Kitty Cat Print

I love kitty cats! The concept of cat inspired clothes and accessories is nothing new in fashion, especially with the existence of the strikingly beautiful Charlotte Olympia Cat Flats. However, I've definitely noticed the increasing presence of kitty cat pieces in recent times. At the shops I constantly noticed a myriad of cat inspired shoes and cat ear headbands seem to be the latest trend too II really want to get one). This is wonderful- as far as I'm concerned, there can never be too many kitty cat pieces. While my collection is increasing, the one item I can never find is the perfect cat dress. I'm very fussy when it comes to cat dresses- I analyse aspects such as the size, shape, colour and facial detailing of the kitty cats which present themselves on clothing. I am also looking for a fit and flare style dress. After detailed analysis of the online world of fashion, I've found what I would consider to be the perfect cat dress. It's hardly surprising that they are both from Modcloth- it's always the place to go for that creative, quirky and unique piece. The Hooked on a Feline Dress is everything I look for in a cat dress- I love it how beautiful detailed cat faces completely cover the dress. It's like an artwork. Unfortunately many sizes are currently sold out on the Modcloth website but I'll certainly keep an eye out for this one. The Start Spreading the Mews Dress is simply the most creative dress ever. Covered in newspaper print, the dress features newspaper articles entirely about cats. Wow. What an idea!

Here are a few of my favourite kitty cat pieces. I thought it was rather fitting that I'm wearing my cat flats as I write this post about cats- I've worn them to work for the last two days and it's certainly brightened the day a little. The Charlotte Olympia cat flats are a genius creation and perfect in every way. I especially love the gold detailing and the golden heel. I also adore the white tapestry version of the Charlotte Olympia cat flats. I saw them in David Jones in Sydney CBD earlier in the year and I was completely amazed by their incredibleness. They are my dream shoes. For awhile now, I've regarded kitty cat flats as an essential piece for fashionistas! I'm not suggesting we all own a genuine Charlotte Olympia pair- not exactly affordable for most of us. I think it's fabulous how many alternative cat shoes are excellent takes on the original pair and how others have their own unique twist. For example, I love it how the pair below from Tuk via Modcloth are completely their own style- a fun take on a cat shoe. 

Another dress which I love at the moment is the white cat faced one, displayed below. It's beautiful and fun and reminds me of my little white cat Juliette Princess Miracle. My sister Tori from the Polished Edge has this dress and it looks amazing on her. The perfect kitty cat cardigan is also somewhat difficult to find. My absolute favourite ever is the one pictured below which Alannah Hill produced a few seasons ago- I wish something like this would be released again. My sister Sara from The Polished Edge has this cardigan in black and white and I love borrowing it; I hope I can again soon. In terms of cat themed bags, there are so many options. My favourite is the combination of detailed bold cat print (much the same as the first Modcloth dress I wrote about) with a tapestry effect. If anyone knows where I can buy a cat print bag of said description, then let me know! What a treasure that would be. I love cat accessories in all forms- jewellery, bags, brooches, hair accessories, umbrellas...I just love the juxtaposition between the cats and the rain! Are you a fan of cat print?

Juliette Princess Miracle

Unfortunately there hasn't been much of an opportunity to take outfit pictures this week so I will leave you with some pictures of Juliette Princess Miracle instead. I mean, she is much more beautiful and attractive to look at, right? Everytime I create these sorts of posts I find that Juliette Miracle has managed to get herself into even crazier positions than the time before. Juliette is truly incredible and very special. There are no words that could possibly explain the extent of my love for her. She is absolutely perfect in every way.

Juliette loves my sister's MacBook (and all computers actually). She is also a genius at company law.

I leave this shoe box out all the time for Juliette now.



This is one of my favourite pictures ever

I am totally obsessed with Juliette's feet

We are all shocked that Juliette went into this position without any intervention

Insane!

This is the ultimate photo! I can't stop looking at it.

Juliette Princess Miracle

Today I thought I'd share some pictures of the beautiful Juliette Princess Miracle. She is simply miraculous! I love Juliette more than I could ever describe and she has brought me incredible happiness in the time that I've owned her. I couldn't ask for a better cat, she is perfect in every way. She has a beautiful, affectionate personality and she is stunningly attractive. Her colourings are becoming darker so I often call her magical colour changing cat.

Have an enjoyable week! I'm looking forward to my first relaxing week in a long time since I've now handed in all my assessments. I can't wait to get back into blogging and knitting.

My Birthday

It's my birthday...

Item of the Week 020

Today I am featuring this beautiful oversized polka dot hair bow from Alannah Hill that I received as a gift on Friday. At first I wondered whether making a post about just a hair bow would provide enough substance, but then I realised that this bow is absolutely incredible and much more amazing than an average bow. This hair bow excites me so much! I often write about the fact that I love to stand out because of my fashion because I find that my personality makes me fade into the background so I definitely believe that this massive bow will draw attention to me. I can't wait to wear this pretty accessory for the first time. I think this would have contributed to a fantastic Valentine's Day outfit.

I thought that five pictures of just the hair bow would be too repetitive so I asked little Juliette and my metre long bear to model the bow for me. They were very compliant. Thank you!








Today marks my blog's three year anniversary. I simply cannot believe I've had this blog for so long, the time has passed by so incredibly fast. I believe I've come a long way with my blog and I like the way that my style has evolved. The blog world has helped me gain inspiration and develop my own sense of style and creativity. I look back now and my initial posts were terrible. I'm so happy with all the improvements I've made. My blog isn't as popular as I'd like it to be but that is ok because its an interest that I greatly enjoy and I am very grateful for the friendships that I have made here and I have learned a lot. Thank you everyone!

Item of the Week 018

Today I am featuring my beautiful cat pin which I received for Christmas from Rydog. I was so excited to receive this unique and exquisite piece. It is from an antique store and is truly one of a kind. It features flawless craftsmanship with real emerald eyes, a ruby collar and pearls and a saphire on the body. It also reminds me of my first cat Puss since it bears many similarities in terms of appearance. I love this sentimental value. Also, my cat pin is a perfect way to add style and class to an outfit. I save it for special occassions and wear it with my pretty dresses. Typical outfits I'd wear my cat pin with are featured here and here. My cat pin is, without a doubt, one of the best gifts I have ever received.













Juliette loves my cat pin too!

Photos with Juliette Miracle

On Saturday afternoon Juliette Miracle, Rydog and I had a fun little photo shoot together. I just love these photos of our little family. My sister took the photos for us. My beautiful Juliette loved the experience too! I wore my 70s inspired dress from Portmans which I posted here. It is most definitely one of my favourite dresses at the moment and I have worn it to a number of family events now. There are so many shoes I can wear it with. I usually wear it with my cream coloured or red heels but the other day I thought I'd be different and style the dress with my Seychelles heels which I showed here.
