Geek Chic Pets
Someone recently described geek chic to us as "1980s preppy mixed with 1950s rat pack gone
golfing style". When we stopped giggling, Merry sat us down to explain it. It's about polo
shirts and retro track jackets. It's about pink, grass green, turquoise and yellow. It's Juicy
Couture. It's argyle socks. It's nerdy and yet sporty. Laid back and but preppy. Most of all, we
think it's all good. And very fun & stylish. Especially for those of you who have furkids who
want to be swingin' astrophysicists when they grow up!
Your pup will be all that in a
Princess Letter Jacket! A Poly knit coat with a decorative
elastic band and pearl snap closure in very hip pinks. Machine Washable. Comes extra small to
extra large. (up to 22 lbs.) ($52.99)
For comfort and style, it's all about the hoodie! Our
Princess Hoodie is a
t-shirt weight cotton/lycra blend, featuring metallic silver and pink embroidered lettering. So
hip it hurts! Sizes run extra-small to large. (up to 18 lbs.) ($38.99)
For the boys on your list, the
Brat Hip Tee Shirt is just the ticket. In a cool blue, this
cotton/lycra blend tee features Rhinestone or Stud lettering and is machine washable. (Merry
adores hers.) Available
in sizes extra-small to extra-large. (up to 22 lbs.) ($35.99)
Our
Preppy Puppy shirts are adorable in Coco Berry Argyle or Lime Argyle. It's a sporty, stylish 100% polyester shirt, form fitting to hug a pup's contours. Fits size 10 to 16 (based on topline). ($34.99)
It's the look of cashmere, without the work! Your furbaby must look stylish at all times, but
chances are they're not doing laundry. Our Reversible Sweaters are super soft knits made of a
stretch blend of rayon, nylon & lycra. Easy to care for, these retro sweaters are actually two
garments in one by simply turning them inside out for a second color option. Choose between
Dots, Flowers or Argyle pattern. Pictured here in
Pink/Lime, this style also comes in
Tangerine/Ruby or
Aqua/Cocoa. ($78.00)
For a stylish, retro look, we love the handmade
Cotton Candy Coat, with its cool, feminine
colors. Fully lined in pink faux mink, with a faux mink collar and a removable brooch bow with
Rose Swarovski Crystal heart, it takes geek chic up a notch or two! ($109.00)
Fashionable yet practicle,
Playful Pink Lily Boots a must-have to protect delicate feet from
heat and cold. This set of 4 boots featured vinyl uppers, rubber soles, and neoprene tongues
which helps avoid fur from getting caught. Zipper and velcro closures. (Also available in
Kiwi Green) ($83.00)
In a super preppy pink plaid, this
Pink Plaid Carrier is pretty and stylish. All your princess
needs is a pair of glasses to pull off that "off to Harvard" look! It features dual stainless
steel bone-shaped zipper pulls and two storage pockets. With the roll-up flap, Fifi won't miss
any of the action. Matching cushioned pad is removable and fully washable. Available in small,
medium and large (up to 15 lbs). ($125-175, depending on size)
Others will be green with envy when they see you've gone a little preppy with one of these
Crocodile carriers. And you cannot go wrong with green these days. In fact, word on the street
is that it's "the new pink". Merry may not be sure about that, but she does think the
Green Crocodile Bali Carrier is a gorgeous bag. And she couldn't be more right; Hand made in the USA,
it features a fine grain leather top and trim, long leather handle, inside pocket, two side mesh
air ventilation windows and dual-zipper front entry. The small size fits under the seat on most
airlines (up to 12 lbs). ($300-340, depending on size)
It's all about the pink faux fur, darling. Really. Our
mu*shu Barbie Pink Faux Mink Dog Carrier is high fashion and high style. Comes with a washable fur plush cushion, with front and back
mesh vents and an inner safety leash clip. Pockets stay closed with a magnetic snap on top. This
fab bag has an opening on one side so your furbaby can hang his or her head out. Not into pink?
This great carrier comes in a range of colors and patterns like
Black Faux Mink,
Baby Blue Faux Mink,
Pony and
Zebra. ($100.00 each)
When it time for a good book before bed, there's nothing like a pillow style bed to snuggle
into. Our
Aquascutum Oval Cushion is a classic! A luxurious dog bed made in the signature
quilted Aquascutum check. ($200-450, depending on size.)
If you're after a little more of a retro girl look, check out the
Lucky Girl Dog Bed. It's a
square pillow style bed in multicolored striped, with lots of pink and green. With a heavy duty
fabric, cloth cover, the insert is a down & poly-fill. Fifi will be too cool for school with
this bed in her room! ($100-160)
Oh, and since you can't be geeky or nerdy without glasses, may we suggest some Doggles?
Pictured here in pink with pink lenses,
Doggles ILS (Interchangeable Lens System) are the newest
Doggles with interchangeable lens sets in 8 cool colors. (Sold separately.) Great for protecting
the sensitive eye area from the elements and the glare of all that snow! Available in
extra-small to extra-large. ($18.99)
