Designer Kimberly Jurek-Valanzasca wishes Minnesotans would dress up while walking their dogs

A: I don’t own any sweatpants. I’m almost always in a dress. My husband is from Buenos Aires. When I visit there, people get dressed to go to the grocery store. Same thing in Italy. You dress up to get bananas from the local market. It doesn’t have to be a special thing. When I take my kids to school, I put on my cute dress. Why? It makes me feel good. You could be just walking the dog. I think it’s good for the spirit. This is Minnesota, so people go to weddings in jeans. OK, that’s a choice. But you don’t have to follow that rule.

Q: If I really want to go to town, where are the best local places to show off?

A: The fun places in the North Loop that I love are Maison Margaux and the Argentinian place called Porzana. It’s always fun to dress up and go for a drink or dinner at those restaurants. I like Heather’s in south Minneapolis. They have a lovely menu. It goes without saying that Barbette is on the list. It’s lovely all the time. Moody lighting is always a great backdrop when you’re having fun with fashion.

The Favicon for the website, dogsandpurses(dot)com, features an all-black background with a minimalist line drawing of a puppy's head poking out of a stylish purse. The puppy's head is drawn with a cute and friendly expression, making it the focal point of the design. The purse, which the puppy is emerging from, is depicted with clean, elegant lines. The contrast between the black background and the white line drawing creates a striking and modern look for the Favicon.
