I've always loved my wellington boots, maybe because they gave me more freedom as a child... with wellies on I was allowed in puddles, mud, beaches in the winter, rock pools, playing in fields, generally being outside I guess. Plus I felt they made me look a bit more like Paddington bear/ wonder woman (they were red).
Not much has changed, I still feel like I'm going to have an adventure when I wear my Hunters, even better when you need to wear them in the summer with a little dress I feel like I'm six again.
However, not everyone wants to look like they are ready for a festival, just because it's pouring with rain does not mean we all need to don our boots and splash about in puddles (tell me you are not tempted right now), there is a fabulous alternative...Melissa!
The Brazilian brand has exploded globally, thanks to their partnership with Vivienne Westwood and the variety of styles means there is something for everyone flip flops, ballet pumps, heels & cowboy boots all in bubble gum scented plastic, what's not to love? Ok, you might get wet feet in some styles, but you never have to worry about ruining them in the rain!
