* The “Laura” Urban Laura is a beacon of calm in the chaos of everyday living. She reminds us what is important – health, happiness and helping others. Her easygoing vibe inspired the GumDrops Urban. The sleek and slim fitting coat is waterproof and breathable. It is playful, practical and effortlessly chic, just like Laura.
** The “Liz” Trench Liz is a woman on the go. She always has places to go and people to see, and is the inspiration for the GumDrops Classic Trench, a very stylish multi-tasker. This breathable, waterproof coat takes Liz effortlessly from walking the dog, to the office, to a night on the town-rain or shine!
Made in Canada on the “Wet” Coast.
I realize it’s still technically summer, but as soon as the PNE begins I know fall is just around the corner and that means the rain is coming!!!! It also means GumDrops is bringing in new styles of boots to embrace the liquid sunshine….
We just got the new Michael Kors rain boot; it totally resembles the Frye boot but it’s in rubber! They are so fierce and kick-ass; I feel like riding a Harley!
We also have more of the legendary Hunters; new colours for the season include White and the Lava Gloss-same style as the Original but in a high gloss finish guaranteed to stand out from the crowd. Hunter has also introduced the Regent; this equestrian-inspired boot combines style and comfort and with the Neoprene lining provides extra warmth during those damp chilly days.
I seriously cannot wait for the rain to return so I can puddle jump in style!
The Turquoise Bullet
I came across a blog on the impact rain could have on the Burrard Bridge bike lane. I wonder if the rain will keep commuters off their bikes? Speaking of bikes, I recently bought one; it’s a classic cruiser in turquoise with pink polka dots. I decked it out with a basket and streamers so I definitely will stand out when I’m on the bike lane. Actually I am getting rid of my car in November and will be commuting everywhere on two wheels so I am curious to see the amount of bicyclists riding all through the soggy days of fall. At least I will be prepared for the rain with my many pairs of boots and the new raincoat I designed for the store- it’s totally waterproof, breathable and lightweight- perfect for riding a bike!
Pedal Power
While watching the coming attractions before Sasha Baron Cohen’s latest film Bruno (not for the faint hearted), I saw a preview for Taking Woodstock, a comedy about how the iconic music festival began and it got me thinking about all our present day outdoor music festivals, the free living 70′s and how much of a contrast it is to the fast paced, instant gratification, jet fueled time we live in today!!!! Now inspired to feel the spirit, I did a little searching of our local festivals….as goes the way of the web I got completely sidetracked and stumbled upon the Glastonbury Music Festival (not quite at our back door), but a killer five day festival none the less, held every year at Worthy Farm in Somerset, England. The inaugural year began in 1970, the day after Jimi Hendrix died. Woodstock eat your heart out!!!
This year’s line up includes Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga and the newly reunited Blur, wishing I was there to experience the crazy chaos of the event, I attended the festival in my own virtual world of the internet and found some sweet photos of celebrities and random cuties wearing my favorite all time accessory and the must have accessory for mucking around the grassy mud pits of the festival grounds….rain boots!!!(or as they say in the UK, wellies!!!)
So for all of those out there who poopoo rain boots I say take a look at these wellies and tell me you are not a convert! I just might make the trek to Glastonbury in 2010 with my duckie yellow Hunters….until then PEACE OUT!!
