Virtual Barbie is Covered in Cupcakes

Although I doubt an actual edible cupcake has ever touched Barbie's lips, she CAN indulge (or at least her virtual, kid-sized self can) in tasty cupcakes from head to toe with Hatley's Kids Cupcakes rain gear.

The umbrella is waterproof nylon with wooden tip and handle and has a child-safe design. The raincoat is fully lined with snuggly terry, has deep pockets and a full snap front. The full visibility hood ensures your sweetie can see all around her. The Latex-free rain boots have side pulls to allow easy on and off, the cotton jersey lining wicks away moisture while the non-skid soles keeps her from slip-sliding away while she's jumping in puddles.

From head to toe, this is one deliciously adorable outfit.

Women's Ladybug and Frogs Boots Have Returned

This February Marks the Return of Western Chief Women's Ladybug and Frog Rain Boots

Western Chief Women's Frog Rain Boots $39.95

Western Chief Women's Ladybug Rain Boots $39.95

These charming creatures have always been two of the most popular styles of wellies DLL Rainwear has carried. We even 'commissioned' Western Chief to make Men's Frog boots and they, too, literally jumped off our warehouse shelves. There was a collective sigh of sadness among people of all ages when the manufacturer chose to discontinue the women's versions of these puddle stompers a few years back.


Now all you lovers of ladybugs and frogs can click your rubber-clad heels because as of February, DLL Rainwear will be getting a limited supply of both Women's Ladybug and Frog boots in sizes 5 through 11. We are accepting pre-orders on our website at the links above.


A children's version of the Ladybug boots are currently available as is a kid's Frog umbrella. Sadly, the Men's Frogs are still unavailable but maybe someday soon, they will make a comeback.


Order a pair (or two) for yourself as well as for all your fellow Ladybug lovers and Froggie fanatics. Then, go outside and Puddle Stomp in Style!  

The Birds and the Flowers

I like birds. And flowers. (And bees, but this is a G-rated blog so we'll leave out the bees.) Alas, I am much too big to be able to wear this adorable outfit. But for those of you lucky enough to have little girls, this Hatley "Birds and Flowers" rainwear set is really, really cute. Show it to grandma...the holidays are coming up!!

Bazooka Dress

This dress is made entirely of Bazooka gum wrappers.

And what kind of shoes does one wear with a Bazooka Gum wrapper dress?

Why, gumboots, of course!

Okay that's bad but I just couldn't resist.

Timewarp Whiplash

I am not a huge fan of fashions that come back in style. Normally, in my opinion at least, it is a very good thing that most clothing fads die. Once a fashion becomes a Halloween costume, that should tell you something.

Case and point:

There is ~nothing~ good about ANYTHING you see here.

I mean really....not much about 80s fashion was worth repeating, yet look around you. It's all back. Skinny jeans? High waisted pants? Neon colors? Leg warmers? Members Only jackets?

Um, yea.

No.

Seriously.

No.

Same goes for the 60s and 70s. Bell bottoms? Gah!

But I will make an exception for these bad-ass Hippie Peace boots by Chooka.

Retro? Yes. But pretty d@mn killer too. These I give my hand stamped seal of approval.

Just saying in case anyone really gives a high-waisted, big-belted, skinny-jeaned, Members Only cr@p.

The Fricken Addictin' License Plate Game

My latest addiction is the license plate game. Not the one where you look for plates from different states (how rhyme-y am I?) but the one where you find multiples of numbers and letters in consecutive groupings. Like double, triple, or the rare quadruple numbers.

I find myself driving alone yelling out, "Double 3! Triple 5! OH! MY! GOD! A QUADRUPLE 9!!"

It is truly sad yet strangely satisfying...and amazingly dangerous.

Cuz I'm only scouring the road for numbers on license plates. Not red lights, Lucy Lane Changers or pedestrians.

Yeah, not good. Not good at all.

And if that isn't bad enough? I am a plate pusher. I've gotten other people addicted. Which is probably exactly what I've done by posting this blog.

Dammit. (Double M!)
