dav Rain Gear {GIVEAWAY}

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Has this nasty winter weather left you feeling a fashion rut? Depending on how you look at it, some might say we’ve been lucky enough to miss all of the mid-Atlantic snow this season {I, on the other hand, would LOVE some snow}…  That said, we’ve certainly seen our fair share of rain down here in the Southeast these past few months, and I now have some fabulous new dav rain boots to sport on those cold,wet days!

dav was created out of necessity; yet to be an all-inclusive high fashion rain gear & accessories company out there, dav has come along and filled that niche.  dav offers fashionable rain boots, umbrellas and handbags for women, as well as a fabulous collection of kids gear as well {more to come on the kids stuff in a future review}.

Their rain boot collection simply blows me away!  With dozens of styles & colors to choose from, they truly have something for everyone.  I received a sample of the pair in the first image above & they look great with just about any outfit!  The legs are wide enough to go over your pants, but look equally as good under them.  dav offers boots with or without a heel, so those of you who wouldn’t be caught dead in flats can feel comfortable wearing dav & vice versa for all my non-heel sisters!  Not a rain boot kind of girl?  That’s ok too.  dav also makes weather-resistant rain pumps, sneakers & cowgirl boots!

So now that I’ve convinced you on how fabulous their boots are, don’t forget to check out the amazing assortment of dav umbrellas and handbags while you’re on the site as well!  I just love this star umbrella; so different & unique!

For those of you that live in year-round wet climates, these water proof rain hand bags should be an essential staple in your wardrobe, along with the boots and umbrella.

We’re so excited that dav has generously offered to give away one pair of the boots pictured at the top!  Once a winner’s name is drawn, we’ll get your size & the boots will be on their way!

To enter, we need you to tell us what your favorite dav rain boot, umbrella or handbag design is.  Check out their site for all the fabulous choices, then come back and comment here.

PRIMROSE RUBY

PRIMROSE RUBY

 This shoulder bag holds so much!  I was impressed with it when I was able to pack it full with 2 bottles, my uptown diaper clutch, cell phone, digital camera, burp cloth, bottle of water for me and of course my wallet and lip gloss! 

The two inside pockets are wide and deep, the two outside pockets are perfect for your cell so you don’t have to dig for it.  I love the ruby color with the gold, perfect fall colors,  here it is in brown.
