The Adventures of Promys the Dog - the humpapottamus

Promys is our 13 lb yorkie. We love him to pieces!!! But, he is a chronic humper.

We recently had our apartment redecorated which included the addition of a lovely faux fur rug. This was the original layout. 

But everyday we'd come home to this:

EVERY DAY!

So I had the bright idea to put the rug on the ottoman thinking, "surely he won't jump up here to hump this thing!"

I was wrong. 

African Print

I had the privilege of visiting several countries in Africa for my 13th birthday. It was somewhat of a rites of passage, if you will, to come into my teenage years in the land of my ancestors. That said, I remember my mom and I admiring all of the beautiful printed and textured fabrics. We had a couple of outfits custom made but none as beautiful as the pieces I've discovered at DemestiksNewYork. I first learned about Demestiks from a blog post from the beautiful Folake Huntoon of Style Pantry.

When I found Demestiks I was simultaneously overjoyed and overwhelmed. I wanted everything in every print and color way, stat! After coming to my senses, I was able to pull it together and ended up with 3 pieces, one of which I'm wearing here.

I'm still looking for the perfect belt to wear with this coat dress. I tried a black one but just didn't like the way it looked with the navy in the print.

Thoughts?
