The Question:

Where can I find cute, all-weather shoes that still make me feel like a girl?

The Answer:

Waterproof shoes in cute shapes are indeed hard to come by. I'm into performance-based technology and generally don't bother trying to mix business with pleasure when it comes to getting dressed so I wear my

Eight Inch L.L. Bean boots

I also weatherproof my leather boots with a waterproofing spray before each winter season in the event that I do get caught in the rain.
