Now your dog can have her own purse, why should you be the only one strutting around in fashion. This little bag is 7" big and can be put right on your doggy's collar so she can feel like she's stylin with the best of them.

With a cute little bone pattern this doggy purse is the latest in puppy fashion. This gives your little sweetie a place to keep things of her own like her chewing toys or medicines like Sentinel (which, by the way, will also keep your dog fashionable by keeping away fleas and hookworms).

Want to see something really cute. How about this video from a . It shows a smaller version of the pooch purse on the dogs collar. There's also a dog in a tutu, cute.

Not only is the pooch purse about fashion, but think about this. You're going on a day trip and you don't want to bring your dogs whole medicine arsenal with you. Just place some toys, a snack and a Sentinel in a baggie in the doggie purse and you're ready to go.

Just a few days, I was invited to the Kate Spade x Rebecca Ward event! If you want to find out about what took place, check out Kitten Lounge for the details. As a quick recap. Rebecca Ward is not your average college girl who is trying to decide where she will be going to grad school! She has already done 2 fabulous installations with Kate Spade in their Tokyo store and recently here in NY at the Broome St store location. Her medium of choice is Gaffers Tape which has a fabric like texture. In addition, Kate Spade created a special edition bag known as the Maryanne. You too can win this bag by taking a picture of an outfit that incorporates your love of color and placing it on Kate Spade's Facebook Fan Page! A winner will be chosen and the contest goes until March 12th.

Everyone nowadays makes super-thin fabric shirts that rip almost immediately. For me, the tiny holes always form right around my waistline. It took me nearly a year to find out that the holes were caused by a tiny splinter of wood digging into my waist every time I washed dishes.

Lesson? Do not do dishes.

I'm kidding, of course. We all have to wash dishes and go to work and live our lives. Clothes should allow for that. Which is, of course, why I'm so fond of Splendid and their line of basic shirts. I could have a closet full of their clothes and wear virtually nothing else.

Yes - some of their summer shirts are thin, but the fabric is baby soft, so it's worth it. For winter, I love their waffle-knit shirts. They stand up to all kinds of abuse.

Best of all, when I go to Nordstrom Rack, I always find Splendid shirts on sale. I have quite a collection, but when you love a brand as much as I love Splendid, you can never own enough!

"Sometimes Ralph Lauren does exactly what he always does: throws a tweed frock coat over a floral georgette skirt, and for some reason you choose that moment to go absolutely bananas for the tweed coat and swear this year it will be your look." So says a recent Fashion Week review in The New York Times.

Lauren has been around seemingly forever (forty years, according to their website), making classic and beautiful clothes.

I've always been fascinated by the designer - hardly a surprise since he and I share a name in common. In college I sported blazers and copied "the look" - very East Coast, very Connecticut.

"His genius, frequently noted, lies in his ability to exploit a longing most of us feel to elevate our ordinary bourgeois existence and adapt it, at least superficially, to resemble the more seductive contours of our social betters," says The New York Times.

I think it speaks worlds of me that I like his fashion, but my WASPish roots yearn for riding crops and saddle messenger handbags. Perhaps, as the quote implies, I'm simply a poser.

Mr. Lauren re-upped his contract to keep designing for Polo Ralph Lauren for another three years, when he turns 73.

This is great news for him and for his empire but, truth be told, "the look" he's created will be with us forever. He (and I) will never go out of style.
