Gucci Dog Pendant


Finishing off the day of man and woman’s best friend, is a pup accessory by high end designer Gucci. Gucci may be known for their designer bags, elegant gowns, and comfy shoes, but their pet department is growing. After visiting their boutique in NYC over the weekend, I realized they really do love pet accessories (many are so pointless- like a pet sun visor!). But different strokes for different folks. If you love it and you can afford it, why not. While pricey for a drooling animal that sniffs other’s rears, the Gucci Dog Pendants are chic and shiny. On the left we have my favorite, the Gucci Heart and Dog Bone Pendant. This pendant is a heart shape made of nickel-plated brass and has a red (enamel) bone going through the middle. Buy it through Gucci for $90. And on the right we have the pendant that makes me laugh at the ridiculous engraving. The Gucci Square G Dog Pendant is made of sterling silver and has “Gucci dog” inscribed. Umm… that is soooo not me or my family or my dog or my great-great-grandchildren’s dog. If someone lost their dog and it was wearing that tag and I found it, I would have to laugh for an insane amount of time. But maybe you dig it. If so it is available for a Gucci price for your indulged Gucci dog through Gucci for $185.

Barney’s New York Palmellato Dog Collar


I am realizing one thing today; I am leaving out any animal that does not bark (with the exception of barking parrots, cats, fish, snakes, mice, ants, etc). So for all of you non-doggie animal owners: send me anything you would like me to cover for your precious pet! Some dog owners are not big into glitz, glam and costumes. Take my family for example and the recent Dog Star Nitro. Nitro is just a regular black lab. He fits into that typical American family, which many say we are. My family would never turn Nitro into Paris Hilton’s Tinkerbell, rather keep him simple. He can be simply stylin’ in a leather collar. The Barney’s New York Palmellato Dog Collar is designed from grained leather and is available in a variety of colors. This way your simple pup can still show off his or her different moods. For example wear light orange on a sunshiny summer day or black when trying to be low key



. The collar measures 55 cm in length and is 2 1/2 cm wide. Choose from a variety of colors via Barney’s New York for $35.
