The Tokidoki Spin on Rain Boots

Heather Kuldell — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 19:05:00 GMT

I can’t explain the appeal of Tokidoki: You love it or you don’t. Tokidoki prints are usually collages of Japanese-inspired characters that generally encompass whatever piece of apparel they appear on. These Chooka Disco Kid’s Rain Boots are no exception. The boots feature many familiar characters -- like Sandy and Adios -- and a black trim. I presume they'll keep lil' feet dry, but when they look this cute, does that even matter? A pair will set you back $60 on the Tokidoki site, and there's a Leopard version.

Puddlejump with Pluie Pluie Rain Boots

Heather Kuldell — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 14:33:00 GMT

Summer thunderstorms usually come and go quickly, but the puddles hang out. Somehow, they become as appealing as pools on a hot day, so slip a pair of Pluie Pluie Rain Boots on your lil divers before they hop into the deep end.

Two big hoops on each boot help slip them on and off, even when they get muddy. I dig the blue stripes, but Pluie Pluie also makes a pink-striped version as well as other patterns.

Available at Belly Dance Baby for $29.

Mosey Around with Western Chief Kids’ Cowboy Umbrella

Heather Kuldell — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 13:04:00 GMT

I thought spring showers brought May flowers, not summer showers bringing ... well, I’d prefer flowers, but in our neck of the woods, they bring hungry ol’ mosquitoes. I’m still figuring out an effective way to fend off the buggies, but we can handle the rain. To prep for sudden showers, we’ve stashed umbrellas in cars, in the house, at work, anywhere we can. Though no one really complains during a downpour, it’s nice to have a kid-sized ‘brella, like Western Chief Kids’ Cowboy Umbrella.

It’s got the retro-Western feel that Howdy Doody would appreciate with a bucking bronco, horseshoes, stars and a rope decorating it’s brown nylon fabric. If you’re really into it, you can spring for the matching rain boots and rain coat.

Available at Endless.com for $19.95.

Leigh-Ann Jackson — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 14:00:00 GMT

During rainy spells (such as the one trouncing L.A. lately), those preschool cubby holes can become a maelstrom of mess. Umbrellas, rain slickers, galoshes and such are thrown about hastily upon arrival and heaven help the grown-up who's charged with sorting it out come departure time. The who's who and what's what gets a bit easier thanks to these rubber boots with built-in name tags on the sides of each pair. "My Boot" also features a cotton lining and reflective strips for night walks.
