After Angie’s recent post on Umbrella Style, the lovely people at FinnStyle contacted us to see how they can help our readers look even more stylish in rainy weather. Today we are focussing on their umbrellas, but this company that specializes in Finnish brands has an online store full of amazing design products:

“FinnStyle brings you timeless modern design as well as a mix of bold new trends in color and style from top Finnish brands such as Marimekko and iittala. As one of the United States’ largest retailers of modern Finnish design, our huge selection of goods includes everything from museum pieces to whimsical collections. Choose from home décor, glassware, fabric, dinnerware, bed & bath, clothing, furniture and much more. Inspiring design for everyday life.”

FinnStyle has kindly offered to give away four cheerful Marimekko umbrellas that are sure to brighten up any rainy day:

1. The Unikko with the famous Marimekko poppy design
2. The Kivet with large red dots on a red background
3. The Pisaroi Mini with a fun pattern of falling droplets
4. The white on red Kiku umbrella

For Thursday’s competition, Zeitgeist Films has kindly offered to give away 5 copies of the moving and enlightening documentary, Bill Cunningham New York:

“Documenting uptown fixtures, downtown eccentrics and everyone in between, Cunningham’s enormous body of work is more reliable than any catwalk as an expression of time, place and individual flair. In turn, Bill Cunningham New York is a delicate, funny and often poignant portrait of a dedicated artist whose only wealth is his own humanity and unassuming grace.”

To enter the competition, tell us if you feel inspired by street style pictures in magazines, newspapers and blogs or if you find it difficult to translate what you see to your own outfits and lifestyle.

For our second giveaway in YLF Books Bonanza Week, we’ve selected an item from the Movies section of the bookstore. With The House of Eliott we are going back in time to witness the rise of a fashion house run by two talented sisters:

“In stylish 1920s London, two beautiful sisters struggle to the top of the fashion world. Louise Lombard and Stella Gonet are Evie and Beatrice Eliott—born into wealth and privilege, made penniless by their profligate father, left with nothing but a passion for fashion. Seen on PBS, A&E, and BBC America, this BBC drama series from the creators of Upstairs Downstairs won top awards for costume design when it originally aired in the early 1990s…”

Acorn Media has kindly offered to give away two complete sets of this British TV series. That means the two lucky winners will receive 12 discs, containing all 34 episodes. More than 29 hours of viewing pleasure!
