Love your pooch and think she deserves her own closet of couture? Luckily for you (and she), this is “Pets in Paris” week at Le Dress (1741 W. Division). The shop, best known for its collection of great dresses, is encouraging you to bring your doggy into the store to shop for doggy dresses! Yes, you heard me! Fifty percent of pet purchase proceeds, along with 15 percent of proceeds from Le Dress house-brand sales, will benefit PAWS Chicago. The event ends on Saturday, June 27th!

Now, I’ve seen dogs in tees/onesies, but never a dress! Can someone email me a pic? I really want to see a doggy dress!

I stumbled across the Balm website last week and immediately fell in love with two things on the home page: the cheeky 40s/50s pop art and the image of the limited edition eyeshadow for charity. So, embracing my new obsession with beauty products, I decided to take a look at the collection and I found some products that I’m interested in trying (Bahama Mama bronzer and Hot Mama all-in-one). In addition to those products, there are the two which incorporate fabulous giving.

Kiss MS Goodbye – Overshadow Mineral Eye Shimmer ($15)

-Benefits The National Multiple Sclerosis Society, NYC Chapter

the Balm to the Rescue – Vegan Lip Treatment ($16)

-Benefits Pug Rescue

You can learn more about this company and the product offerings on their website at thebalm.com.
