Regardless of whether they take cues from the hottest trends or
follow a beat all their own, people dress to impress and display
what makes them unique; and everyone knows that accessories
play a crucial role in the style game. That said, there’s one
accessory that tops them all, doing more than just gracing our
wrists or sparkling in our ears. Far more than any name brand
watch or designer bag, the four-legged friends who make us smile
and laugh are the very best way to play personal style.
Walk the streets of any city, and you’ll see it for yourself—furry
little mini-me’s who seem to personify the humans who give them
a home, and the stylish people of Destin prove that fact each and
every day. From chic designer pet carriers to blinged-out collars
and leashes, cats and dogs are being tricked out and treated to
the good life, becoming almost as much an accessory as actual
accessories.
It’s not simply enough to feed, house, and bathe them anymore.
We groom our pets and pamper them from head to toe—or,
more accurately, head to paw—and make them as valued as any
member of the family. And in return, they give us unconditional
love and devotion, greeting us happily at the door and cuddling
us when we need affection. Ask anyone with a pet, and they’ll tell
you it’s true—their pet is top dog (or cat), with a personality all
their own and a unique character that deserves only the best in
life. We want them to enjoy everyday to its fullest, with food that
puts simple kibble to shame and toys that keep them entertained
for hours on end. We walk them, work them out, and even take
them to our favorite restaurants to show them off and show them
love…because big or small, there’s no denying that our pets have
our hearts on a leash.
