Oo look at this scruffy little man waiting patiently (or should that be v. grumpily) for his mistress outside a London coffee shop. Thank you to Alix for sending emailing it in! XO

23 awesome halloween dog parade looks!

The 2011 Tompkins Square Halloween dog parade was full of weird and wonderful outfits. Can you spot some of my faves: the bulldog bride, princesses Beatrice and Eugenie (in THOSE wedding outfits) and the schnauzer fire engine (so cute!). Happy Halloween! XO

Model pups

O look who it is! It's hyper-gorgeous model Yasmin Le Bon hanging out on a stoop with an assortment of trussed up pups. Why? Well, she's collaborated with London label Mungo and Maud to create this smart selection if snug jackets and accessories. Love the little blue quilted jacket: what dog wouldn't want to wear that for a stroll around Hyde park!?

Lotta the dog!

This little Japanese dog is high-five-awesome! Picture foto-glücklich

Class photo!

Woah! Imagine having this many dogs. Devonshire dog breeder Jane Rowden (itzapromisepoodles) has 10 of her own (plus six cats and seven chickens), so a few pups are actaully missing from this shot. The big gray poodle is totes the boss of the class.

Sad face!

Love those dogs that always look grumpy! source:thelennoxx

Would you do this to your dog?!

Woah! Look at this dog in the throes of becoming Winnie The Pooh at this years British Dog Creative Stylist of the Year. Click here to see more extreme fancy dress shots!

Dog black board

Love this doggie black board from Toronto designer Bearius! It's just 18 inches long from muzzle to tail, so would make a perfect kids gift or look great standing on a mantle piece. Etsy, $19.00

Keiko and Miku

Brooklyn designer & blogger Keiko Lynn taking her mega-cute dog Miku for a Sunday morning stroll.

Everyone on board!

Coolness AND cuteness overload. Check out this hipster dad with his boys n' pups peddling around this weekend in Williamsburg. Kid in the back - immersed in his computer game - is clearly over the whole thing. But the mini pups are having their best day ever!

2) THE TWO-IN-ONE

We love this double-sided number from Mutts and Hounds, £45, notonthehighstreet.com

3) THE NYC OVERCOAT 

Here's Mike (my v. own dog!) about to take his new felt-lined waterproof for a spin on a rainy day last week.  It's from my favorite NY pet shop, Zoomies (and comes in lots of different color combos). Olive & Orange Sports Jacket, $60.

4) CELEBRITY DAWG JACKET

Jessica Alba and Robin Williams are just a few of the A-listers who shop at this luxe Toronto doggie design house. This hand-made "Joe Jacket" in camo green has more than a hint of Barbour about it and comes with a  polar fleece lining and detachable chest plates. $175, rufhaus
