I've been waiting...oh so patiently, for my first pair of Ilse Jacobsen rainboots! Not that I am willing the rain to come (because when it comes, it won't leave until next June), BUT....I can't wait to wear these! They are iconic rainboots...can't miss them when you see them, and full of uber Scandinavian cool. We are starting with the basics, tall black, and shorter beige...because I'll be honest, these aren't inexpensive, so I want to be able to wear them ALL the time. What really sold me is that if talk to anyone who owns a pair of Ilse J. boots they'll tell you they are awesome, and totally worth the splurge. If you live in a place with rain and snow for a good chunk of the year, you know that a fabulous pair of waterproof boots is essential to your feet happiness. I love that these look so cool, are so well made (100% natural rubber--apparently makes synthetic rubber look/feel as cheap as it is) and I can wear them with everything. I'm envisioning my skinny jeans, black Ilse J. boots and a big cozy cashmere sweater. My uniform.
And....don't even get me STARTED on how rad the rainjackets from Ilse are. They are technical in design, and by this I mean that the touches, quality,and tailoring are perfect, and strive to be much more than just your typical pretty raincoat. They have a sleek feel to them, are lightweight, but substantial, and the detailing is amazing.
Good enough to stash now for wear later, for sure! Signed, ME {lv}
