Lady Umbrella is an interesting T-shirt company who feature a unique character you’ve probably never come across called “Lady Umbrella”.  The t-shirts depict this funny litter character that happens to have an Umbrella for a head in a variety of wacky scenes; enjoying a summers day, or rowing a boat perhaps on a lake.

Rob Ryan and Elena Montes gave rise to their line early this year in January 2010, when one of the two masterminds behind the label Elena Montes Casado went on a trip to Dublin Ireland from Madrid Spain.  The idea of a woman who had an umbrella for a head was spawned when she experienced the incredible amount of rain and constant need for an umbrella, while enjoying her visit on the streets of Dublin. Thus Lady Umbrella was born!

Having being mentioned in their short time in business on a number of mediums including, national newspapers and being nominated for Irish blog award for their blog, Lady Umbrella is definitely on a roll. Not only will this line be featured in an upcoming British Film called Booked out later this year, if your ever in Dublin pop into a boutique by the name of EMMA to get n up close and personal view of their work.   They ship worldwide to a number of countries in Europe and Asia including the great white north, Canada so everyone has a chance to get in on their creative designs.  If you want to check out their lookbook you can check that out also and capitalize on a generous 15% discount code!

I love the humour behind these shirts and if I were to rock one of these I would wear it like the first image with a blazer and maybe some some destroyed jeans for a day at the mall with my girls.  Which one would you rock?

If you want to show them some love check them out on Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace for more info.

Cardigans are as versatile as they come, casual or formal theres always room for a great cardy.  Heres 4 different cardigans that I found on Urban Outfitters.com.

1. Belt it.  Belts shed inches instantly around the waist, and are worn over just about anything, from dresses to coats.  try throwing a belt around a cardigan like this, its a great way to go from day to night.

2. This cardy is cool because of the crochet detailing on the back, which was been very popular all summer, and has found it’s place amongst  winter essentials.  Switch up your style with something like this for something a little unexpected with a look like this.

3. Forget the buttons! Who says a cardigan has to have buttons?  For and easy weekend look go for a long over sized button less cardigan, pair it with a tank and jeans and your good to go.

4. Be geek chic!  Wear a smaller tighter fitting cardigan over a blouse and for that vintage geek chic look.  Complete the look with skinny jeans and slouchy boots. Choose a color you wouldn’t normal choose like yellow, red or purple and contrast it with a pattern for something a little more interesting.
