Here’s my rain gear. I’ve been wearing this a lot lately, including today.
I bought this jaunty rain chapeau from Winners a few years ago, since I find it impossible to use an umbrella while pushing a stroller at the same time. (I don’t drive – I walk everywhere.) It’s made by Platania, awesome hat-makers from Italy. (You know how Italians make all the good stuff…) I l-l-love it, and it fits me perfectly. As does this amazing trench coat that a friend passed along to me recently. It cuts away in the front, unlike a standard robe-wrap trench coat, and it has excellent deep pockets, each with a cool button detail. It’s nice to have a full-length coat for bad weather – it helps keep the stroller-mud-backsplash off my pants. I dunno how I’ve managed to live without one until now.
Sun, will you please come back? It’s nearly June. (Balls.) At least this outfit makes pretending to be a spy a whole lot more fun…
Platania rain hat – Winners
black trench coat, Twik – Simons
rain boots – Kamik
Frizzball hair? Really?!
tres chic, grumbler. I have the frizzball hair type so I have to wear a hat in the rain otherwise I look super LAIDE.
This is so much fun playing in your closet.
Im spying on you… 😉
Kim Mitchell????? Jen hilarious. Okay – does every Montreal’er have to be so stylish. Dude – you look amazeballs. Why did I move before I became stylish? Rats.
Theres nothing like a cheery colour on a raincoat… YAY!
I love that SOMEONE thinks Im Perfection!! How sweet and kind you ladies are… amazeballs. xox
Youre so cool, Jen… and the Kim Mitchell image in my head is KILLING me. *snicker:snort* Still, Ima get you in a hat of some kind. One day. Count on it, woman. 🙂
Its good, right? Um… Im not sure who designed it, but its the house brand for Simons stores (Quebec only, perhaps) called TWIK. The fit is good. I cant believe my lady-friend gave it to me…!
Rain hats are SO useful… and all the better when adorable. Go get one!!
The image of you pulling a Kim Mitchell is making me giggle. But I agree, Tracey is rainy day perfection!
You rock that and coat! Who designed the coat?? Must. Have. One.
i should get a rain hat. i only have a massive golf umbrella which is a pain to walk with when its not raining!
You even have a rainy-day look on your face! You look, as usually, perfect. I could not do the hat. It would be totally Kim Mitchell and we don’t want any of that 😛
I love me my bucket rain hat. I hate umbrellas too. Also my Kamik rain boots. My coat is somewhat less fashionable (ahem.. borderline ugly) but it’s awesome raspberry pink to keep the grey days cheery.
Thanks Anny! The collar really is gorgeous – a shawl collar can be so swell…
A stylist? *blushes* How kind you are, lady. xox
perfect. and the collar on that trench is awesome. you should totally be a stylist, Tracey Steer ;0)
