* Chic Umbrellas *



Pasotti Gold Flowers Umbrella $300




Tumi Python Umbrella $50






Francesco Maglia Stripes Umbrella $190





Fulton Birdcage Bubble Umbrella $30







Jean Paul Gaultier Leather-look Square Umbrella $225






Hermes Umbrella $435







Tiffany Teal Parasol $50





Chantal Thomass Clock Umbrella $100


The only time I really don't mind the rain is when I can bundle up on the couch with my husband and doggies and watch movies by the fire. Inevitably, I must weather the storm and go out in it ...and when I do, I grab one of these. The Tumi one to be exact.

Luckily I live in Los Angeles where not only does it rain infrequently, we drive everywhere so time spent in and/or under the rain drops is usually only getting in and out of said car ...which usually means that bringing an umbrella is just a hassle. ;) But I love all of these.

My Mom gives me umbrella's every year- and I never use them. I should but, where do you put them at college?

These umbrellas are lovely!
Well..I know Hermes is fabulous, but I can't imagine ever shelling out 435 for an umbrella..well, I can't imagine having 435 dollar..haha.
Love your blog!

LifestyleBohemia said...

Really cute choices! Considering I go through multiple umbrellas every year, I cant imagine buying anything more than a generic totes.
But if I was a rich girl.....

TeeTee said...

Cute!
Hey, you're featured on my blog... come check it out!

These are great! I definitely need to invest in a new umbrella, considering that where I currently live is known for dreary, wet weather. Love the clear bubble one and the Tiffany's teal parasol! Great post! Thanks!

Milly said...

Oh my lord- I love them all! My poor crumpled (and broken) black Totes umbrellas need a replacement. Like you lovely people in LA, us Atlantans also spend most of our time in our cars- and when we finally broke out of our draught this year, none of us could even remember how to drive in the rain. We're getting back into the swing of things ;)

Lisa said...

Super cute! I love the light blue one.

LENORENEVERMORE said...

The Hermes should be lined with cashmere for the price no?!
Hope you are enjoying your Sunday, beautiful! xo*

ArtificialSweetener said...

I really like your blog and am extremely jealous of your lovely locks!!!

Maria @ Chicisimo said...

The Hermes one is my favorite... why is it the most expensive one:)?

Joan said...

Clear umbrellas are the best!!!

Meghan said...

That JPG umbrella makes me want it. And then want rain. Almost.

Kristin said...

Ohhhhh, the stripes. Class act.

Dooder City said...

just because it rains doesn't mean you can't be stylish

Cathy Voyage said...

jamie clare said...

Cute umbrellas! I don't like the rain, but I have lived in a lot of rainy places, so I'm used to it. Last March, I flew to LA to meet up with my sister, who was job searching at the time. Unfortunately, it rained the whole weekend. Her friends cancelled everything we had planned. They told her to get used to it, that LA closes down in the rain. Finally, we gave up and moved our fun to Las Vegas!

Monique said...

I have a clear one like the bird cage one and it is awesome, especially for people with long hair because you can put it over your head all the way and still see where you are going.

Lisa said...

They are all so cute! Almost too pretty to use!

Jaime said...

So chic! I have a clear one like that one you featured- it's the best but a bit large to carry around.

clairelynette said...

I'm partial to The Brelli. www.thebrelli.com. I think it will come in handy for these rainy days here in Louisiana. BTW, I think you're blog is great!

Fashion&Such said...

cuddling up inside when it's raining is deffo nice :)
these umbrella's are gorgeous!
it's crazy how i've never really had one for myself :/

The New Black said...

I love the birdcage one! Living in 'the land of rain' I have tons of umbrellas, but we never really use them...

anhesty said...

oooo loves the big birdcade one!

Kjrsten said...

love love love the clear bird cage! and the tiffany teal is a close second!

Pretty Little World said...

I love that Tiffany Teal one -- the color would be so lovely on an overcast day!

Hanako66 said...

I kind of love the bubble one. Isn't it the worst driving in the rain? CA drivers get so retarded when it is wet!

a moment i treasure said...

i love thunderstorms. but at the rate i lose umbrellas, or leave them somewhere, i can't spend any money on them. ;) i LOVE the gold flowers one though.

Glamour Bbey said...

I want the second one!

drollgirl said...

i loved the striped one and the jpg one! and rain isn't so bad when cuddled up at home. :)

FashionAddict said...

Gotta love a cute umbrella! Marry Poppins would be proud ;)

down and out chic said...

the seafoam colored umbrella is calling my name.

Chessa! said...

I adore fun umbrellas but I'm always afraid I'm going to lose them. I have a couple of really fabulous ones that sit in my closet but usually I'm a plain black kind of gal:) the weather can be so bad here in the winter that I just want to take a crappy umbrella bc they break with the wind...

Hope you have a lovely week!

Take care

Felicia said...

My friend custom makes very cute umbrellas! I wish I could attach a picture here to show you!

Elizabeth Marie said...

I suck with the umbrellas. In LA...you know how it is. But they're so cute.

Dazzledust25 said...

This is such a great post. I love them all. People don't really see umbrella's as an accessory. I live in Ireland and it rains most of the time so a chic umbrella is essential. Thanks for posting this :)
