Hiiiiiiiiyyyyya Spring You Look Pretty Today

Courtesy of capricious weather, melted hellish snow and a resurrected sun, New York has vibrated into spring. I cannot tell you how many times I've landed ankle up in a mud slushie. Being the solution-based woman I am, I figured I should invest in a rain boot. During, my quest for a useful, yet stylish rain boot I found there are very few size 11s and up---are we really surprised? That's the name of the shoe game. Thus, I have included a rain boot shopping guide for women sizes 10 and up. A few selections are on sale.

My first suggestion would be these cuties by Kamik. If you are in a bootie kind of mood--which I totally am-- then Kamik's short rain boots my be the perfect fit for you. In addition, they come in a plethora of colors like fire truck red, baby boy blue and canary yellow. I truly believe rain boots should be a pop of contrasting color instead of a complementary color. Even though I am a fan of monochromatic attire, lately I've been leading with a polychromatic foot. Plus, a contrasting rain boot will bring attention to your fab shoes.

Extended-sizes available: 10 & 11

For a quick, go-to business rain boot try Tretorn rain boots. Once modeled by Natalie Portman, Tretorn's Plasik Mids retail for $100.

Extended-sizes available: 41 (US 10) & 42 (US 11)

Ralph Lauren tends to get my soul, no kidding. I love the "happy" in this rain bootie, like the pigmented pink color and the navy blue elastic gore. The price is reasonable as well, $59.

Extended-size availability: 11

Bogs rain boots have character and sense of personality, a cool $85.

Extended-size availability: 10, 11, 12

Native Shoes are a effortless and light shoe brand. Their shoes are architecturally gratifying for me. Something about the shape and fabrication translates into airy. They run for $90.
