It never fails: if you forget your umbrella in your front hallway, it will start raining as soon as you are too far from home to go back to get it, and if you lug it around all day, sunshine. You need something to change your umbrella karma… or at least umbrella-related psychology—instead of seeing an umbrella as wholly utilitarian, see it also as a must-have rainy day accessory. Get an umbrella that is so cute that you’ll want to whip it out at the sign of the first gray cloud. In case you still end up being rainy day weather forgetful, this printed umbrella is not only deco-mod cute, but also comes with a storage cover and compresses to a size that will definitely fit in your handbag, so carrying it around won’t be a hassle. $16 at Urban Outfitters.
