Sunday's rain gave way to sunshine, but not before I had a chance to run around Union Square in my rain boots. They make rainy days so much more bearable and they still get compliments everywhere they go. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for my favorite umbrella. After 6 years of service, it finally crapped out on me (and not gracefully, either).
My search for a replacement turned into a major fail - I never thought I could be so picky about an umbrella! The musts? A cane handle, extra large coverage, cheerful print to keep away those somber rainy day thoughts, wind-proof and smooth open/close operation! That's all!
Are you geared up for the rainy days this season? Any umbrella searching tips you can offer yours truly?
I can't give umbrella tips because I always lose them or leave them at restaurants. However, that coat is truly fantastic. You look more than ready for less than desirable weather!

Always stylish, even on a gloomy Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI love those TB rain boots. Do they run larger than normal shoes sizes?
ReplyDeletethose rain boots are too cute and i love the TB logo on the side! unfortunately the only umbrella i have is one i bought overseas from several years ago. it's technically a sun umbrella but it's so cute i use it as my rain umbrella!

omg ive been dying for those rainboots! but once I moved out of the east bay, I didn't think I needed more than one pair of designer rain boots! those look like riding boots though..for sure!
ReplyDeleteThose boots are to die for! I own about 6 umbrellas but I always seem to forget them when it's actually raining out! I got my favourite umbrella from a small boutique in China Town, Ottawa.

ReplyDeleteI don't own any umbrellas anymore since I can never remember to bring them anywhere, will be following the comments to get some advice since it's time I invest in one.

Love the sweater and the boots. What a bummer about your umbrella! Try looking at J.Crew's selection... I've had one from there for about four years now. It has a wooden cane handle and has seen me through some strong gusts of wind.
ReplyDeleteOk, I have always wished I had a Zara somewhere nearby, but that sweater has cemented my Zara lust. It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeletethose rain boots are fab! i love your finds from zara, you look so cute for a rainy day!
ReplyDeleteBummer 'bout the 'brella :( I'm at a loss for advice :(
ReplyDeleteAnd OOH LA LA look at those boots!! TRES CHIC mademoiselle!!

ReplyDeleteLove your snuggly outfit! As for umbrellas and great prints, you can't beat the ones from the MET museum store (though they are not the handle that you want).
ReplyDeleteI love your blog, so I'll share my best kept secret with you : this is what brightenes my day when it's cloudy :)
