mungo and maude

i know it's hard to find beautiful dog accoutrements. i'm always poking around looking for the antithesis of what paris hilton might outfit her dogs in. because i also have chihuahuas, i am very careful that they be warm without looking silly and since my taste runs high, it's not easy to find truly beautiful dog wear and accessories. i fell over when i found mungo & maude. of course it's british. it's all neutral colors and natural fabrics and i don't know that i'll ever see a weirder and cuter poop bag holder. those knit toys are beyond. my girls will face the rest of winter in their grey puffer jackets and i'll tote the small one around in that scrunchy sling bag come spring. and i'll look really anti-small-dog- establishment while i do it!

for a bit of doggy style refinement closer to home, check out the collars and reversible waxed canvas jackets from all quarters here. it's all handmade in new york and pretty preppy cute. i totally said doggy style, but at least i spelled it wrong:)
