Love dogs? So do I! International Dog Day is recognized worldwide on August 26th annually to celebrate all dogs and encourage adoption. Whether mixed or purebred, our furry best friends all give us companionship, keep us safe and healthy, both physically and mentally. I grew up with an Irish Setter, called Satan, that was the most «human» dog you can imagine, he even laughed. Till this day, I miss him terribly. Later, we had a Yorkshire Terrier and many Rottweilers, all very kind yet protective. Therefore, today’s post is dedicated to our love for those beautiful creatures.

Animal prints have been reigned supreme on the F/W 2018 catwalks, with leopard-print coats having a particularly strong presence.
Do you recognize me on this photo from 2004?
I am not blonde anymore but I still have this leopard coat…
Since many decades, fashion’s love affair with leopard print has been notably present in the glamorous world. This season, I recommend looking for a piece with contrast collars or cuffs to spice up the eye-catching look even more.

In the U.S., they celebrate Independence Day, or National Day today on the 4th of July. I have always loved this day when I lived in the States. Getting together with friends, we loved to fire up the grill for an afternoon barbeque with a cold drink in hand and watch the fireworks at night. Below are a few Independence Day inspired fashion must-haves that I compiled for you to enjoy.
