Affiliate Links Hot PinkHeavy Metal Harness w/ silver Diva Dangle Rebecca Bissi has a lot of energy. In our interview, we talked talked talked for over an hour, the passion for what she’s doing apparent in her enthusiasm. To look at the designs for her brand, Chien Coature, is to be in awe. The creative and often complex pieces, the craftsmanship, her aesthetic…many of her designs look like you’d find them in Bergdorf Goodman. Ultra luxe. Bissi falls into that category of a small handful of pet fashion designers who I… [Continue Reading]

Affiliate Links Me and Sophie & Sophie! Sophie and I had a fun time on the Today show this morning! Our dog-filled area of the green room was the most popular, because everyone loves pups!  Sophie and fellow models Leon, Batman and Jasper, got lots of lovin’. We even got to meet a couple of celebrities, who were appearing on the show. For Game of Thrones fans (that would include me!), Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa Stark (remember she had to marry the awful young king!) came by and… [Continue Reading]

Affiliate Links It was a whirlwind three days at the Global Pet Expo, but I don’t think I could’ve had a better time! Met great people, discovered gorgeous dog fashion and products; lots of amazing things happened! I’m so excited about what I’ve found, I have to share it with you in more detail than a tweet or a Facebook post. I’ve tried so hard to put all of the pictures I want to show you in here. It’s a bit crowded, but please bear with me. I couldn’t cut any of them!… [Continue Reading]

Affiliate Links Pink Barbie Petal Dressby Orostani Couture It might seem like the trend that keeps on giving, as pastels have taken us through last spring and this fall/winter. But, we love it so much, we can’t let it go, and it’s one of spring 2014’s trends, too. I don’t mind. Pastel fashion for dogs works! There aren’t many who can’t rock a pale shade. Pastels this season aren’t about being so airy you float away; in fact, they’re a great contrast to more powerful designs. I’ve searched my favorite… [Continue Reading]

Affiliate Links Spring may not quite be in the air yet for us northerners, but we’re all so ready for it, we’re starting to add those special spring pieces to our wardrobe. And that goes for Fifi and Fido, too! Of the many fun runway trends for spring, one of the most versatile is the luxe sweatshirt. In other words,  a sweatshirt with some attitude. I, for one, am getting one (ok, maybe two) for Sophie. And, for the most spectacular of them, they will go, so I recommend not being tardy to… [Continue Reading]

Affiliate Links Who wants to even think about it. According to statistics, 9 dogs out of 10 are expected to have an emergency in their lifetime. Jeez. When I read that, and started exploring  information on emergency dog care, how unprepared I am made me very nervous. So, I’ve vowed to get ready, just in case the unthinkable happens. I want to share with you what I’m learning/doing, so we can be prepared together. According to the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), 25% more animals could be saved if just one Pet First-AID… [Continue Reading]

Affiliate Links Yvette Ruta Coat &Champagne Dreams Bed Collarless coats remind me of Jackie O. You know…chic, tailored, clean. And, even though I think Jackie, collarless coats work for more than a tailored look. Funky, retro, denim, formal, the collarless coat is a staple. This spring, it’s also a trend, and one I think translates very well for our pups. So let’s take a look at the early designers who helped usher it in, and some great looking collarless coats for dogs. A bit of history… From what I… [Continue Reading]
