Parasols by Rose Potter
Here in Maui, it seems like summer is just beginning.  September is the hottest month, based on my own personal research of living here for a few years.  But, since everyone on the mainland is preparing for fall and I thought I'd do a post on parasols, as a symbol of summer coming to an end.
We have the sweetest parasols and patio umbrellas made from old embroidered skirt fabrics.  Each one is a unique mix of pattern, color and texture. 
This is a picture of one of the patio umbrellas stuck into one of the planters in front of the store.  I can't tell you how many times I've noticed people photographing it as they're driving by.  The patio umbrellas sell for $560, and there's only a few left.
The parasols are a whole new level of cuteness.  I recently came across this picture via Stylecourt, and it made me start daydreaming about carrying my parasol on the beach. 
It's a photo by Robert Capa, Magna Photos 1996.  
So I guess my daydream wasn't about carrying my own parasol, but having someone carry one for me...
We have quite a few of the smaller parasols and they sell for $138.  
Walking down the beach with one of these cute parasols guarantees that you look just like this too...
This picture is from a fashion show we had this summer, and while I can't guarantee you'll look exactly like her, you'll still feel pretty stylish.
