How To Be Fabulous In The Rain
I saw Melissa McEwen's tweet that she'd ordered this ladybug umbrella for kids for her 20-year-old sister, and I got inspired. I love umbrellas.
Here are a few fab ones I found on Amazon for not a lot of dollars: Parisian Pagoda Parasol Umbrella and Pagoda Style Rain or Sun Parasol Umbrella
.
I've had one of these -- MoMA Sky Umbrella -- for years, but it's a little pricey at $58. (It is also very good quality and has lasted for over 10 years -- then again, I live in Southern California and rain is sort of a novelty.) And to go with, what else? The Umbrellas of Cherbourg
, with Catherine Deneuve.







This one's cheaper :)

Indeed it is. It's a cheapo copy of the one I have. The MOMA original is thick cotton canvas and has a wooden handle and long, metal-tipped wood piece coming out of the top and it's lasted for years.
