OK, maybe I'm the only one that considers an umbrella an accessory, but I figure as long as it's going to be a yucky day, at least I can shield myself with a cute umbrella. Recently I lost my beloved Marimekko umbrella that I only got a few months ago and only used twice :(. I need a new one, but this time I'd like to get one that's smaller. A mini umbrella less than 9" long when closed, lightweight, and automatic as I often only have one hand free. It needs to be fairly sturdy despite the small size though, since it gets pretty windy here and I have had problems with umbrellas turning inside out. A tall order, but maybe someone has a recommendation?
