I actually love rainy days. Something about the gloom sets my brainwaves in a warm and thoughtful vibration, and other than wet socks I see no downside to rain whatsoever. Of course I live in Los Angeles, where we get about  7 days of rain per year. If I lived in the Pacific Northwest, I may feel a bit different about it. But if I did live in Vancouver or Seattle, I’d surely want to rock an umbrella with some style — and what better option than this Alexander McQueen umbrella. Classic, black, and featuring McQueen’s signature skull in steel as the handle. At the price of $495, it’s unlikely I’ll be picking one up anytime soon.
