They Should be called Funbrellas

Okay, although I already own so many umbrellas that I've resorted to regifting them (not my Lulu Guinness one, though—dream on, buddy), I want one of these Twilight umbrellas. So twinkly and shiny...just what a girl needs in the rain. Incidentally, if you can look beyond the horrid site design, there's a cheaper (U.S.) version of the same umbrella here.

Speaking of umbrellas, check out this unbelievably awesome (and surprisingly sophisticated) gown made from discarded umbrellas. (Via the Make Blog.) That's just the sort of creative dressmaking I support (says the girl whose prom dress lit up).
