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.
