Oh Darn... or how to look good come rain or shine

[Level - Public]

Remember a while back I posted a link to the best umbrella in the world (and yes, the customer review is by me!)? Well, it's been usurped!. Parasols GALLORE (see this 50s inspired baby, this lace effect umbrella style one, this purlple diamonte trim one and this wonderfully extravagent one, equally gorgeous in the purple for instance) and they do the black umbrella I love (so much that I have 3 of them)...



... in PINSTRIPE.

But the one I'd really really really adore if money were no object?



Not really much competition really. AND you can get a 'bit' which can have real flowers integrated into it courtesy of your local florist... so want a black one with dark red roses for a photo shoot now (utilising an acrylic with strap and a claret handle because what wouldn't go with one or t'other of those).

I'm so pleased it isn't payday yet.

Oooo they are lush! Are they waterproof or just for sun?

The two pictured on lj are waterproof - there are several others which are classed as parasols but state that they're for use in the rain too.

Are you tempted or what?!?! :D

If you DO fancy one, the first link at the very start of the post is for plain coloured ones, which are £10. I'm thinking I can't really justify £80 for the last one, can I?

I currently sport a rather battered pink see through brolly bought 6 years ago from the pound shop! So I could do with a new one really.

The shame! Treat yourself to a new lovely shiny one...

I've been looking for an excellent Edwardian parasol for ages! AND THERE IS A PINSTRIPE ONE.

I need this in my life. Full stop.

THOUGHT someone else out there would understand and I'm delighted it's you!

But of course!! I just. Steampunk outfits WILL NOT BE COMPLETE until I own this thing!

Come on, £20, drop out of thin air...

Babe, if I could afford to treat you, I SO would... :)

That's because you're a sweetie. <3 But it's my birthday soon, and I may acquire money, so yeeee~!

Put the link up on your lj and hint to the hilt.... might be that you get it without having to shell out birthday funds if 'tis imminent! :)
