It's Raining, It's Pouring

I never equated summer with rain until I moved to the East Coast, but Brooklyn has seen its fair share of thunderstorms in the past few days. If you're like me, you always forget your umbrella when it's going to rain. Maybe if my boring black umbrella hadn't been purchased from a man outside the subway in a torrential downpour, I would be more likely to remember to bring it with me. Here are a few umbrellas that you'll be excited to use.

Marimekko Unikko Red Umbrella at FinnStyle

Senz Storm-Proof Umbrella at Unicahome

Clear Dots Bubble Umbrella by Totes at amazon.com

Pantone Umbrella at Moma

In the fall and spring, our front hallway often looks like an umbrella graveyard. Prevent this by making good use of an umbrella stand:

That first one is the umbrella I already have! I love it...it's so darn happy. But now I'm lusting after the Pantone umbrella.

Meg, if you were like me, you would need both because you would always leave one somewhere other than your house...

You know, maybe I need one to keep in the office, just in case...
