Find Me Glam Wellies!
"Ms S, I crave a wellington boot that is glamorous and blends with my vintage-chic winter coat. I've searched high and low but all I find are hideous fluorescent patterned numbers or floral hell. As an extra challenge, im slightly more well endowed in the calf department so slim fitting wellies are a no-no. The heel would need to be a typical welly-sized heel as I need to walk to work (2 miles!)" - Lou
First of all I'm sure you've tried Hunter, who are like the Manolo of wellies, as worn by every model to ever visit a music festival. I also found some good styles by Tretorn at WellieArt for £45. The girly lipstick ones would set off black and white a treat, while the 'American Sweetheart' ones come emblazoned with a Vargas-esque illustration. They're printed, but not so crazy as some of the Pucci-like styles around. Faux fur trimmed wellies are very Marc Jacobs but will set you back a little less at £35 from Funky Wellington Boots. And finally if none of these float your boat, the girls at I Am Fashion did a great post on rain shoes.

I usually hate these type of boots...but those faux fur ones are adorable!

I realize there's typically a lot of rain in the UK, so are wellies extremely popular or only chic in certain crowds? I was just wondering, because you just don't see them here in the US (in stores, yes. On bodies, no). Lovingly, ~H

I wouldn't say they're particularly popular over here for everyday wear, but over the last couple of years they've definitely become more popular as the bright patterned ones have appeared all over the high street.

They are just really practical for me as I walk to work and in Scotland, the weather can get really bad. Yes, I do walk to work in heels, and yes, the last time it rained really badly my beautiful red high-heels got runied, not to mention my feet were soaked! eww!

actually I saw some Isacc Miserati (sorry I have no idea how to spell his name..) online at Target last year. I thought they looked really neat. But I wouldn't really know where to wear them.

Well here in deep rural England we girls wear wellies wear plain wellies as a practical guard against the mud and rain. We leave the fancy "silly" ones to the City girls and rock fest wannabes
