Henry Reads the New York Times

by

Yesterday, Henry pointed out a page in the Thursday Styles section of the New York Times.

“Mom, look!”

Unfortunately, even highly literate dogs like Henry can’t resist lying down on whatever you’re trying to read.

WendyB: “Excuse me, Henry.”
Henry: “My bad.”

After Henry got off the paper, I was able to admire a giant Macy’s ad for my designing friend Christian Francis Roth‘s Francis line. I think the dress in the lower right corner would be perfect for my gorgeous blogging friend The Preppy Princess. Lots of pink! I think the best one for me would be the second from the top on the left side. What do you think?

Henry says, “Click the picture to enlarge!”

And talk about perfect timing: gorgeous blogger Fashion Herald was just at Macy’s checking out the Francis by Christian Francis Roth selection in person. Click here to see what she has to say!

UPDATED TO ADD: Bloomingdales.com has the nautical dress that Fashion Herald admired for 30% off, but only in sizes 8 and 10. If one of those is your size, go for it!

Also, the pocket-square jacket that Fashion Herald posted is 30% off at Bloomingdales here (my kilt-pin skirt is 30% off at Bloomies too). Meanwhile, at Nordstrom, the adorable Nerd Bird vest La Herald picked out is 40% off. Click here. I’ve got the matching jacket to that vest, so if you buy the vest, we could be twins. You know how I love that. I wish I could tell you how much everything is at Macy’s since Macy’s inspired this whole post but, alas, Macy’s doesn’t have the Francis line on its website.

UPDATED AGAIN TO ADD: Ever alert, Henry pointed out that my other designing friend, Zang Toi, made it onto Bill Cunningham’s party photo page in Sunday’s New York Times. The picture is from the Tulips & Pansies Headdress the Affair event that I posted about here.

Zang’s dresses appeared in the Times just a few months ago. I posted that here. Congrats again, Zang!

  2. I love the second dress on the left! I love Henry more though!! He is very handsome! XOXO

  4. Lol your dawggy is too cute. 😉 I wish I had a pet who loved fashion too! Those dresses in the cutout are really awesome with the splash of color…

  5. Henry is so cute! I WANT that nautical dress. Way out of my price-range right now, though. But I’m putting the image in my mental file as inspiration for a DIY project.

  6. Adorable, please share when he was a puppy- (cause I am about to pull every strand of my hair out) I need a nanny for my puppy…

    The shift dress looks FABULOUS, and nothing says “international” like those flags- perhaps I should don that here and I won’t feel like such an Alien.

  10. Ugh, the macy’s website annoys me like that. Get local, herald square! But i did see the pocket square jacket there yesterday on the 2nd floor, 40% off.
