What and Where
As part of the three-post series that I have for this fantastic Little Black Dress, this second installment is a motion photo shoot with today's star of Feature Friday: meet the darling and so adorable Tico! I've known Tico, my very playful neighbour for many years now, he might be European actually as he is never seen without his trusty beat-up soccer ball. I think it used to be a yellow one a couple years ago but he's now got a newly acquired, barely chewed on orange ball du jour, which, I gotta say is pretty stylin' against his jet black mane.
Evidently, shooting with a dog, no matter how friendly and beautiful like Tico requires a bit of running around, chasing after and yes, some shameful bribing to make him sit still for J to take a quick snap. Though I looked like a dork chasing him down the Courtyard, it was so much fun and I just realized something as I was downloading the photos (though I don't know if this is actually a good thing to point out) - Tico and I were actually dressed the same, sauf que, his pop of colour is soccer orange and mine is cherry red!
It's Friday and I bet ya, you can't wait to get out of your stuffy offices and let loose as you slip into something special and sparkly for the evening or switch into your comfiest yoga pants and loose 'n chic sweater, find a sweet spot on the couch and grab a glass of merlot, or two... who's judging? As for me, my lovelies, I think I'll soak up the last few rays of the summer sun, sit in a patio and order some Sangria, ole!
But get ready for next week: I've got some special posts lined up for you: Stylin' Tips, Fall Essentials and Feature Friday coming up!
It's a wrap people!
Ready for the weekend... Ciao bella!

Yes yes yes! I'd love to slip on some comfy clothes and settle in tonight with a glass of wine and maybe some magazines or a good book. Your outfit is fabulous, that red belt really looks adorable with it and I love seeing a flash of color! Enjoy your weekend in the sunshine! I'm off to Colorado to visit my husband's family. And yes, those scarves do ship to Canada!

You look gorgeous!!! I love that wide red belt. What a fun idea to do a shoot with a dog.
This weekend involves a SURPRISE birthday dinner for my husband! He thinks we're just meeting some friends for dinner but it's going to be a whole slew of people. I'm so excited! And you can bet there WILL be drinks after this last week! :)
This dress/belt combo is amazing on you. In the first picture, it looks like you're doing some type of voodoo to hold that pose and still look incredible. Your arms are kind of to die for. Work out regimen, please?
This weekend, I'm going to VA to visit my parents for my Momma's birthday. I'm SO excited. I crafted an awesome gift that I'll be posting pics of on Monday. I can't wait to share it with everyone. Have a super-fabulous weekend!
You look great in that dress! Love the black and red contrast. My favorite picture is the one where you're sitting with the dog on the ground--such an ironic photo, you on the ground with Tico while wearing a black cocktail dress!!
You look great in your LBD..and the furbaby too:)
Cant wait for the up and coming posts next week....have a fab night hunnie!!
Love the red belt for that extra glam! Happy weekend doll ;)
BR fits you so well!
Can't wait to read your new features, I hope you have a great weekend too :)
you both look great in black, although it seems the dog doesn't have much choice in the matter. But he's very pretty nonetheless. I love this saucy outfit on you! Were you going somewhere special?
Great way to wear that dress, adorable dog! Lovely blog :)

Hey Lovelies!
Sorry, it's been a pretty hectic (but really fun!) weekend but I really want to say thank you for leaving me such nice comments. I saw Tico today and I told him all the great things you said about him. He kinda drooled at me, I take it he loves hearing your wonderful words too!
p.s. I used to wear a looot of heels Patricia but now, flats and Ugg Boots are my feet's best friends!
You look great as always my dear.
I love your idea of Feature Friday! It surely did add more
spice in your blog ;) I can't wait for more excitement in Twentyyork!

Perfect perfect! now with animals too? well, I think that is great, you both look very elegant in black... I can see your love for animals, the dog loves you.... you can tell... thumbs up ML very creative.
You looked like a 17 year-old on that 6th photo with the cute hairclip and a shy smile, the cute dog adds to the drama, how charming : )
You look great and I wish Tico hadn't been so distracted that day!
