{what colored my week} umbrella green

IPHONE CASE - KATE SPADE / CUSTOME STAMP - PENCIL SHAVINGS STUDIO / FANCY BOBBI PIN - BAN.DO

"An umbrella or parasol (also called a brolly, parapluie, rainshade, sunshade, gamp, bumbershoot, or umbrolly) is a canopy designed to protect against rain or sunlight. The word parasol usually refers to an item designed to protect from the sun; umbrella refers to a device more suited to protect from rain."

This print (by Flowers in May) perfectly translates my love for umbrellas and the color green. My dream has always been to own a closet filled with different kind of umbrellas (and wellies - but that is another story) to match  my daily outfits! This may be a tad bit over the top and probably will never occur,  however a girl can dream, right? 

It is odd that even though I love all rainy day accessories, I am not a fan of gloomy wet days and would trade it  in a heart beat for beautiful beach weather. Maybe that explains why I always purchase the happiest of all umbrellas - trying to make up for the lack of sunshine! 

Moving on to the lovely items that oh-so perfectly match this fun print.... Kate Spade iPhone cases are always the funnest ones out there! Plus I really could use an update...

I tend to always custom make our mailing labels but this one from Pencil Shavings Studio is just beyond adorable! As soon as we settle down you know this will be the very first thing on my list.

What girl does not like a fancy bobbi pin? Even though I rarely ever use mine (my hair is very fine and they slip right off), I absolutely love having them on my vanity. Wouldn't you?

Hope you are having a fantastic Thursday and here is to FRIDAY!!
