I don’t know what it’s like in your corner of the world, but here in England the sun does not want to put his hat on. Instead, the weather is choosing to be grey and drizzly each day and the pavements are embellished with glistening puddles. While I wait for spring to make it’s sunny return (spring, if you’re reading, I’d love that to be soon if you could possibly manage it), these are my favourite ways to find cheer when skies are grey:
Lulu Guinness birdcage umbrella, scarlet Hunter wellingtons, Benefit PosieTint, Burberry trench coat.
What are your favourite ways to cheer up rainy days?
Love, Miss B xx

Here in New York City we’ve had beautiful spring weather but this Sunday rain has fallen non-stop. In that case I usually comfort myself by cozying up at home and lighting my favorite candles by Diptyque, Cire Trudon and The Hype Noses.

Living in Rome, rainy days are to me as precious as the sunny ones in London. Like you,I like to go out in trench and wellies and enjoy them. Although, I’m not sure I’d love rain this much if I had to deal with it almost everyday, like Brits do.. Hope spring will be back soon for you (and your bow heels) to enjoy!

Ugh, it’s the same in California! Spring, I second that motion!
Pauline says
In Brisbane, Australia, the weather couldn’t be better. Autumn is a wonderful season here and I just love to get outside and garden my days away. Warm days and cool nights! MMMMM!! Don’t even need my Wellies! Yee Haa!
TheOnlineStylist says
Definitely need this post to inspire with another week of rain ahead – gorgeous! And I love the scene at the end of Breakfast At Tiffanys where Holly Golightly is searching for Cat in the pouring rain. I also have a tip for happy time in the rain – take a Small Child along for jumping in puddles…never fails! xxx
Maria says
I love the pink Hunter wellies I am in need of a new pair, and fresh flowers in the house always make me smile. Great inspiration on another wet day!
Natalie says
Love the post… weather’s awful isn’t it!

Loving the “wrap yourself in a cute trench and pretend you’re Holly Golightly” step! Too cute! I hope the sun decides to make an appearance soon!

I can 100% agree with you. The Sun really isn’t playing ball at the moment here either (Surrey). But at least my wellies are getting some good use.

I just love this!! Perfect thing to turn this rainy day upside down ๐
Elle says
My favourite thing to do on a rainy day is put on the biggest, fluffiest, jumper I can find, and cuddle up on the couch with a mug of coffee or a good book! ๐
Btw, I love the way you write! You manage to make even rainy days seem pretty.
Katherine says
You make rainy days seem so delightful! Singin’ in the Rain is one of my favourite movies of all time ๐
Wee Birdy says
What lovely sunshiney things to make a rainy day sparkle. I love the umbrella and Singing in the Rain! xx

This is a great post! I’m absolutely fed up of the constant weeks of rain over here in England, it’s so annoying! I really like your blog, it would be nice if you could stop by my blog sometime too ๐ ๐

I love your sense of femininity and positivity in combating the rainy weathers!!! It has been raining heavily over here as well, along with lightening and thunder!!! ARghhh…..
But these tips will definitely come in handy. I agree with the brolly, i always look for stylish and pretty brollies which i always find a tad bit silly as it’s just to hide under the rain but whatever makes you happy eh? lol
Believe it or not, i do not own a pair of wellies and i so need to do something about that! I saw some people wearing heeled wellies but i really think it’s crazy, in the safety sense.
I see a lot of bloggers who buy flowers and i’ve seen you displaying yours beautifully in your blog posts too, yet some how i never get around in doing it. I hope to be doing this every now and then as well to brighten up any blue days!!!
And the last tip on your list, a good old movie at home while tucked under your duvet is always the best!!!=D
Thanks for the inspiration,Miss. B!!!!!! Hope you’re having a fab – non rainy weekend!!! ๐
