Only a close friend could pick up a hiccup in my otherwise pristine non-dialect, dialect (barring an occasional New York "dawg" and "caw-fee"). In fact, I am the first person to notice inflection, intonation, and any other voice thingy in a person's speech. So, when a friend questioned my pronunciation of the word "umbrella", I thought she was joking.
"UHHM-brella, UHHM-brella...what?" My Southern roots apparently come out to say "howdy" when I say that word.
No matter how you say it, can we agree that this Pasotti Ombre Black Dahlia Umbrella ($189) is phenomenal? Quite a few (if not all) of these jammies are handmade and like this one, feature intricate handles adorned with Swarovski crystals. So I guess that's where the 200 duckets come in.

And though I'm not 100% sure umbrellas fit into a fashion or beauty post, I do know this. Farnsworth Bentley was once Diddy's umbrella guy; and they are both quite fashionable, so there. I also watched "Get Him to the Greek" recently and Diddy's performance was genius ("you cannot outrun me. I am black!").
Diddy...Farnsworth..."I am black"...Back Dahlia umbrella. This umbrella thing makes total sense now, right?
