Does your dogs outfit cost more than yours?








(Written by: Christy Penney)

Dogs and fashion who knew that would ever come into standing. Its not even just simple little t-shirts anymore either. They have gone to all extremes beyond dressing a dog up. They now have jewelry for dogs such as necklaces and hair accessories. All of which come in many different sizes, shapes and colors to match every clothing piece they have. Every accessory counts when picking out an outfit even for your dog.

The outfits that they come out with now for dressing up your dog, covers all occasions. They have dresses for girl dogs from simple to very fancy. The boys have little tuxedos to match the girl dogs as well. That way you could even take them to prom with you!

They have various t-shirts for dogs with many different sayings on them to match your dog’s personality. They have winter jackets that are actually very stylish for your dogs with many different patterns. You can get a designer outfit for your dogs as well and they now even have matching dog and owner outfits. That way you and your dog can go out for the evening and match from head to toe.




If your dog gets cold feet during the rough winter times, no need to worry now. There is a solution to all problems, the doggie booties. They come in all different colors and sizes ranging from x-small to x-large. No matter how big or what gender your dog is you are guaranteed to find a pair of shoes and boots for winter so everyone stays warm.


The owner can stay in style as well by buying a purse designed to carry your dog around with you no matter where you go. You have probably seen celebrities carrying these devices around with them. Paris Hilton is a huge one on this part, she carries her little pooch around with her at all times dressed in apparel that probably cost her more than what she has on.


Dogs defiantly have got a lot more spoiled and pampered through out the years. Who knew they would have the same options as humans have when it comes to clothing and accessories. If you’re looking for a place to find such an outfit for your dog or are just curious about what is out there in the doggie world, visit: http://www.target.com/, http://www.walmart.com/, and check out other top department stores for many other options.

Sandals in the snow

Everybody loves a pair of sandals. Yes, I can say that because even guys wear sandals. Whether they are thong sandals, flip flops, leather sandals, or "man sandals." They give your feet the ability to breathe all day and they are very light on your feet. Although there is one no-no with sandals, don't wear them in the winter! Your toes will freeze, you could get possible forst bite. I have seen so many ladies who wear sandals during the winter and the only thing that screams is MORON! Sandals are very quick to put on in this hectic day we all live so maybe that's why people do it. I have your solution, wear clogs if you even want to get that daring! Snow is cold and your feet will be to if people continue to wear sandals in the winter. Be smart, cover your feet up when there is snow on the ground.

Vintage

Ever since Hollywood starlets have started showing up on the red carpet in vintage gowns and accessories, vintage handbags and accessories are back in a big way. For those who admire the classic lines of fashion that resides in the past, your in luck because that is all that's walking down the runway, for the most part anyways. Some of the things can honestly be god aweful though. Do people really believe pink, lacy, ruffled dresses are gorgeous? Do they really think it is high fashion? If so, yikes, for me. But it's now an okay from the fashion world to walk out of your house in something your grandmother woar! Awesome!

Mix Matching Hair Colors

As much as I love a girl with can push the envelope this may have gone too far. Black eyebrows and very blond hair send off a slightly confused look. At first glance you see a lovely face, soft skin, pretty blue eyes and bold- very dark eyebrows. Then you see platinum blond, spiky hair. That of a slightly "butch" style if you will. I'm all for mixing and matching patterns, colors, and fabrics when it comes to clothes- but hair colors on the same head? Perez Hilton has tried repeatedly to pull off similar hair color catastrophes- like purple and black, hot pink, yellow/orange combinations- NONE of them have been successful! So ladies, high fashion will be much better off if you just pick a color and please- apply it to both eyebrows and hair!

Thank You!!

Beating the Winter Blues…



Why winter colors were assigned to be dark colors like brown, grey, black, and navy blue I will never know. Winter is gloomy enough in my opinion without adding to the problem by wearing the darkest shades too! I say beat the winter weather blues by spicing up your wardrobe with sassy bright colors. Heck go all out- try wearing bright pink, yellow, orange, red and sky blue and look in the mirror. You just can’t be gloomy in such bright, warm, happy colors! Just because we have to bundle up doesn’t mean we have to be boring! My motto this week is bust out the bright colors. You might surprise yourself at how happy and springy you feel just by throwing a little color into your wardrobe!

Hair Color


Everywhere you go, girls today are dying their hair. Some are trying to cover the gray but others just really want to stand out. We no longer have just conventional colors like brown, blonde, black for hair anymore, we have pink, green, blue etc. Some are even putting highlights in their hair so that their hair is more then one color. Some have just the tips of their hair a different color. There is so many different colors to choose from that its actually quite fun. Coloring your hair has become a way of life for some women. I found two examples of some extreme colors for hair. The one up above, very blue but tasteful. Even though this is a hair color that someone might not normally choose it still works. The other is the one down below:

This is the Celebrity, Pink. Her hair is very catchy and not a traditional color as well but it works for her because it fits her personality.








Now after seeing some examples, try dying your hair a color that fits you. Or if you like what your natural color is there's nothing wrong with that. Have fun with your hair, its like a canvas! You can do many things!
