What recession?

I can't take it!

To add to my ongoing list of ridiculously luxurious holiday wishes, NY-based designer Phillip Lim has recently introduced a line of glorious cashmere dog sweaters, shown here on model Oliver. Weep!

The sweaters come in gray, navy stripe, and bubblegum for a cool $150. To make matters worse, there's a so-called "gift set" which includes the sweater plus a red leather collar and leash for $375. All of the above available exclusively at the 3.1 Philip Lim boutiques in New York and Los Angeles.

And by the way... do not think I failed to notice the embroidered initials PL which stand not only for Phillip Lim but (hello!)... PETEY LACHANCE.

Why do the forces of the universe continue to align with a sole purpose of torturing me?
