's sizes, so the only thing that would be an issue with these is the height.
