Brellies & Wellies:

OMG you guys! I came out of work today and the skies were about to open up for a crazy summer storm in the Loop. Lucky for me I brought my raincoat and umbrella to work today. Unlucky for me was that as I sprinted in a full on down pour from the L to my apartment, I realized that my cute leopard raincoat from London was really more aesthetic than practical and my umbrella was broken. Additionally, my sandals filled up with water as I encountered unavoidable puddles.

 Finally dry and tucked in my bed, I sipped on a glass of pinot grigio while I watched the news -trying to block out the tornado siren blaring outside (eeeek!) While I did this I was thinking about how many people were ill prepared for this evening’s weather - including myself. So I started searching for new brellies and wellies to combat the next midwest squall.

Look at all the cute stuff I found. I’m certain that most of the umbrellas would break in one gust of Chicago wind, but I don’t know if I can resist! Which ones are your faves? Help me choose!
