April showers bring May flowers! And frizzy hair, running makeup, sloshy shoes… Don’t get caught this spring without an umbrella, and don’t forget that your umbrella is a perfect fashion statement opportunity. Not only can you express your personal style by whipping out a bright splash of color in the middle of a rain storm but you can also show your support for the planet by investing in an eco-friendly brand. Here are some of my favorites:
Recycled polyester in bold floral design from Radley, $50.
Crate and Barrel Coby Eco-Umbrella has bamboo handle and hemp strap, $29.95.
100% biodegradable and totally unlike anything else, $64.
“Trashion” umbrellas are recycled and each individually handmade, $60.
Simple and functional Eco ‘brella from Totes, $30.
