  • today.

  • We're going to talk about staying True and it is my favorite brand or my go to brand when I'm traveling.

  • Especially with my pups because it's accessories for both me and my dogs and we can match.

  • So if you are a dog mom that want chic accessories for both you and your pup, this is the brand to go to.

  • Yes, it's very cool.

  • I really like the look.

  • It's designed by actually one of candies friends.

  • Her name's Nikki and I just met her a few days ago at one of the dog events we went to um because she does a lot of dog events in L.

  • A.

  • And you know, to feature her products along with like the local dog products as well.

  • But back to her, she designed this herself, her own brand and she is actually a stylist.

  • I think she's still a stylist, but that's how Kandi and her met was on a set and she was candy stylist and they kept in touch over the years.

  • And then she came out with this brand ST rue for dogs, which is awesome because we're both dog moms and candy was like, I'm gonna get everything because these are all cool um because they're all very sleek looking, they're very stylish.

  • The designs are on point.

  • Um and she's a stylist herself.

  • So she kind of knows what's on trend and when you meet her, she's very stylish too.

  • And I kind of made a comment about it to Kandi was like, I love everything that she's wearing.

  • And that's when she told me like, yeah, she's actually a stylist and I'm like, okay, that all makes sense now.

  • Yeah.

  • And what really drew me to her brand.

  • I mean obviously you think, oh, well she's your friend.

  • Of course you're going to like her stuff.

  • Even if she wasn't my friend, I would have been a big fan anyways because up until before I saw her stuff when I was like, looking for dog accessories to match with me.

  • It's always the same thing, like a hat or a bandana.

  • And I'm just like, I don't I don't know, it was just like, okay, I've seen that.

  • I don't I don't know how the hat really matches my dog.

  • I just felt like it was just me wearing a hat, the same dog mom, which, you know, I don't, I just wanted something a little bit more um chic and innovative.

  • And when she came out with matching um dog accessories with it, Well, she came, she came with accessories that you can wear that also match um the accessories your dog is wearing.

  • I just immediately fell in love because it was like, things like you can put on your purse belts, um scarves, jewelry and it all like, really matches your dog with your dog and it doesn't even look like it's something that comes from a dog brand.

  • It's very chic and it imagines a lot of things I already had in my wardrobe.

  • So that's what I really liked about the stuff that she was designing.

  • Alright, well, do you want to go with some products?

  • Let's let's go over Some products were actually wearing a lot of state real products right now.

  • I'm wearing the necklace wearing the bracelets.

  • So these bracelets, you can actually purchase a dog collar that matches these bracelets and I didn't I didn't get that for Zoey and my pups just because they're really active and I don't want them to ruin the nice, the nice jewelry on them.

  • So what I did for them is I got them bandanas.

  • So crystal is wearing one of the bandanas and, and you can style it anyway, like this, or you can wear it on your hair and I put it on Zoe.

  • She's wearing a model for us.

  • Captain Captain is wearing the bandana like this.

  • So they're matching C.

  • Thank you for modeling is always wearing a different color one.

  • This is the black one, And she's wearing the beige colour one.

  • And a lot of times when she designs things um when she comes out new products, it's like limited quantities.

  • So, um definitely if you say something, it's better to just go ahead and get it instead of waiting because a lot of things do kind of go out pretty fast, especially like the limited edition stuff.

  • So I think I do believe this is this one is no longer on this site, but the one that Zoey's wearing, I believe this one is still up on the site.

  • So um if I get into the dog products, I'm gonna kind of go over the, this is called like the city collection.

  • And what's so different about her collection that I really appreciate, especially when you're traveling um is that this lease is short.

  • I know most leashed dog leashes at least the ones that I've purchased in the past there really long, which, you know, I think for like normal walks in your neighborhood and stuff, that's great.

  • But even then I tend to see myself wrapping it around my wrist, which is kind of annoying.

  • So when she came out with the city leash, it's actually a lot shorter so you can keep them really close to you, which is really important for me, especially when we're traveling to places that are new because I kind of want to tend to want to go off and veer off and a lot of times I don't know what's there, Like I don't want them to get into stuff on the street or you know, walk into the store, they're not supposed to or try to like talk to, you know, like some dogs like to nudge and touch people.

  • So to avoid all that, I like how these leashes are short and it keeps them close to you and I love the design.

  • So this leash actually matches the belt that I'm wearing and it doesn't even look like a belt that you would buy it from a dog brand.

  • Yeah, it looks like I just bought it from a normal clothing store, which I really like that.

  • It's very simple, but yet chic and I love this faux fur.

  • It is so comfortable carrying this.

  • I will say like these little things like the faux fur and another brand or another style that she has.

  • It's a padded inside here.

  • And this detail is very important for dog owners because I do have leashes where it's not pat and I don't have hoped for and it does like, you know, kind of scratch, not scratch, but it's not comfortable for your hands, you know, so this every time I'm using one of her leashes, I'm like, this is just so nice.

  • It does make a difference.

  • I will say that.

  • So this is the other color.

  • So I have one for captain and one for Zoey.

  • And so if you look at crystals belt here, waist belt, this matches.

  • Um this is also a person she designed and she'll have other like, accessories right now.

  • I think she's sold out of this, but she has another bag up there now.

  • But yeah, so this is an actual belt that you can take off and so you can put this on um another pair of pants or you know, skirt and then you can just carry this, you know, like this if you want.

  • And they're all well made to all her products like inside even its wind really nice.

  • It has like this soft suede fabric inside and there's like a little clear pouch zipper is really well made too.

  • Yeah, really, really well done.

