When other people are wishing it were still Summer, I'm savoring the Fall air. But even though I love Fall, I admit that this in-between season can be difficult for planning ahead since there's always a possibility of rain, wind, or chills. Fortunately, I've got a list of things to do if you wake up to a gray morning when you expect sun.

Unless you live in a perpetually dry desert where it never rains, I bet you enjoy an occasional rainstorm pounding on your house. It's all fun and games and cozy on a Friday night, when you've got nothing to do but watch a scary movie. That is, unless you've got a leaky gutter that leaves your house with water damage.

Danny Seo recently shared a wonderful tip on his blog to keep water from rushing out of your gutters too quickly, and I had to share. "Just connect a chain to the downspout of your gutters and let the rain slowly and gently trickle all the way down the chain," he says. The softening rain chain creates a beautiful sound when the rain dances down the chain, adding a sweet musical element to your home.

Even though Summer air is so hot and humid, I still try to exercise outdoors. The other day as I set out for a run, I noticed a light sprinkle in the air; I was so relieved. Rain can definitely keep you cool, and it can also be more challenging than exercising in dry weather.

I'm still very drawn to cobalt blue, it's such a great colour and the perfect way to brighten up an outfit without it being overpowering. The great thing about the hoody that quelle is wearing is that it looks a bit like a really soft fabric pea coat! It's a great casual day outfit especially with the oversized bag. 
Dressing for rainy days is notoriously difficult but it's always a great idea to brighten up a dull day with a bright coloured outfit. Sugar reader hell00kitty did just that with her rainy day outfit. I'm now wishing my skin tone wasn't quite so pale so that I could wear such a great colour!
Here's what she's wearing:
The UK weather at the moment has gone a step passed April showers with the rain rarely letting up. Good job then that some people (including sugar reader mulatoqt) have got dressing for the rain down to a fine art. I love the shoes! 
British weather is always unpredictable but April is especially bad, particularly with the showers we're currently experiencing! Therefore, it's great to have a chic outfit for rainy days, one that won't leave you cold and wet (so no ballet pumps!)
We featured these boots earlier today so I'll start you off with a black pair of wellington boots from Burberry (£175) which are surely the chicest way to keep your toes dry.

When the ground is wet, are your pets playing in the splashy puddles or slinking around with tentative steps?
