Style Op 
by: Shellie Park

Here comes the rain! A positive way to look at it is that it opens up a whole new realm of fashion possibilities: the raincoat, an umbrella and, of course, boots. One sure fire way to help combat all of this liquid sunshine is to invest in some rain boots. Personally, I'm not a big fan of rubber boots, but when I saw Elise in her "wellies", I totally changed my mind. I like how she paired them with an oversized sweater and a quilted bag. This is a perfect example of fashion meets function, without being boring. Some new items that Elise might consider investing in are:

Aigle Ecuyer boot $189. Available at Club Monaco or aigleboots.co.uk

Leather and wool coat $1390. Available at Ports 1961 Vancouver or ports1961.com

Madison Leather Sophia Satchel $365. Available at Coach or coach.com
