April Showers: Umbrella Shopping

By -
When I went to Italy, I loved getting caught in the rain. The umbrella salesman seemed to sprout from the cobblestone as soon as the first few raindrops dropped. Sadly, Italian umbrella salesman don't pop up everywhere rain falls down so we have to come prepared with our own umbrellas. The upside is we get to pick out really cute ones when we buy before the rain comes.Pictured:
Critter Owl Umbrella, Target, $16.99
Polka Dot Umbrella, pare*umbrella, $65
Monet Waterlilies Umbrella, Raindrops, $45
Venice Umbrella, Cool Stuff Express, $19.99

Italian Lace Umbrella, The Met Store, $20
Clear Bubble Umbrella, Target, $16.99
Scenic Paris Umbrella, Raindrops, $125
Spring Yard Pagoda Umbrella, pare*umbrella, $80

"You Can Wear It Again"

One of my college roommates sent me a book called You Can Wear It Again: A Celebration of Bridesmaids' Dresses by Meg Mateo Ilasco. I must admit I uttered those words to my bridesmaids. The best burgundy fabric we could find was a butterfly brocade, so we ended up making Chinese-style tops (no strapless, backless bra required) and gold skirts. My roommate (on the right) actually wore the top until the zipper died, so maybe I wasn't quite as delusional at these other brides.

The pictures in "You Can Wear It Again" can be a whole lot of fun with a gabby group of girl friends. I plan to cover the pictures in snarky post-it notes and pass it to becca (who will not make me wear satin polka dots and a floppy hat) to do the same. When it makes its way through all our friends, we'll have a great collection of comments.
