I love artist Evie Kemp’s stylized animal portraits. Obviously the dogs are my favorite, but her print shop also features cats, birds, and the occasional grizzly bear!

With the tag-line “Man’s best friend is a girl’s best accessory”, PAPERMAG presented a series of beautifully shot images recently in support of the Humane Society. Check all the photos and let me know which “look” is your fave!

This image has been floating around the Internet recently and, coupled with a few articles I’ve read about $5000+ dog weddings and the like, it got me thinking. Sure, I put a silly hat on Wrigley when he turned one and I even made him homemade treats from scratch. Oh, and we’ve shared some DIY doggy birthday party ideas before. But, I want to hear from you!

I spotted this super cute iPhone case at ICFF last month as part of the Designboom Mart. Available in 5 colors, each iPup case by Yun Seong Kim features a dog-shaped card holder designed to hold credit cards, metro passes, or even cash.

First: holy cow, this house is amazing. Second, I love that this curious pup is in just about every shot! He’s totally stealing the show.

Mungo & Maud’s new Bauhaus lead and collar collection is nothing short of understated, modernist perfection! (Can you tell I’m head-over-heels for it??) Each piece features a gorgeous palette in leather with webbing accents. My favorite combo is Chamomile and Slate. Heck, I’d be half tempted to wear one of the collars as a bracelet. Check out more stylish goodies for pooches and felines alike on Mungo & Maud!
