Made in the Shade

Well, its the end of March and it might as well be the middle of summer here in Los Angeles. It’s in the 90’s today in Pasadena and my thoughts are turning to tall, cool, summery drinks and sitting beneath the shade of an umbrella watching the world go by.

Umbrellas are undoubtedly useful, utilitarian objects, but you know how I feel about that. They can also be incredibly glamorous and conjure up all kinds of exotic fantasies about far away places and the outdoor lifestyle.

On Madison has assembled an assortment of umbrella styles that can take you on vacation without ever leaving home. Go ahead, relax, and cool off.
