I know April showers bring May flowers, but when a girl has a mile to walk before she gets to work, rain on a Monday (or any weekday) morning is a bit more than I’d like to wake up to.

So my quest for the perfect commuter shoe has now changed to the quest for the perfect pick-me-up umbrella to make those dreary mornings a little more bearable. Luckily Jonathan Adler comes to the rescue with this adorably cheery umbrella! It’s not expensive either, as most designer umbrellas are either the same or more. I think I will have to snatch up a couple so I can arrive at the office not only in style, but in a better mood on wet weather mornings!
