You see her from across a crowded party. She’s confident, classy and dressed to the nine’s. Hair obviously tended, but without self-consciousness. Who’s that girl?! She’d be your pretty baby, decked out in her sparkly holiday attire, and her admirer would be a handsome (of course), stylish boy looking expectantly at her, hoping she’ll notice.

My little Fifi/Fido fantasy is a testament to my love of the holidays, and having fun with what we wear! There’s an electricity in the air and dressing up just seems natural. So today, let’s go shopping for some special and unusual embellished holiday dog apparel, that will brighten any look and dust your doggy with holiday glamour.

If you’re a regular reader, you know I love to shop at BitchNewYork.com. Stacy Braverman, the owner, has some of the finest dog couture around, and a lot of it! So, I’m going to take us there for our first stop.

Rock Glam Gold Skull

Fans of the edgy, this is so for you! A metallic gold croc-embossed leather harness vest, lined in white satin, oh  my! If that weren’t enough, a large clear crystal skull is featured on the back. Made by my friend, Madelaine Saia of Diamonds in the Ruff Ruff, right here in the U.S.A. Stunning.

Where to buy: BitchNewYork.com

Sizing: XS-XL

Price: a holiday splurge at $225.00, that can be worn for many special occasions to come.

Crystal Cascade Baroque Necklace

A spectacular piece to turn almost any outfit into a holiday dazzler, this Rebecca Bissi Chien Coature necklace features layers of Swarovski Elements crystals to create this rope-style. My Sophie has this one and looks like a little princess in it. If gold isn’t the best choice for your dog’s coloring, Bissi makes her gorgeous necklaces in many colors. All have her signature Diva Dangle drop piece to add that extra jen ne sais quoi.  Love this!!

Where to buy: BitchNewYork.com

Sizing: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 (measured by closed circumference of necklace). Sophie’s neck measures at 10″ and this necklace, when closed, measures at just under 12″ and fits her great.

Price: $385.00. I know this isn’t inexpensive. If you’re going to spend the money to have a beautiful piece of jewelry for your dog or cat, Chien Coature pieces are of the highest quality and will last a long time. Each time I put this on Sophie, how beautiful she looks makes me smile.

Where to buy: Amazon.com

Price: Handbag charm is $7.63.

Holiday Siren

A Christmas red harness and matching leash, of course with some bling, is another way to celebrate the holidays any time of year. I like Susan Lanci’s ultrasuede ones – they come in so many configurations and colors! This crystalized diamond one with a leash of 2 rows of crystal gems is my choice for girls stepping out this season. It’s classic, trim and makes a statement without shouting it from the rooftops. Unless, of course, you like that sort of thing. Then, there’s plenty here for you, too!

I like that this is soft and sturdy, made from upholstery grade ultrasuede, and that you have the option of adding another crystal diamond. Definitely recommended for smaller dogs.

Where to buy: my other go-to shop, FunnyFur.com

Sizing: TC (teacup) – M/L

Price: $70.00

 Dapper Don’s and Donna’s

Wooflink has come out with what I think are the cutest luxury dress shirts! For girls or dapper dons, it features a bit of ruffle, lace, gold buttons and a gold sequined bow tie, perfect for holiday. Styled after a dress or tux shirt with a men’s shirt collar, the lace panel is on the upper back portion, which is a nice design feature, visible to all. And, comes in pink or white. But, it’s the gold bow tie that will insure fans see your pup coming a mile away!

Where to buy: FunnyFur.com

Sizing: 1 – 6 (fits dogs with an 11.5″ –  23″ girth)

Price: $36.00

Summary

A bit of whimsy and lots of shine is the theme for my selections today, perfect for the spirit of holiday. Dress your pups up and take them along, if appropriate. And, please remember to make sure their garments and other holiday accoutrements  fit well and are comfortable for your dog. No one knows him or her like you. As with all clothing and jewelry, keep an eye on your baby when wearing them.

Have a safe and fun-filled holiday season!
