It seems like it might be warming up a bit....

Flowers are blooming, the sun is out, and allergies are acting up :( Or at least mine are! Anyhow, staying cute and hip is still important in the warmer months and I've got your pooch covered. I've been working on some new collars so check our shop often for the latest and greatest. In the meantime, here is one of the newest:

This fun and sassy collar is sure to draw tons of positive attention wherever your pooch wears it! It is a beautiful shade of aqua marine color that subtly transitions into a vibrant royal blue. The floral design is delicately outlined in white, adding a dainty and feminine touch. The black contour, no-choke, side-release buckle and adjustable slider will ensure safety and comfort for your best pal. The nickel D-ring is also sturdy enough to attach a leash to and perfect for tags. This collar is inner lined with high-quality webbing, making it not only chic but very durable as well. The exterior fabric is 100% cotton, meaning it will last, stay looking fabulous, and will be easy to care for! Best of all, it is soft and very comfortable for dogs to wear. Stress points have been stitched several times through to ensure security and for prolonged durability

Have you seen our newest trench coat?

Have no fear, the rain trench coat is here! No more wet dog smell after your morning walk in the rain! This durable blue coat is made of water-resistant 100% cotton-faced plain weave denim which has been rubber-backed for waterproofing. This coat is completely lined with warm yellow fleece, meaning this coat will not only keep your pooch dry but super warm as well. It is slightly long in design to protect most of your pooch’s body from severe weather but significantly shorter in the front for ease (and no messes)during potty time. A turn-down collar protects your furry pal’s neck from the rain while also keeping them warm. It has an easy slip-over-the-head design with top and bottom panels that come together at the sides and are secured by an adjustable belt ensuring a perfect and comfortable fit. The smart, sleeveless design means no more tracking mud into the house. A convenient d-ring is located on top of the back to allow a leash to be attached without the need of holes for collars, harnesses, etc. Just get your pooch dressed and out the door you go!

All eyes on Molly and Sadey

Here I go again.... I have to brag about this because these girls look so absolutely adorable! I've already told you about Roni, the owner of Daisy Wares, a shop on Etsy, and how she is a lovely customer and bought a dress from us for her dog, Molly. She came back to buy more but this time, it was for both of her girls. She wanted the same razor-back design that she had bought for Molly and ended up getting both Molly and Sadey matching dresses in the same style but a pink floral print. Isn't that precious? (Sadey is the big girl and Molly is the little one)

have you seen this yet?

ok... so I realize it has been a while since the last post, but I've been away and super busy. Last week, I was off and Velma and I headed up to Seattle to explore, relax, shop and have a blast. We are back and ready to rock! Before we left, I listed our newest spring jacket. However, I normally do a little bit of promotion for each of our new items when they first debut. This one was slightly neglected since it was such a last minute listing before our trip. Anyhow, here it is!

This cute and convenient coat is the perfect jacket for those chilly spring and summer nights. It is made of lightweight and soft cotton weave making it perfectly comfortable to play in. One side is pastel yellow with white embroidered swirls while the other side is more subdued khaki with yellow topstitching detail. Closures are located at the front of the chest as well as at the side. The strap-on design makes it easy to move in and easy for you to put it on your pooch! No sleeves or armholes to worry about. You also have the option of selecting from silver snaps, Velcro, or traditional buttons with buttonholes for the closure. (If not specified when ordered, we will surprise you!). Your pal will feel stylish and comfy in this easy-to-wear jacket.

As Promised...

The spring collection is here! I have been hard at work designing and making garments that are, if I do say so myself, COMPLETELY adorable! So far, gray mock turtleneck sweaters, hooded raincoats, and military jackets have been listed for sale on the online store (http://designsbyone.etsy.com/) but check back soon because this will be updated regularly and items will be listed often in the days to come. Things to look forward to are razor-back jersey printed dresses (they have little daisies on them and are SO cute!), screen printed tanks with cute phrases and some comfy tees. This is not all though, so you have to come back and see what else we have up our sleeves :) And, as usual, custom orders are always welcome, so hit us up with your requests, we are more than happy to tackle any challenge you can throw at us! (or at least try!) E-mail requests to designsbyone@yahoo.com

Spring is Almost Here!!

With spring just around the corner, I am very excited to say that a new collection is about to debut as well! The new spring line will feature crisp, lightweight fabrics, bright colors, fresh designs, and comfortable styles. Girls will be wearing pretty, girly dresses and boys will look handsome in chic (but casual) shirts and vests. However, we have to keep in mind that it's not all sunshine and warm weather during spring. For those chilly nights and overcast days, we have debuted appropriately-colored gray sweaters. Check them out here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9838813. And remember the old saying "April showers bring May flowers"? Not a problem, we have your pooch covered (literally!) These are the newest addition to our line: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9885534. Check back soon, though, cuz spring fever is just getting started and new items will be launched shortly!

All Eyes On...

I have decided to start an "All Eyes On..." special featuring some of our customers' dogs to give them their well-deserved five minutes of fame. Each special will spotlight some of that particular pooch's personality, favorite things to do, etc. as well as some pictures of them in their favorite outfit designed and made by us. Of course, to kick things off, our top star and model will be the first to be featured:

All Eyes on Velma Kelly

My name is Velma Kelly and my mommy always says that I am the love of her life. I go EVERYWHERE with her since we hate being apart. I have not met anyone who has not fallen completely in love with me. Some people have tried resisting, but I always win them over! however, there are some people that I do not particularily like (i.e men and obnoxious children!). I am more spoiled than most people's children which is why many people say that I am a snob. My mommy disagrees, though, and says that I am a perfect angel! Just like my fashion designer mommy, I LOVE clothes and looking pretty. I get VERY excited when my mommy opens my wardrobe where she keeps all my clothes, fashion accessories, grooming supplies and perfume. She even lets me choose what I am going to wear! She holds up a couple of outfits at a time and I rush to the one that I want to put on. Pretty impressive, right? I have a full-time job being my mommy's model for her line and she even lets me make some design choices. Anything that does not obtain the "Velma lick of approval" does not make it into the 1+1=ONE line (Yes, I am being totally serious) . I can't say that I have a favorite outfit, anything that my mommy custom makes is good enough for me! Here I am seen wearing my gingham jacket to kick off mommy's spring collection. Want to look cute like me? Check it out http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=8684976 or e-mail my mommy at designsbyone@yahoo.com for custom orders.
