Mickey Rourke's Loki Pendant

Filed under: Accessories, Celebrities with Style

Mickey Rourke and Loki pendant
Forget all of the fabulous designer dresses and exquisite diamond jewelry at the Oscars. Sure, statement necklaces were big, but we don't think any piece of jewelry got as much attention on the red carpet as Mickey Rourke's Loki pendant. Every reporter who spoke to him made a point to ask about it, and we think it was probably the single most talked about necklace on the red carpet. But who made it?

Crazy Dog T-Shirts: They're crazy, Dawg

Filed under: Clothing, Vintage and Retro, Men


Whit Honea is a slacker, a borderline degenerate, and a daydream believer. He's also our resident expert on casual chic. If it's comfortable, and not heinous, he's all over it. He's quite charming, really.


Do you know what is missing from your prized collection of funny and clever t-shirts? "Shirts built by dog robots," that's what. Crazy Dog T-Shirts can help fill that void for you.

They believe that their shirts "are the most awesome t-shirts around. Junk Food t-shirts, funky t shirts and saved by the bell t-shirts." That's right, "Saved by the Bell" t-shirts (and other gems from the 80's).

How well-dressed dogs stay dry in April showers

Filed under: Clothing


If you have a dog, you know that, no matter how rotten the weather, dogs need to go outside. Their need to "do their business" can't be put on hold because you don't want to get wet.

Fortunately, you can get a cute raincoat or umbrella and hit the sloppy streets in style. But what about your pooch?

Kimora considers turning her doggy into a diamond

Filed under: Accessories, Celebrities with Style

As I've stated before, I loveLOVELOVE dogs. I really do. But, when my Yuki goes on the great squirrel hunt in the sky, I don't intend to wear her as a sweater, to stuff her a la Rowdy on Scrubs, and I'm not sure I'd want to turn her into a diamond.

But Kimora Lee Simmons has a different opinion. Her 18-year-old pooch, Zoe, recently passed away, and she's looking for a way to memorialize her. And, what is better than a bitchin' diamond?

LifeGem is a company that turns the ashes of loved ones into gems -- I'd actually heard of this before, but with humans, not pets. But, if Kimora chooses this route, she can opt for a blue, colorless, red, green, or yellow diamond and get just about any size she wants (depending on how much of the remains she can provide). The smallest options start at under $3,000 for a yellow diamond and progress steadily upward, but you know price is no object for Kimora.

Love your pet? Wear him!

I have two dogs and I love them like they're my kids (other than the whole sticking them in a crate thing -- I hear you're not supposed to do that with human children). However, when I saw the following headline, I thought that maybe, just maybe, this couple had taken things a little too far:

Hair of the dog: The animal lovers who turned their dead pets' coats into woolly jumpers.

Thanks for that, Daily Mail.

But, actually, it's not as creepy as it sounds. Beth and Brian Willis learned from their breeder that their white Samoyed's fur makes great clothing, so while the dog was still alive, they had a sweater knitted from the fur she had shed. It's apparently extremely warm and durable and softer than alpaca. They went on to have clothing knitted from their other dog's fur, too -- I'm sure she was feeling left out.

According to the article, making clothing from the fur of long-haired dogs is fairly common (Did you know that? I didn't!). I guess it makes sense -- instead of clogging up your vacuum with dog hair, create some furry fashion. I'm just not sure I'm ready to wear my pooches in any form, no matter how cozy it might be. How about you?

Haute Holiday Gift Guide: Presents for your pet

Filed under: Holiday Style, Gift Guides

Holiday Gifts for your Pets
It's Christmas time, doggie style. Let's face it. Dogs are cool, way cool. Dog owners and pet lovers treat dogs with the same respect that humans get on the holidays, which means receiving gifts and lots of them. This holiday season dogs have it made because the selection of cool pet gifts is out of this world.

Style me pretty: Forget the standard flee bath, there are a lot more beautiful options available for dogs these days. For a luxurious coat bathe your pooch in Keihls pet wash and for nails that shine, paint them the perfect shade of pink with a bottle of Juicy Couture dog nail polish. Now that your pet is picture perfect turn them into a work of art with a custom Warhol inspired painting.

Eat, sleep, and play: Ah the life of a dog! Don't just gift them with the average squeak toy from the supermarket, give them something more fun to chew on like a leopard print bra or a "Chuicy Couture" bag. Don't even think about handing your posh pet a milk bone; doggie candy canes and cookies are a much better choice. Once your dog slips into it's food coma lay them down on something soft and bright like this "Fat Boy" dog bed.

Dog wigs are animal "style"

Filed under: Accessories

I was actually late coming into the office yesterday because of the Today Show, which always entertains me in the morning. I don't actually watch the Today Show for news because very rarely will I find actual "news" there (I prefer watching CNN for the news). What I did find in place of news today was a very old woman discussing her dog wig company.

Yes, you read that correctly -- wigs for dogs!

Why a dog would need a wig is beyond me. Dogs are covered in fur! Dog clothing is one thing because that can be pretty cute, but wigs?! It was pretty amazing watching the segment because Al and the gang could hardly contain their laughter. There were dogs with comb-overs, blue wigs, braids ... you name it.

I wish I could give you a more informed post, but I was laughing way too hard to actually hear the interview. I think the photos speak for themselves. I managed to find a gallery online today, please be sure to check it out.

Canines as accessories

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Celebrities with Style

A customer walked into my store last week holding the tiniest, fluffiest, cutest little dog I have ever seen in my entire life. The white Maltese puppy was named "Coach," had a tiny Coach collar and leash, and, to top it all off, was wearing a little sweater with the message "My owner is hotter than yours" embroidered in pastel pink script.

I know this isn't breaking news; fashionistas have been toting tiny canines around Hollywood for a while now, but I live in Texas. Most of the time, once a trend has made it all the way down to the Lone Star State, I can feel pretty confident that it's....well.....over.

I'm worried, though, that carrying pint-size pups doesn't fall into the "passing trend" category. According to a recent article in the New York Times fashion section, little canines, or "sleeve dogs," have been a status symbol for ages, keeping women such as Marie Antoinette and Elizabeth II company, among others. And registration of many of the most popular breeds of small dogs has grown exponentially - the Norwich Terrier has gone up 91% in the last 10 years.

"I think of them as a handbag with a heartbeat," said Robin Bowden, a Manhattan real-estate mogul. And Rebecca Rand, a spokeswoman for the W hotel chain, said guests traveling with small dogs have become such a significant trend that the hotels are now offering services such as pet pillows with special treats placed on them at turndown time.

I know, it's disturbing, right? Something needs to be done, but first I need to pick which dog I want more - the Yorkshire Terrier or the doll-sized Chihuahua. They both fit in my purse, but I can't decide which will match better with my shoes.
