Shoes. Chocolate. Coffee. Dogs.

So Filly has been wearing a Philadelphia Phillies collar for about a year, and while it should last longer, it has started to fray and is discolored.  Recently I entered the "Lifeguard Press is Sweet" contest, and last week I got a message that said I did not win the grand prize, but they loved my Pinterest board and would still like to send me a gift from my Pinterest page!  I chose the Dylan's Candy Bar dog collar in Candyspill and it arrives today.  If you don't know already, I love all things shoes, chocolate, coffee, and dogs.  I even have the plaque to show the world! (Though it leaves out coffee).

I can't wait to put it on Filly!  He will look soo adorable with the candy collar.

Anthropologie goes to the Dogs!

The funny thing about the way I shop is that whenever I am online, on any clothing or accessory website, the first thing I do is type "dog" in the search engine.  I rarely shop at Anthropologie, but I figured since we have one within 5 minutes of our house in New Jersey I would check out online and see what they have.  First of all, I have to say that once I saw the Fetch & Frolic dress on their website I knew that, 1st I had to call my store to make sure they had it in stock and in my size, and second that it was a purchase I HAD TO MAKE!   Though I think I may change up the belt.  My fiance wasn't too fond of that part of the outfit.

The other piece of apparel that I am drooling over (pun intended) is the Pooch Posse Cardigan.  It is soo adorable and while I wouldn't pair it with the dress, it would great with jeans and a tee underneath.

Newest Coffee Table Book? Yes Please!

The New Yorker Magazine has just released a new book that I will soon be purchasing, or hinting at for a Valentine's Day gift.  $27 on Amazon, this book is sure to be a great addition to your living room coffee table.

This book is a collection of poems, humor, cartoons, cover art, drafts and drawings from past magazine archives all compiled into one canine themed book for dog lovers everywhere.  If you are into ebooks, it is available for $19.99.  Personally, while I do love ebooks, this is a book that I want to display!

The cover sort of reminds me of Clifford, the Big Red Dog?  What do you think?

For The Love of Hedgehogs!

Has anyone else noticed that dogs are obsessed with hedgehogs?  My Shih Tzu/Terrier, Filly has already gone through three hedgehogs.  His most recent one is from the Martha Stewart Collection and it is by far the most durable.  It has a sound chip inside that makes it make this clicking nose (I guess the sound that hedgehogs make).  It has more stuffing in it compared to the other two, which is why I like it.  Filly is less likely to break the sound chip like in all the other ones with the squeakers.

This month I have seen hedgehogs everywhere.  The newest Petco commercial has a wall of hedgehogs in the background.  Paper-Source is all about hedgehogs for Valentine's Day.  Which I am really excited about.  I'm planning on going the day after Valentine's Day (or order online) and get them on sale!

A Dog Lovers iPhone

Wow!  I have really been MIA.  We are already into the New Year and I haven't posted since Black Friday!  I apologize.  I've been super busy with wedding planning.  My fiance kind of caved and he is more willing to "dogify" our wedding!  A combination of green apples and dogs.  Personally I prefer any of the red apples to eat, but he favors the green ones and I think they are a better color scheme for our wedding :) haha.

Anyways,

If you don't have a smartphone these days, whether it be an android or an iPhone you are behind the times.  Smartphones do everything for us --- and we let them!  But why not, if it makes our lives easier. Pay our bills on the go, study for exams (if you are in school), read the news, and "of course" shopping.  I found these super cute dog themed iphone cases that I am in love with.  Right now, I have the Kate Spade Scottie Dog iphone 4s case and it suits me!

Lovable Labels BLACK FRIDAY SALE

Like many of you, I am a bit of an organizer freak (but in a messy way according to my fiance).  Haha.   My Lilly Pulitzer planner is perfection and I am obsessed with washi tape and labels, but my clothing organization is another story.  My desk @ work is pretty neat.  All my papers are organized and I use labels on everything, which is why I wanted to share this SWEET DEAL with you since I am a Lovable Labels LOVE BUG!

Starting Black Friday November 23rd and going till Cyber Monday November 26th, Lovable Labels is having a great sale!  Take 20% off your entire order, or take 30% off orders over $100 or more.  This is a great time to stock up on labels for holiday gifts, and if you are thinking ahead --- why not get labels for labeling school supplies and clothing!

I am particularly fond of the slimline labels in the Lollipop colors with the puppy dog icon!  I use my current slimlines on all my notebooks, and as I get closer to my wedding date, I will get to use my special coupon deal for new labels with my new name!
