Earl has been wreaking havoc these last few days and is apparently headed our way. As New Englanders, it's no surprise that we’ve spent the last couple of days anticipating the arrival of hurricane Earl. How could we not? It’s on every news channel, in all the news papers and people are tweeting about it left and right… don’t even get us started about the obscene amounts of worried text messages we’ve received from the west coast. {Thank you for worrying, we love you too.} In the spirit of this hurricane mayhem, we’ve been thinking about ways to combat the intense rain… then it occurred to us that our rain boots are in Seattle {son of a!!!!} Now is probably the time to invest in some new kicks - in honor of Earl, and in light of a quickly approaching fall.

Here are some stylish ways you can play in the rain... pre, post or sans hurricane:
