Eyed It or Tried It

Now that it's warm out, I don't know what to wear since I can't just throw on my most favorite hoodie from American Giant. Slate called it "the greatest hoodie every made," and I'm with them. Picture a favorite black hoodie: now imagine it in the highest quality possible. Detail stitching on the elbows, super soft inside, dense and warm outside, American made, oversized hood for maximum druid vibes, drawstring that isn't going to fray… it's perfect. Til next fall, magic hoodie. (Save 15% if you purchase anything through my link. I get a kickback, too. Everyone wins and we all feel snuggly.)

Lauren Gregg's Moonrise Kingdom dog print + Reggie's vet bill fundraiser!

 

Meet Reggie. Reggie belongs to my friends Shil and Lauren. Reggie has bad skin allergies, and the vets still can't figure out what is wrong. That adds up to some pricey vet bills. 

Lauren made this painting of Snoopy, the dog from Moonrise Kingdom, for a Wes Anderson themed art show in San Francisco called Bad Dads.  All proceeds from the prints she sells will go toward Reggie's vet bills! Right now you can receive 30% off her whole Etsy shop with the code ilovereggie! I have one of Lauren's paintings in my room, and it means so much to me.

"Was he a good dog?"
"Who's to say?"

A special gift: a Lauren Gregg painting

As some of you already know, my dear canine companion Majesty passed away May 1. I'm so grateful for the love and caring words my friends have shown me this week.

One thing in particular has been especially comforting: the gift of this painting by Lauren Gregg. It was an existing painting of Lauren's, and I had commented previously that the animal looked like Maj. This smiling creature floating up to space to be amongst the stars and the heavens is so special to me. My heart is glowing like ET right now for Lauren and her husband Shil. Now that I think about it, I've never actually owned an original painting before. My jaw dropped when Shil handed it to me at work the next day.

Next to it on my dresser is a collar made for Maj by Jonny Corndawg. I'm so glad I have this as a keepsake.

Thanks so much, friends. Losing a pet ain't easy, but it's worth it to have 'em.
