Trend Watch: Bubble Umbrellas

If you're a Gen X-er like me, you may remember coveting a "bubble umbrella" when you were young. Well, they're back in style right now, and I just bought myself the Claret Pink Bubble Umbrella ($16.99) pictured above from Target. I'm getting a lot of compliments on it, and my kids love huddling under it with me ("look Mommy! we can still see outside!"). Here are some others you can buy online these days, both for yourself or your kids:

Totes Dotted Bubble Umbrella ($22) from Macy's


Heart String Bubble Umbrella ($22.90) from Frankford Umbrellas


Kids Preferred Eric Carle Umbrella ($17.99) at Amazon.com
