Fido’s New Year Resolutions

1. I will eat less and exercise more

2. I will recognize the difference between furniture and fire hydrants when looking for the perfect place to relieve myself

3. I will introduce myself in more appropriate ways by trying not to invade human’s private parts

4. I will bark less at the mailman that I have know my whole life

5. I will try not to steal food if it is difficult and out of reach, I can’t promise I will not steal if it is easy to snatch

6. I will reserve using my puppy dog eyes when begging for worthwhile things

7. I will try to remember the garbage is not a large version of my treat jar

Wishing everyone a safe and happy new year!

Most Influential In Fashion

The voting results are in! Refinery 29 names Janie Bryant, costume designer for Mad Men, as the most influential person in fashion.  Not since Patricia Field, stylist for Sex and the City, has a TV costume designer had such influence over our wardrobes and closets…but who is complaining.  We love Bryant’s style of elegance and glamour of the 50s and 60s not only in Mad Med but in the launch of her Janie Bryant MOD collection for QVC in September.
