52 Thursdays Celebrates Fashion For Paws 2014

Michelle Martin — Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:12:00 +0000

We were very fortunate to both attend Fashion for Paws this year which was held at the Omni Shoreham Hotel. You can always count us in for charity events especially when animals are involved! For those of you who have not heard of this runway show, it is a nationally acclaimed luxury brand event to help benefit the Washington Humane Society. The models who walk in the show agree to raise a minimum of $5,000 in just 10 weeks leading up to the event by taking part in a friendly fundraising competition. They are the bread and butter of this amazing fundraiser. We had so much fun watching these models strut down the aisle with their pups by their side, wearing the latest pieces that DC’s local luxury retailers carry. They were able to raise over $404k by the end of it all AND helped numerous sheltered doggies find forever homes that night! Such a fun event to attend, combining our two favorite things…fashion and dogs! Brilliant idea. Check out what we wore to the event and the shots we captured below: Michelle is wearing- Dress: Herve Leger; Blazer: ALC (old, find similar here); Necklace: Auden; Shoes: Jimmy Choo; Clutch: Hunting […]

Meet Lucky Dog, Luke Skywalker! Luke Skywalker is a Finnish Spitz mix, who is around 2-3 years old and weighing in at around 40 lbs. Luke Skywalker is looking for a home with no cats (since he likes to chase them) and no kids. He is currently living with his foster parents in D.C but is looking for his forever home! This sweet boy would love long walks and a yard of his own to play fetch in with his new parents. Luke Skywalker would also make a great running partner and would help you get in beach ready shape for summer! His foster reports he is a happy, adorable pup that spends most of his day snoozing and chill-axing on the couch. Luke Skywalker is a smart guy who would love to bond with you during obedience class learning new tricks. He already knows “sit” and just recently learned peek-a-boo. Luke Skywalker will need an experienced, dog-savvy owner to help him gain some confidence and learn how to handle change. Like most shelter dogs, Luke Skywalker may need a refresher on house-training. He is likely crate trained. Please help this sweet boy find his home, he will love you […]

Lucky Dog Friday: Meet Frida

Every Friday we will be featuring a different rescue dog that is looking for their forever home. Lucky Dog Animal Rescue is near and dear to my heart because that is where I found my sidekick Blanqui! Blanqui was our 6th foster with Lucky Dog and we are what you call a “foster fail”, this is when you adopt your foster dog. Our little Puerto Rican firecracker has brought so much joy and laughter to our house, we couldn’t imagine a day without her. Thank you Lucky Dog for helping us find each other! I hope that you will have a similar story to share one day. Meet sweet Frida! She is a 4-year-old Shepherd mix who was found wandering the streets of Puerto Rico! In honor of our Puerto Rican dog, I thought I would feature her first. She has had a rough life, and would love to finally find a home where she can get the love that she has never had. She is a full-grown gal at 50 pounds and is out of the crazy puppy stage, but still with a lot of energy. She is great with other dogs (as long as they are not […]