  • And if you want, you can also wear this across your chest to like this if you wanted to.

  • Yeah, yeah.

  • So there's many ways you can wear it.

  • That's the thing I like about her stuff is you can mix and match a lot of the products.

  • So you know, I first only had um this purse with this belt and then later on I was like you know what, what if I wanted to change the look a little bit.

  • So then I got this belt um then I can put this belt on there.

  • And of course the leashes come with the matching, they had to buy separately.

  • We can get the matching color and I like this color because it's thick, I guess it gets better support for the neck and this is a clip on and clip off and that's how the colors look.

  • So if you think that's all but no, there is still more and one of the things that I immediately fell in love with and it seems so simple.

  • But the strap, so this strap could be used in so many ways and this matches the leash right here in the city leash.

  • So for example, I think crystals got.

  • So if you have a camera.

  • Um this is how I use it.

  • Sometimes I use it as a strap for my, my cameras stylish.

  • I know, and I'm sorry, I've been looking for a camera strapped for awhile and there just wasn't one that I really um liked.

  • And also like a lot of them had like so many like patterns and designs on it that just, I felt I didn't go with everything and I feel like this is like a simple um design that can kind of pretty much match anything that I have in my wardrobe.

  • So that's what I really liked about this strap.

  • And I know right now what's really popular is bags where you can remove straps.

  • A lot of purses right now you can buy um it comes with the strap and then you can remove the strap.

  • So that was cool that I can then um put this on one of my purses.

  • So then my purse is matching Zoe Zoe leash and collar and my belt and that's not it.

  • I also use it for um actually you have your phone, like, so you can also use it if you have a phone that has a little hook, which we do.

  • Yeah, this is a bandoleer case.

  • We always talk about the chandelier too.

  • If you want to learn about the Bandelier, we have a video on that, you know, you can put it on your, your phone.

  • So I use this a lot on my walks.

  • So that is the city of the strap that you can use for multiple different things.

  • And the fabric is really nice to nice fabric and it's adjustable.

  • So you can also get this petite bag which has doggy poopy bags in it, attach it to.

  • Of course the leash here.

  • Candy will show.

  • So yeah, they have like a little hook here so you can just attach it like this and it looks very stylish of course.

  • And a cool thing about these pouches to that.

  • It's a magnetic closure, so it's easy to open and close like this.

  • It's very strong minded closure too.

  • But yeah, it's just very simple.

  • There's also a loop in here, You can like put it through the loop like this.

  • Oops.

  • Yeah, it's actually would have clipped, I put it on wrong if you did it the other way, it'll clip onto that that way, you know, your poop bag isn't like flopping around.

  • So I had a bigger version of this bag and that she actually came out with this design first.

  • And again, it's like discreet, you can't really tell that it's a poop bag.

  • But the cool thing about this one is you can use it so many different ways like the belt that crystal is wearing, you know, I can put this through here and um wear it as a waist belt if I wanted to or if you if you're not into that kind of style.

  • No worries You don't have to wear it that way.

  • You could just, you know, put it onto a leash.

  • Like losing all my leash is, you've got so many there you go.

  • So you know, you can clip it onto the leash here like this or if you don't want to do it that way.

  • There's another way to use it.

  • Um, there are little hooks in here.

  • So we can you remember that strap and one of my favorite straps, you can wear it as a little purse.

  • So if you're going on a walk and you want to carry some extra things like your, um, your keys or cards, there's like a zipper here actually have some cards in there and there's extra room in here to put other things besides the waist back.

  • I actually like to put dog treats in here because I'm always, you know, rewarding Zoe or captain when they do something good.

  • But you can definitely use in front of things, keys, chapstick, um, whatever you like to take on your walks when you're going out somewhere.

  • I said, yeah, you can also wear it as like a little purse.

  • And I also love the magnetic closure because especially when I want to give them a treat, I need, I need access right away because once the moment's gone, it's kind of like, it's hard to train them.

  • So I love that the magnetic closure just like opens really easily and closes really easily.

  • So this is probably the one I use most often is this one?

  • I do use a little one, but this one I use more often because I like to always have treats on hand with me for my babies.

  • That's pretty much everything from the city collection.

  • And like I said, I pretty much bought everything because I loved it all and I fell in love with it.

  • So I had to get all of it.

  • She does have other collections for example.

  • Um this is actually the first collection I bought.

  • Um, let's get back.

  • This looks like a pink one and I have this color, but the colors are a little bit thinner come out.

  • Where is this one?

  • Has the pink one.

  • Yeah, and this one is um, it's a little bit more, I want to say it takes a little bit more time to put this on because it's an actual buckle like a belt style.

  • Whereas the other one, I can just clip it on and off.

  • But I mean I love having Zoe and captain where these loans more, especially when traveling somewhere.

  • We always get comments like, oh, I love your collar or your leash and this one also comes with a harness and it has a front clip too.

  • So if you're, if you're training your dog for the front with the front clip harness.

  • Um, the harness um, has a front clip and I love the gold detail, very nice.

  • This was the first purchase I made was this design.

  • I really liked this color scheme and this also comes with a strap to.

  • So, um, you know, if you want to match with your with your baby, you can, she made sure to, but you can match with Your little one.

  • So yeah, you can wear this to like that.

  • She does have another collection that came out, which I have not purchased that one.

  • But yeah, she's always coming out with new designs.

  • And that new collection is really cute too because she has tank tops where you can match with your fur babies.

  • So you should check that out.

  • Also wanted to mention that 10% of the proceeds go to mental health awareness and I mean, we think that's great.

  • We love supporting businesses that donate to charities.
