Todd Lynn for Topshop Cropped Tux Jacket / Illustrated People Skull Tee / River Island Faux Leather Leggings / Topshop Leopard Print Boots / Balenciaga Bag / CC Skye Crosses Necklace
It dawned on me a couple of days ago that I’ve been blogging for just over 5 months now & yet my Siberian Husky puppy Nico has, up until now, never made an appearance. Well, except for in illustration form – here. If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram you’ve probably had your fill of photos of him, but I thought it was time he made his first ‘official’ appearance, so our daily walk seemed like the perfect opportunity to get some outfit photos of both of us.
I think it’s a little scary how much we look alike, I used to find it strange how some dogs look so much like their owners & now I realize I’m one of them. We both wear ‘eyeliner’, dress all in black, have ghostly white faces & even seem to have a similar profile! I often wonder if people choose their dogs subconsciously because they see themselves in them, or if as dogs grow they take on the appearance of their owners…
I’m a bit of a tee addict & lately I’ve been buying a lot of them from Illustrated People, they have such a nice range of prints & the fabric choices & cuts are really quite exceptional for the affordable price. I find that’s rare amongst tee & jersey brands these days, unless they’re in the high – expensive price range you tend to get either a great print or quality fabric & cut, never both, this really irritates me, as to be honest, I hate spending a large amount of money on a tank or tee that will last maybe half a year before it gets grubby or starts falling apart. My only exception is band tees, I have loads on their last legs that I still wear, but as soon as one of my plain tanks or tees starts getting holey, faded or scruffy they get chucked. I’m currently in the process of making my ‘perfect’ tank, as I’m fed up with buying cheap ones or wasting money on them, however, my coverstitch machine doesn’t want to play, so it may be a while before you see the results…

Nico is so gorgeous!! I’ve always loved how siberian huskies look a bit like their wild counterparts, and you two make such a striking pair ;) I know what you mean about trying to find a perfect tee or tank.. in my quest to find a perfect white tank I’ve somehow ended up with ten in my closet! Will check out Illustrated People, have been eyeing their stuff on Topshop for awhile now. Good luck with making your perfect tank :) I wish I knew how! x

LOVE your dog and those shoes. I have to say though, you and Nico really do look alike. I often wonder the same things you do.. It’s just so bizarre how pets start to look like their owners (or vice-versa?).

well, your dog is completely adorable! not that dogs are fashion accessories in any way but I do think they make us look better ;) and maybe you’re right about us seeing ourselves in them – I think I look a bit like mine too!
p.s. yes, my dog is a finnish lapphund (and how the heck do you know that?! everyone always thinks he’s a husky although you, obviously, would not!
FAIIINT says
Haha! Yes they do, though he’s the one that get’s all the compliments when I take him out!
Aww, he’s much fluffier & stockier than a Husky! Just as beautiful though, it’s the mask & ears, most people think pointy ears + face mask = husky!
My Gran showed & bred OES’s when I was growing up & I was obsessed with dogs, she used to teach me all the breeds & I could reel all the Kennel Club registered ones off alphabetically by the age of about 5 (such a nerd, but she was so proud!), I can’t do that now, but still have a pretty solid knowledge of what they all look like, even the more obscure ones like Lapphunds! :)
