Rain, Rain, Go Away...

We are over the rain. However, there really isn't much we can do about it. But there is something we can do about this all-too-familiar scenario: You are walking down the street while rain is pelting you in the face. Your flimsy umbrella gets blown inside out and the metal sticks get bent and poke out of the fabric, rendering it a lethal weapon. You feel as if there is no point at all in even having an umbrella, considering your clothes and purse are soaked. You are now feeling homicidal. Uptown Girls think it is time to stop this vicious cycle. So take that $5.99 Duane Reade piece of crap and throw it out. It is necessary to step up your game when it comes to umbrellas, and we found something that looks like it can solve all of your rainy day problems. The Shed Rain Windjammer Jumbo Umbrella features a double-tiered design so that the wind just flows through the vent and allows the umbrella to retain its shape. No more inside-out umbrella! It is also rather large so that your gigantic purse will remain underneath its protective shelter. Samsonite also makes a large, wind-resistant golf umbrella that is even larger. If $35 is all it takes to retain your sanity, we think it is worth it.
