Thursday night I attended an event at the Tommy Hilfiger on M St. in Georgetown. The event was hosted by Capitol File Magazine and 10% of the evening’s purchases were donated to the Washington Humane Society for their upcoming Fashion for Paws event. Fashion for Paws will be held at the Italian Embassy on March 28, 2009. Last year Barkley Square outfitted all of the doggie models at the Fashion for Paws event.

At Tommy Hilfiger I noticed some very cute Argyle sweaters which are a perfect match for the doggie argyle sweater we have at Barkley Square.

The event was a great success and we ran into several old  friends as well as made some new ones, including Advisory Chair for Fashion for Paws, Tara DeNicolas; Miss DC, Kate Marie Grinold; Miss Teen DC, Jasmine Alexis; Katherine Kennedy and Andy Baldwin.

We hope all of our Barkley Square and Karing by Kristina friends will attend this year’s Fashion for Paws event. Let us know if you are planning on attending…
