A. Wellies, rain boots, puddle jumpers, rubbahs -- whatever you call them, they're the slickest way to cover your feet -- and look chic -- when the rain comes pouring down. They're so cute, in fact, that you'll be tempted to wear them even when it's not raining.

Long worn as gardening and rain boots in the Europe, they made a splash onto the fashion scene stateside last year with Switzerland-based designer Tamara Henriques' bright and colorful line -- who better to know rain boots than a girl trudging through the Alps! You can score them in plaid prints, argyle, stripes, hearts, polka dots, and even toile, at oliveandbettes.com ($118) or vivre.com ($115). You can also pick up a pair in navy stripes or paisley at garnethill.com ($100), or opt for ankle-high boots instead of the full knee-high ones ($88). Bargain-hunting gals should check out New York-based ohalloranco.com, where you'll find the same boots in many of the same fun prints for $78-$96. Free market, people!

When raindrops keep falling on your head, motor on over to let-it-rain.com. Here you'll find the quirkiest boots of all: frog boots ($39.50). Bright green, with the tips resembling frog faces, your style choice will certainly make many people smile on a rainy day.

Preppy gals will kick through puddles with glee in jcrew.com's printed wellies. Choose from bright yellow boots covered in bees (my fave!), turquoise boots with dogs, navy boots with terriers, or just plain army green boots in camo ($48).

Urbn.com has a few puddle jumpers in candy apple hues and floral aqua prints ($28), as well as rain boots in kelly green, sky blue, and bubblegum pink ($14.99).

Smithandhawken.com serves up vibrant orange-striped boots ($49) and traditionally tall British wellies in can't-miss red ($62).

And you certainly can't beat shoes.com for their free shipping and free return shipping plus their lowest-price guarantee - -what's a girl to lose in that scenario, other than all of her hard-earned money... But I digress. It's hard not to love the retro-inspired Jeffrey Campbell boots ($55) and Penny Loves Kenny boots ($49) in leopard and fun graphics. Or, if you're more of a keep-it-simple fashionista, scope out the solid-hued options in fuchsia, black, or brown by On Your Feet ($37).

Whatever your choice, you're sure to make a splash and brighten a rainy day!
