    Me and My Pack

    Hey Friends!!

    This is such exciting news! My fun little dog pack and I paired  with Amazon Prime Video to help promote their new original series The Pack. I jumped at the chance to be a part of this campaign with my three little fur-babies. Cleo, Whiskey, Sophie and I will show you how much fun you can have with your Pack too!

    So our big announcement is that this Friday, November 20th, Amazon Prime Video will be releasing their new original series, The Pack. This is a new global unscripted series that celebrates the unrivaled bond between dogs and their human companions. The host will be Lindsey Vonn, the Olympic Gold medalist. How cool is that?!?!  Well what my pack and I get to show you is how much fun we have together. So here we go!

    We were sent a surprise box in the mail and the only thing we knew it was going to have was mega entertainment value for the pups.  Well ‘haha the joke is on me’ the pups thought the box itself was fun!

    They all came running when they heard crinkle paper and went crazy sniffing away. The suspense was real. The box itself was really cute. The show will feature twelve teams of dogs and their humans on an epic adventure across multiple continents. It is a reality competition show.

    It was great to learn that Amazon Prime Video and the show itself The Pack designed the show to benefit charity. The show will award a life-changing $750,000 for the winning duo and their charity, $500,000 to the winners plus an additional $250,000 prize amount for the animal charity of their choice. I mean this sounds so amazing!!

    Cleo was the most curious! She loves dog toys. She tends to snatch them away from Whiskey and Sophie lol. Oh well they will figure it out.

    Whiskey would like to thank our new friends at The Pack for the box haha! And Cleo was just not sure about this one.

    He is really such a ham… he is always ready to strike a pose. The pups were super excited about the fun pop up tent and the doggie fun/run tunnel. They loved the doggie play pen best I think though.

    Seriously everything was so shiny and new! My helpers were full of suggestions on how to best build this out.

    “I always feel like somebody’s watching me”. Its always the quiet ones…Whiskey!!

    We were having the best time that we decided to take this outside. I literally packed up my “pack” and our stuff and see what happened next.

     

    I opened up the doggie tunnel and I tried seeing if I could get Cleo (she is the most adventurous) to go through it. Well it took some coaxing but look at her go!

    Whiskey later tried once haha. At least he gave it a shot my silly boy.

    Sophie is the newest to the bunch. She is still figuring out how to play with the other two but she is so much better. Sophie is a rescue pup who was adopted out as a little puppy and returned back to the rescue group after three years due to “severe” behavior issues. She has been a challenge but with patience and love she is a sweet and confident little girl after just 6 months with us.

    Whiskey was a Maricopa County Animal Control pup that I saw online. My friend Allison went with me because I had never been to the “county” before. I wanted to bring ALL the doggies home with me. Whiskey was found walking the streets in South Phoenix. He was 3 years old at the time. He is my quiet one unless he feels he needs to be a BIG dog lol.

    Lastly is my Cleo, she was one of 4 puppies that I rescued in Cottonwood, Arizona. A lady’s dog had had puppies and she was giving them away. She has been one wild ride! She is a bit high strung but always HAPPY! She is the sweetest dog and yes I do know where her siblings are. They all having amazing families! And haha she got me AGAIN right in the face.

    I hope this post put a smile on your face. Having my own little pack is really been the best (even when they destroy puppy beds, toys, pee on my curtains, etc) lol! Remember to watch The Pack on Amazon Prime Video this Friday, November 20th because you’d better believe we will! Leave me a comment with your favorite story about your own pups!

  • Hotel Adeline Staycation

    Hotel Adeline Staycation

    Hello Loves!

    I know its been awhile! I  recently had the chance to stay and check out the beautiful Hotel Adeline in person. I excitedly packed myself up, oh and Cleo too, and off we went. Let the staycation begin!

    The Adeline offers valet service to help you check in right at the front of the hotel. I had a lot of stuff for an overnight stay haha #sorrynotsorry.

    Cleo was a bit unsure at first, but this was her first staycation without her brother. The front desk was so nice and had all my luggage sent up to my room so I could focus on Cleo.

     

    We were greeted with snacks and prosecco which was so lovely! I should have taken photos right away of the room, but the puppy jumped up on the bed and had fun lol!

    I just loved the mid century inspired details so much!

     

     

    Dinner look all set out! I am loving anything tropical and this hat and top are so on point!

     

    Cleopatra settled in for her staycation really quickly and loved looking out the big windows at the pool party going on downstairs!

     

    We were excited to meet up with Siara, a fellow Phoenix blogger and friend for dinner.  And Cleo got to tag along of course! The Adeline really did change the grounds so much. Its so pretty and minimalistic. This property was an older motel before and it was tired looking and the grounds were over-run.

    Truly love these details! (insert sparkle emoji here!)

    Dinner was delicious, I of course ate nachos—I know huge shocker! They were SO good!

    The Hotel Adeline has so many super cute touches throughout the property that are perfect spots for your instagram feed!

    I mean really?!? This place is just interior eye candy. A special thanks to my friend Siara, if you don’t know here give her a follow here Siara Rochell. She was nice enough to take photos of Cleo and me on the day we checked in!

