Meeeeeow

So what do cats, books, and fashion have to do with each other? I'm not sure, but I think they're all swell.

Today, The Cherry Blossom Girl, who is beautiful and French, led me to discover a bit of cat fashion and beauty that made me drool. I like to believe that I am interested in fashion, but I'm not so hot at keeping up with the real thing, so I had never before seen these Miu Miu cat platforms, which have apparently existed since 2010. Gah! The librarian's cat would definitely approve:


Miu Miu shoes

Miu Miu shoes   (see more satin heels)
I need to own them immediately even though I am a repeat-failure when it comes to wearing heels. Unfortunately, I can find only their swallow-print counterparts for sale online.

A less expensive and more readily available cat product comes in the form of blush and lipstick from Paul & Joe via Asos. Uh, cats wearing mini top hats and bow ties? For $30? How would anyone ever bring herself to smash poor kitty's adorable, semi-expensive hat against her cheek?  I just want to buy one and show it to people as a conversation piece. The lipstick, I could handle using, but I'd probably lose it in my car after one use only to find it melted after a few months of Las Vegas summer. Le sigh.

Completely unrelated to cats, I stumbled upon a slide show entitled "Fashion Inspired by Awesome Teen Novels" on Lucky. It sounds great, but who on earth picked the awesome teen novels? Yes, Hunger Games is awesome and apropos to fashion and current pop culture. Twilight  remains vaguely popular, and I suppose glamorous sparkling vampires lend themselves to fashion. But The Baby Sitters Club, The Box Car Children, and Goosebumps?!?! When were those teen novels? Pretty sure someone really wanted to display some fun train-and-spider-web-themed jewelry and needed an excuse. I'd prefer to see some stylish stuff related to Matched by Allie Condie, or The Luxe by Anna Godbersen, please. Maybe in a future post here. Which YA titles, or any book titles, would you like to see translated into fashion?
