Oh, hey Monday. What a lovely weekend full of food, wine, and long walks through the neighborhood. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving- it truly is a wonderful holiday.
So if you, like me, are being deluged by Cyber Monday emails, maybe you feel like shutting it down today. It's all too much and the deal chasing has become more of a chore than a value add. I'm over the frenzy- only a few weeks till Christmas and the countdown has me fritzed out.
And as I search for gifts for friends and family, I will say one nice surprise was the discovery of Beast and Babe, an awesome maker out of California who does these fabulous dog leashes and collars. I spotted them on Mrs. Sizzle's Instagram- ps if you're not reading Mrs. Sizzle on the regs and you have a dog or simply love them, you must. It's such a stylish, fun resource for the coolest dog stuff around. I'm obsessed. Love her taste and of course, her love of dogs.
I adore these leashes and collars that have a cool hippie vibe, perfect for my little scrappy doo. With names like Funk & Patchouli and Lazy Sunday, I love the handcrafted goodness of these fun accessories for laid back pups. Made from vintage fabrics from far flung locales like Guatamala, these pieces will surely get better with age. And yea, they're not cheap. But since I don't have a human child, I'm happy to pony up some money for Khan, because I don't have to worry about sending him to Harvard and enjoy giving him all that I can. (He's more of a Dartmouth man really). Oh and Beast and Babe is partnered with Peace Animals, a non-profit who works to spay and neuter homeless and neglected dogs and cats in Mexico. With every item purchased they help "provide treatment and vaccinations for fleas, ticks, worms and mange to an animal in need", so you can feel great about your purchase.
So take a break from seeking out those crazy deals and spend some cash on a furry friend or two. Great find, and thus, my pick of the day. Cause that's what's up this well woofed Monday in the borough. Yours, in puppy chic. XO
