Bubble Umbrella

I don't like to get wet when I'm not supposed to be. I would make a good cat. Expecting a rainy spring season, I was prepping my rain boots and rain coat. But I found my umbrella lacking. I found this one at Target for a very good price. And I love the design... it offers so much more protection, is more windproof and I can see where I'm going when I use it. Plus I love the name - bubble umbrella. Win, win, win.

  1. i had a bubble umbrella when I was a kid (in the 70's). I loved being enveloped in plastic, yet able to see where I was going, and staying dry! I'm glad to know they are still out there and folks are still enjoying them...and with a pink handle too! (mine was boring white)...

  3. Those were all the rage, when we were kids in the 70's. The only problem was when you sat with them, at a game or something, you always got a wet tush, because you couldn't angle it enough to keep the water from running off the right way.

    Enjoy!

  4. I was just saying I need to buy a better umbrella. I am in school and have to walk a ways from the parking lot. If it's raining either my lower legs get wet because of where I step forward from underneath the umbrella or my backpack gets wet. I love your rain boots. Where did you get them? Very cute!

  7. Not that it rains much in AZ, but I had one of those when I was a kid and I hated it, mainly because it was different. I was a kid, what did I know. Wish I still had it, because enveloping myself in a bubble sounds appealing, but don't think it would be big enough for me now. I was a kid, what did I know.

  8. I find this umbrella rather cute. The bubble concept is useful during the rain as your visibility works amidst the dome cover.

  9. Haha, bubble umbrella! I never had one, what I only got were customized umbrellas but not plastic (I mean see through). Isn't it nice to use it with your boots on? I think the reason why I feel sad with rain is because I didn't have bubble umbrella when I was young.

  10. Say, do I also use some of my artistic side to make a statement on my stuffs. I thing the ornamented purple boots looks cute and fabulous though, I think the umbrella lacks design. I'll probably should come up with something for my organizer as well to match it up with my outfits.

  11. So much for taking the umbrella a stretch too far, huh? Anyway, it does seem like a good alternative to the older umbrella models around. I wonder if the local stores have it in stock already?
