Brelli Umbrellas

Why is it mid-April, but in Chicago it feels like February? The constant grey drizzle is making me want to commit Seppuku. But in an effort to be positive (yeah, right), check out how cool The Brelli umbrella by Pam Zonsius ($48, $68) is. It's chic, supremely functional, and environmentally responsible. It's simply made from just bamboo, cotton string, and a clear canopy, all of which are completely sustainable and renewable resources. Plus, get this—The Brelli will completely decompose within five years in a landfill. Nice. Now get me out of here!