    The next morning was an early morning shoot with Rachel, from Rachel Fischer Visuals  She came to take photos with me (and maybe an early morning cocktail was involved again lol). All photos from here on were taken and edited by Rachel. As usualm we had way too much fun. First, we got to sneak into the empty speakeasy to take some shots. The secret door is such a fun touch, but the actual room is so luxurious! The room is framed with heavy deep blue curtains that add elegance to the old-fashioned yet hip vibe of this place.

    The dark wood bar area is just gorgeous! I knew I wanted to feature this pretty orange dot dress here!

     

    I think that this pretty feminine dress is my favorite dress that I have bought in a long time! It is still available in all sizes and it also comes in solid white (on my wishlist). I will link it down below for you!

     

    We walked over to the pool bar area for my next outfit! I love this tile and want this for my house!

     

    You know i just had to get up here lol.  I love so much how these turned out. So get ready for photo overkill!

    Their pool area is so sleek and just beautiful! I love the long views of this pool so much!

    I am now longing for this “egg” chair from my staycation lol. I wonder if they would have let me bring it home as a souvenir lol

    Each cabana area has a lot of private seating and they are so cute! I need to get some friends together and join in the weekend pool party’s here

    Well babes, I hope you loved seeing my recap of my staycation/doggiecation lol of the Hotel Adeline. Cleo and I would love to visit again anytime. I love their signature cocktails and the food so much.

    Hotel Adeline is was real. Thanks so much for having us!

  • Gold Pleated Skirt

    Gold Pleated Skirt

    Hi Lovelies!

     

    I am super excited to show you this new top from Farfetched Apparel company. This is again from their collaboration with RISTYLE Consulting for the FURTRIBE collection. The lovely Risa and Farfetched Apparel just launched their winter line of the cutest logos for long sleeve tees and sweatshirts.

    I am just obsessed with this super soft top. The logo is perfectly fitting for me lol!

    The “Dog walking is my cardio” top is just so much fun! I styled it with a gold metallic pleated skirt. And some really simple gold heels.

    I kept my accessories about the same color palette just to connect the theme of the outfit a bit more. This gold chain purse can be used as a cross-body or clutch which I just love the versatility.

    Top: Farfetched Apparel

    Skirt: Forever 21

    Heels: Old Navy (other colors too); Similar

    Bag: Old Navy (on sale  $13.99); Similar

    Choker: Wal-Mart (for real when I was in Cottonwood!);

    Hi There!!

    I met Krystina from Funny Bone Pet Photography a few months ago when I attended the Bark Happy Pet/Bar Crawl. She was kind enough to help me foster one of the 4 puppies that I brought home one day haha!  When I met her and her husband I knew they were nice “dog people”, but she is also a super talented photographer.

    whiskey-cleo-81

    When I saw some of her photos I knew I wanted my little troop to try this. And, these two did really good! Ok so we took some treats too, but they still tried to sit and look at the camera on their own!

    whiskey-cleo-3

    We met at Papago Park which is located right in the middle of town near the zoo. It is a public park and very pretty. I was excited when I saw the mountains in the back all lit up with the sunset that evening.

    whiskey-cleo-24

    So my dpgs are very different from one another. Whiskey is the brown little dog, that I adopted directly from Maricopa County Animal Control last year on labor day weekend. He is a Yorkie Pekingnese mix and about 4 years old (we think). The other dog is Cleopatra (Cleo), she is a Jack Russell Maltese mix puppy who is about 4 1/2 months old. She was also one of those puppies I mentioned earlier. I hadn’t planned on keeping any of the puppies, but funny how this just happens!

    whiskey-cleo-43

    These two funny little furbabies make laugh every day (and make me crazy too)!

    whiskey-cleo-59

    The colors of the mountains were incredible that day and it was so easy with Krystina guiding us for the pups to be at ease. My only recommendation would be to take an extra person who is not in the photos to make funny noises to get the pups attention lol!

    This one most like real life Cleo keeps pulling to do her own thing and Whiskey just looks worried and unsure lol!

    There were so many pretty photos and I had a really hard time choosing. I loved working with Krystina and if you have ever considered having photos with your pets her link is below. Check out her site it is so cute!

    Hi All!

    About a month ago, I went to a super fun event, a unique bar crawl with dogs! A puppy bar crawl! I had rescued some puppies around this time while working out of town. I thought what a great way show them off and hopefully find them a good home! So off we went to this bar crawl hosted by Bark Happy (cute name right!?)

    There I met one of the vendor that day from Farfetched Apparel. I got the cutest tank from her shop, which was a brand new collaboration called Furtribe. This was designed and created with RISTYLE consulting for the dog lovers in all of us. These two talented gals have come up with cutest tees and off the shoulder tops.

    This tank is perfect and lists my 3 favorite things: Fashion, Friends and Furbabies! I had so much fun styling this shirt and wearing it around.  The company is based here in Phoenix and best of all they give back to local dog rescues and charities. Its puppy stylish clothes for humans.

    I hope that you check out this fun and creative company if you love dogs. If dogs aren’t your jam, think about getting a cute gift for a friend (like me, hint hint!!).
