Gina & May




the weather is gettin' me down
so I decided to hug my Mimipong 'Hug your sorrow' tear doll
it comes with a tag where you have to write down all the little
emo thoughts you have going on in your head
perfect for someone like me! haha

this Singaporean artist has a lot of other quirks
related to cats too! so paw it out !

rain makes everyone grouchy
but not when you have such happy umbrellas like these!

Designed by Sydney dweller Gina Pollock
these sturdy bold prints are my way of saying
F YOU! to the 3 weeks consistent rain and storm !



the crucial thing is that one can look gorgeous even though it's shit out

*


it's not just about the looks!
these little guys boast compactness (they can be folded up to 19cm!):


my compact umbrellas are usually too weak to handle strong wind


but they have solved that problem by creating a windproof mechanism reinforced with
fiberglass ribs


another core element that we often miss out from umbrellas is the UV resistance
a lot of you out there have that porcelain skin that will sizzle
under the sun

The fabric of the umbrellas has been tested by the Australian Government organisation, ARPANSA, to assess its UPF protection factor.
