who'll stop the rain?

Who doesn’t love a bubble umbrella?!

They're so cute and practical, the way they envelop you and protect you from the rain. Even though we don’t get a lot of rain here in So Cal, my choice for rainy day outings is this cute style by Shed Rain.

Even the Queen loves a great clear bubble umbrella!

And, look at these cute patterns...

I love the clear version, but I went with the black and white allover stripe design that has just the right amount of hot pink, the "Maddy" style.

Shed Rain even makes a dramatic and stylish leopard print umbrella! Even super models get in on the this timeless look. Next on my umbrella list, this “Fierce Leopard” pattern! (Vintage fashion shot of Claudia Schiffer.)

the perfect gift for mom

Mother’s Day is a few months away, but it’s never too early to think about special things for my mom, especially with Valentine’s Day and her birthday coming up. There is a fabulous Helen Ficalora store in Beverly Hills and I recently connected with them. Helen Ficalora creates beautiful and simple customizable jewelry, and they were so kind to send me a sterling silver “MOM” necklace.

It has become one of my favorite pieces to wear daily. It looks great layered with other necklaces, or just on its own. I wanted to share with you all these lovely options for mom. These pendant charms come in yellow, pink and white gold and also in sterling silver. Some even have diamond accents.

The best part about it for me, is they have the cutest grandmother pendants too! My mom is Mimi, so that would be perfect for her, and the pink gold is so pretty!

There are so many choices for mom

and also for the grandmother in your life.

These are some of my favorites and

I love the clustered look

Some of these gals wear Helen's initial charm.

I wear mine everyday!

Hot pink is Helen's trademark color,

and you can see more of

Helen Ficalora's style on Pinterest.

There are literally hundreds of choices.

Please check out Helen Ficalora for all

the details and let me know what your favorite is!

pretty display options for storing jewelry

the earring and ring box

Stella & Dot has just came out with

these fabulous jewelry display pieces

available to the public,

and they’re so pretty!

Made with a khaki linen fabric,

these enclosed white wood boxes have

beaded trim detail and

a Stella & Dot plaque on each signature piece.

They box even have

a magnetic lid for easy closing.

the signature large picture frame 18 x 18

The display picture frames

come in three different sizes,

8 x 10, 12 x 15, and 18 x 18.

They turn your jewelry into

art for your walls!

And now, all your jewelry will be easy to find

and tangle-free! I love this idea!

the double bracelet bar

Look at how many bracelets this

double bracelet bar holds!

I just ordered two of these to hold

my Stella stuff and some of my vintage pieces.

These display bars are sturdy and

so versatile for your bedroom,

closet or vanity area.

We got a sneak peek of

these display pieces a few weeks ago,

when we visited Heather

and got to a first look at her new closet.

Cynthia brought them over for us to use while finalizing the organization of the closet.

The bracelet bar fits perfectly on the closet shelf.

It's so nice to see all the accessories organized neatly.

For info on ordering these display pieces

or any of the fabulous Stella & Dot jewelry

or bags, visit Cynthia's Stella and Dot page.

python pieces

I really love these 3 relatively inexpensive and

hot python accessories

selected by Rachel Zoe.

Python is the new neutral for fall and winter.

And, these are so easy to throw on with a simple outfit.

Would you wear python?

I hope you all have a Happy Monday. Please enjoy some other great ideas from around the web...

Charlotte is a new blogger on the scene who has a terrific post about python inspired pants.

Where would you travel anywhere in the world? I would go here

Tour a 1959 mid-century modern house in the hills of Bel Air.

Speaking of Bel Air, this iconic hotel is re-opening it's doors on October , after an extensive two year remodel.

Did you know, today is National Chocolate Milk Shake Day? I think that's my new favorite holiday. I may get one from here.

And don't forget to watch tonight...
