April showers do in fact bring May flowers, so it's hard to be too mad at them. Living in a city that boasts nearly seasonless weather change, I have to admit that I actually enjoy the occasional downpour and downright miss a good old-fashioned Texas thunderstorm! However, they can put a major kink in a day's plans so it's best to be stylishly prepared. I put together this post for Bethenny.com earlier this week and decided it was too good not to share with you guys here! Ladies, gird your loins...
(UMBRELLAS // Floral Vera Bradley, $34 / Red Hunter, $48 / Check Marc by Marc Jacobs, $58 / Pop Art Kate Spade, $78 / Dots TopShop, $30 / Floral Lulu, $33.91)
These jackets are almost too cute to save for a rainy day! One of the floral ones is definitely on my list!
(Shop jackets here: Blue Dots Yumi, $129.99 / Floral MSGM, $416.73 / Pink Hooded Jacket with Ruffle, $129.98 / Nylon Nylon Popover, $69.99 / Olive Unlined Parka, $120 / Trench Unlined Seamed Trench, $136 / Short Trench Women's Double Breasted Canvas, $35 / Love these! Mossimo, $29.99 / Floral Trench Merona, $42.99)
It's hard to pick a favorite here. I love the added wedge but am partial to a chic black and brown color combo! Which ones are your favorites? (It should be noted that I currently own three pairs of rain boots... which is a total waste of cute boots here in southern California!)

It rained on two occasions while we were in Australia. Both times I had to resort to placing my suede Balenciaga bag underneath my shirt, lest it get ruined. From now on, I am never leaving home without one of these nearby.

It is thunderstorming up here in Oklahoma too! I love your umbrellas and coats! I certainly need to invest in a raincoat - you've got such cute options here! Try to stay dry 🙂

I need to prepare for April Showers! I definitely will be purchasing the red umbrella! I love that it comes down around you and I will have to go get rain boots! Thanks for the ideas!
