Let's face it, we all deserve a little TLC. Sometimes, that much needed TLC can be found in the fitting rooms of a local retailer. No shame there. Self love and personal style go hand-in-hand. My lovely roommate, Mary, discovered the perks of the Nordstrom Rack nearby and added some finesse to her casual-chic weekend and workplace wear. After showing me her latest finds, I couldn't help but need to photograph the outfit options she put together. Watch out for this HBIC. She and her Aldo d'Orsay pumps are making a spring statement.
As the last part of our MSPCA pet adoption promotion, we met Jada, a 7-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix and fashion model who naturally loved the spotlight and knew how to work her best angles. Throughout this entire collaboration, I fought so hard not to get attached to the furry friends we met that day, but I honestly wanted to take this dog home with me. Not only was she so sweet and polite, but whenever I hung behind to snap a photo or two during our walks, she would frequently look back at me to make sure I was still there... (when I first noticed that, my heart almost exploded). She and Meredith matched pinks and posed beautifully on the front steps of the original portion of the vet building for an en-vogue look. Meredith is wearing the beautiful Kate Spade dress pictured below which is reminiscent of Jackie O's signature style.

As a part of our MSPCA collaboration, Meredith Wish and I met Spunky, a 10-year-old Wheaten Terrier who just wanted to play and be loved, and Gracie, an adorably sweet Pit bBull-mix who was lucky enough to get adopted that same day. We romped around the grounds of the MSPCA-Angell campus, played fetch and fed these two love bugs hot dogs. Check out Meredith's blog, ThoughtfulWish, to see how she styled her Kate Spade and Lily Pulitzer For Target wardrobe for the day.
Last weekend I had the chance to take part in a very special photo shoot with designer and fashion blogger, Meredith Wish of ThoughtfulWish and a few adorable animals. Meredith and I met at the MSPCA-Angell in Jamaica Plain and got the chance to meet a few new furry friends at the shelter. Meredith is a long-time collaborator with the MSPCA and struck up the idea to spotlight some of the sweet cats and dogs that are available for adoption.
We met Patches first inside a "cat colony" where the cats are able to hang out with their friends. He was curled up in a spot in the sun and clearly loved the idea of visitors there to pet him. He was a chill senior cat and rolled over for us upon greeting. He even guilted us with this pathetic stare every time we would spend a little too much time focusing on the pose and and not on scratching behind his ears. If you're interested in adopting Patches, check out the MSPCA-Angell for notes on how.

Let's get real though, my idea of an afterlife: just spending the rest of my days photographing fabulous fashion with kitties and puppies. Who could argue...
Ooooh... belly scratches.
