Pocket Puppies

So for the past 6 months or so I have had what some would call a large obsession with very small puppies. The ones that are like 1 pound. Especially yorkies. So, a couple of weeks ago I found what is now my new favorite store right in Lincoln Park. It is actually called Pocket Puppies Boutique and sells the fiesty little animals, along with all of the clothing you could possibly want to pamper your pooch like a real child. My favorite dog I saw there was a 10 week old yorkie that was 12 ounces!! It had already been sold, so much to my despair, I could not hold it. It was, however, sold for $2500, so I can see why its owner wouldn't want strangers tampering with its delicate little body. There were plenty of others available to hold, however. And hold I did.

The location of Pocket Puppies is at 2479 N Clark. For those unfamiliar with this Lincoln Park area, you should know that if you need to shop, this is a great place to go. I also noticed that there is a new coat outlet that just opened up on Clark, just south of Diversey. This place had coats galore and I will definitely be making another trip there now that I'm starting to remember how cold it gets in the winter here.

It's not just puppies and coats you can find on North Clark - you have plenty of boutiques, restaurants, shoe stores, purse stores, you name it.

And don't forget the best hangover brunch joint in town - Golden Nugget. The name of it alone is enough reason for you to eat there at least once in your life.

Of course my absolute favorite shopping area in Lincoln Park is on Armitage. Between Halsted and Clyborn on Armitage, you can find the best shopping in the area. Want the most delicious specialty chocolates you've ever tasted? Two different places will nurture your cravings. These are often popular for weddings and special events. Want to make your own purse? There's the Lisa Lill Studio, where you'll commonly find bachelorette parties. Want to smell fresh and clean? Lush will clean you up. Shoes? Plenty. Purses? Do you even have to ask?

So, if you've got a day to shop around here, give it a try. But prepare your significant other for the idea that you may come home looking like this:
