Posing in Rain Boots (PLUS Guess to Win)

The old saying goes: March winds and April showers? Bring forth May flowers. So we're hoping that all the rain this month brings forth a lovely May filled with plenty of blooms (feel free to send us flowers next month). To get through April we're donning our rain boots, in styles almost as varied as spring flora.

We all have memories of jumping through puddles as kids, rain boots were so fast to pull on (no laces!) they were the easiest thing to slip on when wanting to get outside and play. One of our posers had a pair of red rain boots decorated with characters from a popular kids show that she loved dearly, but due to playing on an escalator (you know how your parents tell you not to do that, here's why) the boots got caught and she was traumatically trapped in the moving staircase's steal jaws. While her foot came out unscathed, the caught boot was wrecked. Can you guess who lost their favourite wellies in such a fashion and what the kid's show was that had characters decorating her boots?

Lauren's not giving up her winter coat from Guess yet, pairing it with a Forever21 necklace and a pair of Ralph Lauren riding-style rain boots.

Mel's playful Gap rubber boots go perfectly with her other primary-colour pieces—a red Old Navy coat and blue jeans. Here she is playing around with her sons' binoculars (looking for rain clouds in the distance, perhaps?).

Siofan's green wellies from Urban Outfitters are super comfy and she's wearing them with a trench from Uniqlo.

Cathy gets into the tartan groove (perhaps a nod to Canada now having it's own official tartan) in her rubber boots with equestrian details (they are Ralph Lauren after all). Her spring anorak from H&M has a hood in case she gets caught without an umbrella, and check out those gorgeous orangey-red lips.

Guess in the comments below who you think lost their favourite boots as a child and the kid's TV show they featured (hint: it had puppets). Someone's correct guess will earn them a prize!

Quite possibly the biggest regret of my life thus far is the day my Dad said he'd buy me any toy of my choosing and I was waiting at the cash register with this awesome camping Barbie (came with a flashlight!) when something came over me and I decided that being 6, I was "getting too grown up for Barbies". Instead I chose a pink stuffed dog that had several puppies inside it's velcro womb -- how "grown up" of me! The second I got home I hated it and I've longed to have that Barbie ever since. :(

	on April 14, 2011 Siofan 50 said: It's true! It was me and it was horrible. The post traumatic stress I felt was not about the fear of losing a foot, but the loss of the most fun bright red Sesame Street boots ever to be worn by a fiveish year old. The mall paid for a new pair that were far inferior and made my socks fall down and scrunch at the toe when I walked in them.

The lucky winner of this week's beauty prize with her correct guess is ... FussyFille. Congratulations! We'll be in touch soon via email for your mailing particulars. Everyone else, our next fun guessing game is coming up very soon.
