Sky Umbrella

What’s better than a classic black umbrella? Tibor Kalman’s Sky Umbrella, that’s what. No matter how rainy it is outside, blue skies are somewhere overhead – always a good reminder. MoMA Design Store is celebrating its 20th anniversary right now by running a contest on how to style the iconic piece. (Ironically I snapped these photos under clear skies, less than 12 hours after an entire week of storms and tornadoes.)

PS: Use the code “SKY20” for 20% off all versions of the Sky Umbrella from today (4/17) through April 30th!

 

Disclosure: This is not a sponsored post. The MoMA Store approached me about styling a Sky Umbrella to celebrate its anniversary, and I accepted because I love both the product and the establishment. All opinions are my own.

Light As a Feather

These gorgeous over-sized 36 x 36″ 100% silk scarves from Fieldguided are rocking my world. An ice cave, a mountain, Venus, and a meteor (my favorite) can be worn a zillion different ways or even hung on a wall. Not to mention how black and white go perfectly with just about whatever else you’re wearing. (Photography by Anja Verdugo.)

HarLex

I’m not sure when I first found HarLex and their incredible line of handcrafted leather, but I’m glad I did. They have a serious focus on customer personalization, from putting your name on your new leather good to choosing the color of leather and stitching used. All of which results in a unique one-of-a-kind product each and every time. With that sort of business plan it’s hard to go wrong!
