Crazy Cat Lady:










There I said it, I'm a crazy cat lady and this shirt proves it.  I walked into H & M the other day and this shirt was smack dab front and centre.  I laughed so hard when I saw it and obviously I HAD to have it.  But come on, it looks identical to my cat Mika when she was a kitten maybe with a little Sabrina the Teenage Witch flair to it. Remember in the 90's when people used to take pictures of their pets and wear them on their T- shirts?  Yeah, that wasn't a good look until right meow.  I'm bringing back shamelessly exploiting your pets as wearable displays of affection, however with an updated look (one without the bad photo paint editing skills and kitschy font).  As I'm writing this post I also just realized how many shirts I have with felines on it.  What about it?    

The vintage gold chain and those mirrored sunglasses have become my everyday staple as of late and I can't stop.  The denim vest is borrowed from my friend Julia (who will be featured on here someday very soon for her wicked style and shared eye for vintage gems) - everybody needs a solid denim vest and the best snags are usually at your local thrift store or cut up from an old denim jacket.  Sometimes it just takes a little digging with an added personal touch to redefine the meaning of a "good look".

Poor Mika just went through a sugery recently so she's rocking this fabulous cone for the next week.
Needless to say, she's not impressed.  I still think she's purdy.

Country Style

 








 
 
 
 
 


Fall is the time for layers and what better place to be during my favourite season than "the layering city" itself, Vancouver.  An upside to enduring the rain and unconventional weather forecast is that you can get creative with your layers.  Doubling up on plaid and a denim chambray shirt is an easy way to create a light jacket for the day and just throw on a scarf or leather jacket for when it gets cooler.  The fact that I can even wear an outfit like this still in November while the rest of the country is getting frost bitten, surely is nothing to be S.A.D. about.
