Blouse, Rendez-Vous by Paul & Joe. Skirt, Brooks Brothers. Cardigan, J.Crew. Pumps, Banana Republic. Umbrella, Max Mara.
One of the best things that happened to me in London was getting caught in the rain sans cover while looking for Harrods. Drenched, desperate and disoriented, my sister and I entered Harvey Nichols instead, where Max Mara was having a little soiree. After I de-racooned my eyes and my sister wisely buttoned up her trench coat over a Superman tee, we put on some airs and waltzed into the Italian boutique. Champagne flutes were chugged and umbrellas were given as party favors, so we walked away elated. Convincing the British Airways clerk not to charge me when checking in the umbrella (considered a weapon as a carry-on and 40 pounds as an extra piece of luggage) was another story with a happy ending. It's all about the little (gratuitous) things, isn't it?

Great story, and I'm jealous of your security-agent mojo.
Kudos for crashing the Max Mara party! That umbrella is sweet.
I love that umbrella (it could be very useful for the rainy season in Oregon). Your skirt makes the red pop and leopard flats are so fun! I can't do the white pencil skirt for fear of peanut butter finger smears from the two-year old.
Aw, cute story! After the rain came a rainbow (or a swanky party).
Wow I need to drag you along whenever I'm flying. :) Also I'm in love with all the individual pieces of your outfit today, and love the way you put them together. That skirt is particularly covetable. :)
Haha such a great story! Hmm luggage always seems to form a problem whenever I'm flying, there's always something wrong (usually the weight of my suitcases)... Love the umbrella, so luxuriously big!
Love, Lisa
Great umbrella! love the outfit
