This presents an unforeseen conundrum- when one can not wear suede, nor spend seven days of the week in wellies, what should be worn on your feet? Fashion is not usually functional, but I intend to find a solution to this problem.
I have tried to persevere and continue to wear my favourite cognac suede wedge ankle boots, but have managed to destroy them- all thanks to trudging through the rain-soaked streets. So, too, have things taken a turn for the worst when the water line rose above the brim of my wellies. It seems I am fast running out of luck.
If you are looking for wet weather gear to see you through the far from exotic climate, you will need military precision planning- and an army of rubber.
To brave the rain-streaked streets, try these short wellies by Hunter X Rag & Bone (available here)...
...Or these rubber boots by Melissa (check out the neon flash of yellow, a key colour for the pre-spring collections), available from Shopstyle.
And, if you are looking for style and substance, look no further than my very favourite rainwear brand from the genius people behind Ilse Jacobsen. These boots (available here) come in varying heights and more colours than you can shake a soggy stick at. I have a pair in cream with black laces and I cannot begin to tell you how much I adore them. Pretty soon, you'll be praying for the wet stuff. Looks like it's not just good weather for ducks after all.

On a serious note, my thoughts are with everyone affected by the flooding. With my brother working tirelessly for HM Coastguard this past week, I have seen the damage and the knock-on effects this run of bad weather has done.
