Fall Daily: My Umbrella Style!

Umbrella style is all about featuring your umbrella and working around it. When I use to live in a colder region I would always consider my coat, umbrella, rain boots, gloves, scarf, and bag, as a unified outfit. It is essential to consider how these garments all work together, rather than purchasing each one with an individualistic idea.

Start off by knowing what you are working with and what you need. Do you already own a beautiful coat or bag?

Lets say you have a beautiful forest green, cashmere coat, and matching rain boots.

Now lets go find a beautiful umbrella with a tiny bit of green but maybe a bit more eccentrically colored. Pull out the colors of the umbrella and look for a scarf that mimics the artsy style of the umbrella.

From there, I would keep the tones of the gloves and handbag as similar as possibly avoiding too much noise.

The trick is balancing color, style and texture. Don't overwhelm too many ideas at once. Edit, and avoid looking like a hot mess.

Good Luck!

My 10 Rainy Days Must Haves

Rainy Days can really bring down your spirits, from the muddy streets, busy traffic, and overall dreery darkness. However, with a bit of preparation, you can thoroughly enjoy rainy days and the poetic atmosphere they bring.

1.) Umbrella: Pick an Umbrella you love. Do not just buy some whatever umbrella you dread to use. Not only will it bring your spirits down on those rainy days but it will do nothing for your inner inspiration.

2.) Raincoat: Find an adorable raincoat and coordinate it with your umbrella. Not only will you look unbelievably fashionable, but your outfit is practically complete. No need to worry about getting wet or struggle with what to wear.

3.) Ionic Brush: Rain weather usually equals frizzy hair, but with the power of ions and the advanced technology we live in, we can now have soft, shiny hair even on those rainy days.

4.) NO Frizz Spray: For extra unruly hair spray your hair with a bit of this amazing no frizz spray. Save yourself the stress, and enjoy the beauty of soft falling rain.

5.) Rubber Hair Ties: Having hair ties with you will always come in handy.

6.) Fancy hair tie: Pick a cute hair tie you can wrap around a cute pony or bun.

7.) Rain Boots: Nothing is more annoying than water in your shoes. A cute pair of rain boots saves you the fear of ruining shoes or having wet feet all day.

8.) Perfume: Soft, crisp, rain, freshly fallen, is a beautifully refreshed smell. However, after you get wet and then dry off, you usually end up smelling like a shaggy dog. This is the time to have some perfume handy, and spritz a refreshing scent.

9.) Waterproof Mascara: For obvious reasons, melting mascara equals panda face. Not cute.

10.) Headphones: Honestly, rainy days are the days I get most of my inspiration. Put on some beautiful music, headphones, and take a walk and look around. It is unbelievably beautiful.
