Hayden Harnett bathing suit

Rainy day loves – Hayden Harnett browsing, Amy Winehouse, and chicken soup

October 6, 2009

I guess I should get used to rainy days – yes London does live up to its stereotype of overcast or drizzly days. But the meandering cobblestone streets and bright window flower boxes remain picturesque from our flat. I’m fine walking in the rain because my wellingtons prevent me from kicking up water all over myself as usual! The only time I started to question the appropriateness of these boots was when my old manager told me his 10-year old daughter had a similar pair.

Hmm, I really hope my other fashion choices aren’t that of a tween.

So I start with some favorite gray day activities – shopping, listening to music, and cooking something warm and reminiscent of home.

I was lucky to get a sneak peek at Hayden Harnett’s Spring summer clothing collection. Here are some favorites. They have some lovely coats next season – casual, cool and versatile.

Finally, a rainy day is a mellow time that calls for some classic, mellow Amy Winehouse.
Please clean yourself up Amy – you can really turn out some great stuff!

Stay cozy chicas.

    Oh I need to get myself some new rainboots…. it’s the ridiculous the amount of rain we get!
    The polka dot ones are so simple and cute 🙂

    We’ve still got quite a few months before autumn/winter really kicks in, but I have my eye on Hayden Harnett’s coat you have posted up.
