Umbrellas are an often forgotten but vitally important accessory. Having a nice umbrella can brighten up an otherwise drab day. I already have many options in my umbrella repertoire, but I’ve had my eye on the selection from Seattle-based Pare Umbrella for a while. Now that it is Spring, I think it might be time to get one — I just can’t decide which I like best.

I am in LOVE with the “Lace, Lace, Lace” umbrella!
I sort of want a samurai umbrella but it may be too geeky for me even.
