LORI GOLDSTEIN IS TRULY IN LOVE WITH LOUISE! MARCUS MAM AND MRS. SIZZLE HAD A DOGGIE PLAYDATE WITH THE GIRLS LAST WEEK.

To quote the Lori Bio on her highly visited QVC line:
"Stylist Lori Goldstein's credo, "everything goes with anything", has come to define her aesthetic signature as well as the scope and depth of her career. From collaborations with notable photographers Annie Leibovitz of Vanity Fair and Steven Meisel of Vogue Italia to styling for designers Donatella Versace and Vera Wang, Lori's work has covered a vast range. But, her MOST RECENT benchmark—and perhaps her most proud—is LOGO by Lori Goldstein, an exclusive collection for QVC."

MAUDE, A STORY OF A DOG THAT IS MISSED, DEEPLY TOUCHED MY HEART

“I’ll stay til the wind changes.”

On Saturday night, the wind changed and our beautiful and loving and joyful Maude left us. In her wake is a cyclone of anguish and helplessness.

The wind that brought her to us blew up from the south nine years ago. Hurricaine Katrina. Along the way, it picked up a terrified three month old puppy in Louisiana and dropped her into the PAWS clinic on the south side of Chicago.

MRS. SIZZLE LOOKS AT THE ARTIST RORY GEVIS AND HER MANY DOGS

"Dogs have been part of my creative DNA for as long as I can remember. I would draw them endlessly as a child as I wanted one so much. So much so that I would make believe they were mine for real. Finally for my 10th birthday my parents gave in and gave me my first dog. Their personalities and souls are so fascinating to me...and their eyes....tell a million stories."

MRS. SIZZLE WANTS YOU TO KNOW HOW TAKE A BRILLIANT PHOTO OF YOUR PET

1. Keep it simple.

Simple = Chic. Simple, uncluttered backgrounds result in great pet photos! This puts all of the attention on your precious pet, which, let’s be honest, is what we really want to see.

Add interest with color: Colorful blankets, walls, rugs and toys, as well as geometric shapes and unexpected textures, are the perfect way to brighten up a photo and in turn will make your subject, aka your precious pet, POP.
