Rain In A Warm Climate

Here in Los Angeles it so seldom rains that any amount of precipitation actually makes me happy. I love the sound of the the raindrops bouncing off to the skylights while I'm curled up with a good book and a cup of tea.

I don't even mind getting a little wet from taking the puppy out for her walk.

And for some reason, walking in the rain makes me fantasize about living in the English countryside...
And so I dress for it with these.

Hunter Wellington rain boots from Shopbop.com $115

Barbour jacket from Orvis.com

OK, so maybe I'm stuck with being a city girl with no chance in hell of living in the English countryside... but I can still dress as my if life is something out of a Nancy Mitford novel.
