I have an unexplainable love for rain boots, one that seems silly considering the fact that I haven’t owned a pair since I was in preschool. But they’re so pretty! And water resistant! And those two things rarely go together in clothing. The rain boots from Plueys combine some preppie pieces with a dash of kitsch and a sprinkle of anime brightness.

The trial of Josef Fritzl- the Austrian man that kept his daughter locked in a basement for 24 years- began today. Fritzl is charged with incest, rape, coercion, false imprisonment, enslavement and murder. He today pled guilty ot the first four charges but is denying the latter two.
