Born a tiny fashionista Robin's love of all that is bright, fun, and fabulous began at birth. She immediately found a sense of calm and comfort wrapped tightly in a luxury designer, baby pink and white polka-dot jacquard knit blanket - her posh-tot look accessorized with the tiniest moon-shaped Tiffany & Co. sterling silver rattle.

As a tween pop cultural trend-setting styles became a passion of Robin's. With the latest issue of Teen Beat magazine in hand she scoured the pages to identify the must-haves of the season. She was often seen in one of the most sought-after looks of the '80s consisting of a baggy T, leggings, matching jelly shoes and jelly bracelets. Madonna's hit "Material Girl" reigned supreme in her world. As the '80s progressed so did the emergence of brand-name popularity, and Robin's closet swelled with the decade's popular designers such as Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Benneton, and Esprit.

Early on it became rather clear that Robin's infatuation with pop cultural trends and keen eye for style should be channeled into a constructive career. In 2003 a loveable Yorkshire Terrier named Chloe entered Robin's life, and the two immediately bonded. A sassy Robin felt compelled to catapult Chloe into a four-paw trendsetter. The duo regularly sourced new products that were fun, funky, and cool to express Chloe's bold taste and personality.

It wasn't long before Robin realized that she could combine her two great loves, Chloe and trend watching. In 2005 Robin launched HauteDogBoutique.com, a trendy on-line dog-shopping utopia dedicated to pampering pets and their fashion savvy parents. Robin had married the business skills she honed in her family's swimming pool store with her love of trends, ultimately creating an exciting retail mix of the industry's most coveted designers and a sampling of chic newcomers.

Since inception, HauteDogBoutique.com has received media attention from numerous industry and mainstream publications such as the New York Daily News, Cooking with Paula Deen magazine, The New York Dog Magazine, and made its international debut in the luxe Mercedes-Benz Newsletter . In addition, several on-line venues such as AnimalPlanet.com, ABCNews.com, and Luxist.com have featured Robin's collections. HauteDogBoutique.com also has received mentions from the Today show, Fox & Friends, and Good Morning America for its hip and innovative product selections.

Trend watching continues to remain an important part of Robin's daily life. Todays social and status-conscious pet owners are always looking for new ways to pamper their pets. Robin derives great pleasure in enhancing her two and four-legged clients' lives by providing luxury goods and services.
