in the blink of a cat's eye.


H&M cat motif sweater | F21 cuffed tweed trousers | Miss Selfridge suede + leather chevron clutch | H&M foxtail keychain | Zara suede d'orsay heels | DIY dalmatian print nail art

When I was a child, I always wanted a dog for a pet. However, most of my family members are allergic to dogs, so we needed to find an alternative. After several fishes and insects, we still longed for an animal to cuddle with. One lucky day we were blessed with a kitty whom we aptly named Esther. Esther is one of the cutest and smartest cats that a family could have. And the most devious. And who deserves grapes served on a golden platter like any queen. Now that I live away from home, I ventured out one day to seek my own feline companion. It did not take very long before my boyfriend and I were acquainted with Neko at the shelter. It was meant to be. Neko is the most affectionate critter alive with nine lives. Even my boyfriend loves him despite his aversion to cats in the past. I have never been as happy as a kitty with catnip as I have been with my sweet, little furry creature. So although I may not have gotten the dog I always wanted, cats have stolen my heart like a ball of yarn. This sweater represents my feline fever, and my DIY dalmatian print nails are a subtle reminder of my ongoing secret adoration for dogs. Someday, Neko will have a little canine friend. But for now I am going to enjoy a much needed cat nap while dreaming of autumn. Meow.

the cateye makeup is by far one of my favorite trends of the upcoming season; it's so easy and versatile and just wonderful. and you pull your version off beautifully!

also, your writing flows very well. i always admire that in a fashion blog-- i think it's somewhat rare.

thank you.:)

My family experienced the same problem and was bless with our cat Fluffy. He was the best friend/pet anyone could ask for. He was a bit wild and acted like a dog sometimes, but nonetheless won over my family.

I adore the designs in your clutch and the tie on the pants is great!

That sweater is very pretty! I love cats, too. I've had so many cats. Right now I have 2 cats (one of which is preggy) and 3 dogs. My, they are so adorable!!! Recently I've mourned the loss of one of my cats. :( He went out of the house to go frolic around the neighborhood and never came back. :( I was devastated. And earlier I lost one of my beloved dogs. It was so hard to move on.
