Dog Days of Summer
Definition:
"Dog Days" (Latin: diēs caniculārēs) are the hottest, most sultry days of summer. In the northern hemisphere, they usually fall between early July and early September. In the southern hemisphere they are usually between January and early March. The actual dates vary greatly from region to region, depending on latitude and climate. Dog Days can also define a time period or event that is very hot or stagnant, or marked by dull lack of progress. The name comes from the ancient belief that Sirius, also called the Dog Star, in close proximity to the sun was responsible for the hot weather. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_Days
I went a little more literal on the "dog days of summer theme" and combined dogs with a summery bohemian look to highlight some great accessories, for both dogs and people! Here are some images from the August.15, 2011 collaborative photo shoot. Check out the great looks, adorable dogs, charming poses and beautiful backgrounds.
