The trend pundits are predicting color and lots of it, for the next fashion season. So why not jump right into a burst of bright orange! April 10th 2008 is Go Orange Day – every year on the anniversary of the founding of the ASPCA (www.aspca.org) the organization celebrates by encouraging everyone to Go Orange <... >
St Patrick’s Day is often marked with green beer and tacky “Kiss Me I’m Irish” t-shirts. You try to play along with some modicum of taste by wearing your favorite Kelly green fashion accessory, even if you don’t share the same heritage as Bono, Colin Farrell or Pierce Brosnan. Why not go green in another <... >
Not all of us are made to be a pet mommy or daddy. And maybe a fish may be more your style, even if you think that dressing up a pooch, and toting her with you would be so much fun. When you’re ready to adopt, go to http://www.PetFinder.com. And be sure to watch Animal <... >
How much do I love my pet? She sleeps in my bed at night, although she has four (yes four!) dog beds scattered around my home. She has more shampoos, conditioners and sprays than I do. And I leave the TV on for her, if she is at home alone for a couple of hours. <... >
It’s the canine equivalent of Project Runway. It’s Paris, Milan and New York fashion weeks rolled into one. In the dog world, it’s the ultimate reality show. It’s none other than the Westminster Kennel Club Annual Dog Show (www.WestminsterKennelClub.org). Every February, New York’s Madison Square Garden plays host to the most primped, coiffed and pampered <... >
It’s the year of the Rat, the first sign of the Chinese zodiac and signifies new beginnings. Predicted for everyone, it’ll be a year of new ventures, ideas, directions, and relationships. It’s also a good year for intellectual endeavors. Always wanted to write a book, or sell your handcrafted purses? Then sign up for an <... >
Valentine’s Day always stresses me. If I was dating, I would fret about getting the right present, sending the wrong message, making sure it was just romantic enough without seeming too needy. If I was single, I didn’t want to seem too sad, too stand-offish (in case that cute neighbor might want to drop by <... >
After a long day at the office, what is the first thing most of us do before we head out for an evening with our cronies? Freshen up of course. A lipstick application and a misting of our favorite perfume, and we’re ready for cocktail hour. Well, it’s almost as simple for pets to freshen <... >
Living with a big rambunctious dog means I’m always tripping over a toy, getting tangled with a leash or trying to find storage for a big bag of dog food. I try to de-clutter and minimize her impact on my space constrained home, without much success. If you have pet storage issues too, especially with <... >
I make New Year resolutions every year because I obviously don’t stick to whatever I set out to do. By February, my new diet fails with every candy bar I buy. However, studies show that we have a better chance of staying on track with our goals if we have a friend sharing in our <... >
Stumped for that little gift for an office mate? Or a thank you present for a thoughtful neighbor. And don’t forget your new BFF and workout buddy from the gym. You don’t need to have a dog or cat to get these great stocking stuffers that keep on giving. Give back to Mother Nature in <... >
A luxurious fur coat is decadent and cozy, a winter fashion option that envelopes you against the cold. With all the beautiful faux fur options on the fashion scene today, there is really no need to wear real animal fur anymore. You’ll look nothing less than fabulous in Roberta, from the Charly Calder Faux Fur <... >
The weather is getting chillier, and it seems that my pooch Darby only wants to snuggle in her dog bed for cozy naps all day. With the holidays, friends and neighbors are dropping by more often, sometimes with minimal notice for me to tidy up my messy abode. So I’m getting Darby a nice new <... >
I’m not afraid to admit that my dog gets presents at Christmas, wrapped with pretty paper and bows, sitting under the tree. My non-pet parent friends tease me about this – dogs don’t know it’s the holidays. Yes, they’re right but I want to share holiday cheer with my best friend … and I know <... >
On walks in the park, looking up has always brought endless fun for my dog Darby. My Irish Setter finds amusement with the rustling of the leaves, squirrels scampering on branches, and birds twittering in their nests. She knows that sometimes, the best finds are above eye-level. And in NY, you will find some interesting <... >
It’s getting chilly. It’s time to go shopping for boots to warm your toes, and cable knits to make you feel snuggly. Supple leather and creamy cashmere is enough to make anyone love the cold weather. It’s also time for your Fluffy, Fido or Fifi to bundle up in a knitted sweater too. Instead of <... >

Halloween is the perfect time to play dress-up, to let your fantasies take over. Be a superhero for a day, dress like Wonder Woman for work, which is what you are after all. Or bring out the Betty in you and go in an ugly bee suit! If you lack the courage to don an <... >
Do you love the sound of a kitty purring in your lap? Does even the thought of a soft cat curled up nearby relax you immediately? Do their playful personalities enchant and entertain you? Then come together with fellow ailurophiles (cat lovers like yourself!) and head over to Madison Square Garden the weekend of October <... >
