Out-of-the-box ideas for the rain

What I love about the rains is shopping for all those little things that I can do without but need to buy just because they look pretty sitting on the shelves.

One such must-have is a pair of blue wedge peep-toes that comes with a chic yellow bow, available at Pink Paisley on Hill Road. These guys also stock this style in a black and red and pink and white combination.

Sadly, they were out of stock for the same style in my size. Since then, I have been dreaming about the pair, night and day. These make for compulsory buys this year, as wedge heels are a favourite with designers and celebs the world over this season.

Another must-buy are these colourful box clutches that can be used to case your sunglasses, mobile, money or even a chunky neckpiece from the rains as these are water-proof. They come in yummy colours that are perfect for colour blocking.
