I like combat boots as much as the next girl.

But sometimes it's fun to keep 'em guessing by ditching the punky look for something decidedly cute.

Whether trekking down the West Coast Trail, sloshing through soggy East Coast seaside or puddle jumping anywhere in-between, Vancouver, B.C.'s Gumdrops has stylish rain gear that will make it easy to fill those soggy days with silly fun!

If you're going for the feminine look, I say go girly or go home! These Rust Heart wellies will surely do the trick.

Afraid the rest of the family will get wet? Don't fret!

Gumdrops also has gear for your guy, adorable Mommy & Me sets, and stylish slickers for your four-legged friends.

Wet weather boots, coats, hats, bags, umbrellas and accessories available at Gumdrops. 

Even the undead could use a helping hand (mmm…hands!) once in a while.

If you suddenly find yourself zombified and faced with a dilemma over whether to eat brains, hunt the living or moonwalk, just use the classic spinner technology on this handy What Would A Zombie Do? Spin Folder for easy decision making.

Because we all know zombies can sometimes be a little slow. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Ready to send your wee one's sense of style sky-high?

Let Blue Sky Rocket jet your tot to a world where kids are treated like the stars they are!

Blue Sky Rocket is the super-shop when it comes to cool gear for you little guy or gal, with bags, clothing, accessories and even goodies for Mom!

Compiling an impressive roster of the hippest kid-friendly indie designers, shop owner Stacy Conway, along with a slew of style savvy woodland creatures, has hand-picked gear so cool, you'll wish you were a kid again.

With some of my fave indie designers, like Tiny Tales & Susie Ghahremani, as well as some new discoveries like Go Goose Go, who make hip hand-screened t-shirts for babies and kids, like this Early Bird Natural Onesie, Blue Sky Rocket lets kids soar to the top of the best-dressed list.

Every gal has a weapon or two in her makeup arsenal. Now you'll have a definitive advantage when you arm yourself with this double-barreled instrument of color.

The name of Revlon's new Marble-ous Match Liner/Shadow Duo says it all.

Presented in 5 high-impact shades, each wand has a marbleized eyeliner to rim your eyes, and on the other end, a crème eye shadow that complements your eyes and the aforementioned liner in metallic hues.

The names of the shades are great, too - Sassy Brassy, Set The Nude, Made For Jade, Orchid You Not, and Steel-ing Beauty.  Lovely, lovely, lovely!

And just the thing for the fashionista who loves to create her own personal palette by blending, smudging and layering color.

OK - fess up.  The first time you saw Crocs, you thought they were oh-so-cute and you could totally picture yourself wearing the pink pair with your white sundress to summer picnics & weekend barbecues.

That is - until you went to your best friend's cottage and saw all the townies sporting a pair, each in their own respective color as if they were Heather Duke, Heather McNamara, and Heather Chandler in, well…Heathers.

From then on, you hated the very sight of them, and vowed never to slip your toes into a pair of those clown shoes - not ever! 

Well, you better be prepared to alter your convictions, because Crocs have a line of ballet slippers that will give your tootsies a more feminine silhouette - even if in a month's time you will be forced to wear them only in the comfort of your own backyard because, once again, every one and their mother will own a pair.  At least you can say you knew them when…
