I've always loved dogs, and having them around- and so I thought it would be fun to post about them- even though I don't have a dog right now- I told my parents that I would like to have 22 !! :)  Watch this fun u-tube here with Paris Hilton giving a tour of her "Dog Mansion" in Los Angeles- it's a trip! Looking forward to the cooler days ahead!  Cheers! DF *****

We had the most delicious "grazing" supper tonight~ and very good cocktails and conversation~ while bolts of lightning and thunder beat down!  The half light and the sound of the thunder was heavenly~and the heavy Summer rains created huge puddles, so we had to go barefoot~ahhh.... sweet Summer !  Sleep well, and enjoy the day tomorrow. Cheers!  DF *****

What fun to make a new mood board~ for my current inspirations and muses~ I'm watching "Roman Holiday" while dreaming of all of the above fabulous images...here's a quote from ultra chic all-time icon of all actresses, Audrey H~

I also enjoy "Fashion Police" with Joan Rivers~

Put on some lipstick and enjoy the day!
