Rain dance

I used to dread rainy days until I finally got rainboots and a waterproof jacket. Now, bring it on! How cute is this Spiewak rain jacket? I love how slim the fit is. It would be so flattering (and chic).

(From the new-to-me shop Penelope's)

I only miss rainy and cold days because of the great clothes, layers I was able to wear.

maggie said...

oui, tres chic!

Pretty Little World said...

This jacket is kind of wonderful. But then again, I've rarely met a jacket that I didn't like :)

Charlie said...

that jacket really looks great, i also love the fit :)

The Less Than Domestic Goddess said...

Oooh, I love it! It has rained a lot over the past year in L.A. Maybe I could rationalize getting one? :)

Blue Is Bleu said...

Haha I'm with you! Since I got my favourite pair of rainboots, I smile every time it rains! Like today :)

The French said...

I love this, but unfortunately they are out of my size. Blimey. Thankfully rain is a bizarre treat in LA.

Mo said...

Penelope's is awesome. It's one of my favorite stores in Chicago. And I love that jacket, a lot.

Thought this might interest you and your readers! Its about the environmentally wasteful, and cruel behavior of Anthro and UO towards their over prices vintage pieces. Instead of putting them on sale or giving them to charity…or EVEN letting employees purchase them, they are told to destroy the items (plates, clothes, furniture) in the back so that people don’t start to expect to pay less for them.

I agree. I love the slim fit of this jacket. They have always been so bulky which is why I've never bought one before!

I love rainy days! I need to get new rain boots, though.

Rachel Dangerfield said...

You're certainly right about the fit! I love love love rain, but I loathe thunderstorms. They're pretty darn scary!

C'est La Vie said...

i wish it was cheaper...

Aura said...

I've been living in my rain boots the last few weeks! We haven't started our rainy season yet, but they're perfect for trudging around in my garden. Cute, cute jacket.

SAKURA NYC said...

I own this! It's not fantastic for heavy rain...but good for sprinkling! I picked it up at Something Else in Park Slope, Brooklyn!

Lisa Golightly said...

what a gorgeous shop, love everything! thanks for the tip!

I adore rainy days when the outfit fits. And this jacket is so pretty.

amynicole said...

i was going to say that the slim chic fit is theeee best! i WANT a raincoat! i NEED one for all the rain in hawaii!!! this coat is so beautiful!

robyn michelle-lee said...

very cute and comfy! i'm a fan!

margaux said...

excellent jacket! added to my wish list!

Keri said...

Wow... So cute! Xx

Elisabeth said...

cute store and not too too expensive! I like it! Thanks for the tip.

Dancing Branflake said...

Yes! So flattering and I love that it's not black.

Giulia said...

Very nice indeed. In my current state of avoirdupois, however, 'twould not be flattering. In case anyone needs an alternative, I just bought Target's new short, vented back trench. Mine is black, there are other colors. Just bought one for a sister who is in need. Pair that with a couple of accessories I've had for years & I've been stopped several times in the last two days about it.

Anyway, happy weekend, almost-maman Jo

Emily said...

OOOO I love that coat. My rain jacket isn't as cute but living in BC it was one my best purchases.

Eone said...

I love rainy days and I miss those days a lot :)

Picnics and Peonies said...

That raincoat would be perfect for the BC rain! I love the tailored look. Not to mention a cute pair of colorful Hunters!!
Happy Weekend :)

Alejandra Ramos said...

I have an a-line trench that I really love, and totally agree that having the right rain gear makes it all seem OK. This one would look odd on me (I don't do well with coats that are supposed to be slim on the hips) but I can definitely see how it would look great on a different body type.

Color Collective said...

LOVE that rain jacket! I just bought myself a rain jacket and rain boots recently too!

Fatale Femme said...

Love this! Was considering a move to Portland from the desert, and this might be enough to convince me, lol!

Melissa Blake said...

Thanks for the shop suggestion! :)

Heidi said...

Cute, i so need to just bite the bullet and get some rain gear! I want Hunter boots but they are just so pricey!

TheBeautyFile said...

Gorgeous! I love it. What a great alternative to the trench!

Isabella Kiss said...

very nice. i love rainy days. and my spiewak jacket (not that one, mine is much more..edgey looking) is one of my favorite pieces of clothing. so fun.

mindy said...

love!! i so need this for the rainy summer days here in fl.

Katie said...

Ah I know that feeling - of course I found the perfect coat for me just as the sun started to shine. I'll be ready for next year anyway!

Kelsey said...

Penelope's is the cutest shop on Division. The gals who work there are very helpful and charming. I got the best print there by Shinzi Katoh. (And their sales are pretty rad.)

Mary said...

it took my husband almost 2 years to convince me to get a rain jacket that was actually water proof (i called other jackets my rain jackets, but turned out they absorbed water) and now i like the rain more too! :)

low carb pita bread said...

Very cute. And the color would go great with my rain boots - they have all these little colorful flowers on a navy background.

Sarah said...

Beautiful jacket. Spiewak has an amazing design aesthetic for both men and women's jackets. I found out recently that they also make another type of clothes ... police uniforms. Who knew?

battlingthedinosaurs said...

That is such a cute jacket!!!!!

firefly said...

This would be so awesome for the rainy weather we've been having!

Walter Helena said...

Cute! I live in Vancouver, so, well, it rains as often as the sun rises (although, "what sun?", we might ask).

I'm having a fine art giveaway of one of my photographs at the end of the month and would love you to drop by my blog to enter, if you'd like :)

Thanks for infusing us with your creativity!

Fern and Feather said...

oh this is so cute! I love the color.

Jill said...

Oh my goodness! This is wonderful--may even supplant my obsession with trenches...

i LOVE this jacket!

Design Darling said...

i could not love my spiewak down winter jacket any more... perfectly warm but fitted in all the right places. i'll definitely have to look into their rainwear!

Oh, I sympathize. Omegle My husband and I were working for the same company Omegle Sohbet when I was pregnant, and I can't count how many times I hauled him out of his office out to the parking Omegle Chat lot so I could have a meltdown. (because of course I couldn't do it alone, I had to have a witness and then a hug after...)
I'd much rather have Omegle that than a huge diamond! So much classier. Graham Cluley, omegle a researcher at security firm Sophos, Görüntülü Chat told BBC News that Twitter needs "much tighter control" over what users can put in a tweet to prevent similar problems in the future.
