Under My Umbrella...ella

Hi everyone, hope you've had a wonderful week.

 I have always been fascinated with fun and quirky umbrellas. They can be amazingly eye catching on a dull and cold rainy day. Speaking of rainy days, the red umbrella I'm holding below served me well in a very unexpected downpour on a 30 degree day in New York City. I was travelling around the Garment District sourcing trims for work that day as I quickly escaped into the closest store and to my surprise found this special red umbrella.

Today I'm wearing a jacket from my 'Queen Of The Sky Collection' by Giovanna Scarfo. This is one of my favourite designs. I usually wear it with my hair up to help show the detailed pleated collar. 

The pants I'm wearing can you believe were only $8.00! I bought them from a second hand shop in Collingwood. They fit me perfectly, even the length which is a rare experience for my 5ft 2 frame. The shoes I'm sure you are familiar with as I regularly post them. They are from Nine West. The bag is Tony Bianco.

At the bottom of this post I have selected both fun and classic umbrellas for you to add to your winter wardrobe. I have also included some novelty jewellery items from selected Etsy shops following the theme of 'umbrellas.' I hope you enjoy this post. Feel free to offer any feedback.
