One cute little local Santa Rosa, California company called Push Pushi is helping pooches brave the rain, "There are retractable awnings for our porches and convertible cars, so why not have a retractable hood for our pooches too?" The post also mentions another cool Cali company called Puppies Make Me Happy.

Before I profess my love for Push Pushi and how its jackets keep our pet from getting wet, there’s something else I’ve got to say. As a fashion, food and travel blogger I’ve strug…

In Lausanne, Switzerland you might find us stuffing our faces with a breakfast at Pancs Lausanne. In Bruges, Belgium one of our favorite spots is That's Toast because of its tasty bread based brekkie dishes."

"We have to admit it. We’ve got a bit of a bao problem. Bao, which are also known as lotus leaf buns, are pillowy steamed buns. We’ve criss crossed the globe in search of the soft fluffy morsels. We’ve had them stuffed with soft shell crab at King Bao in Orlando, Florida and chased down doughy delights crammed full of five spiced tofu at Longtime in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. After the long hop from San Francisco, California, U.S.A to Frankfurt, Germany followed by a lengthy skip to Saudi Arabia, we were craving something infinitely more delicious than plane food. We were thrilled when we stumbled upon BAOZI during our first night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia."

"We've had some successful shoe excursions in abroad. At La Manual Alpargatera in Barcelona, Spain we found espadrilles that are so comfortable you can hike around Montserrat (mountain) monastery in them. In Helsinki, Finland we discovered quirky sneakers by MINNA PARIKKA decorated with everything from rubber duckies to dazzling sequins. Our new favorite hunting ground for cool kicks is Buenos Aires, Argentina. Gretaflora is one of the high heel boutiques in the the swanky Recoleta, Distrito Federal, Argentina neighborhood that is worth checking out."
