Is it spring yet?!

Yesterday was the first real snowfall Chicago has had so far this winter.  And yes, it sucked.  But I suppose I shouldn't complain as we've been pretty lucky up until now. 

When I finally made it home from the office last night, I found a package waiting for me downstairs.  It was my Marc Jacobs sandals just in time for the snow!

Unfortunately, I think I'm going to have to wait a few months to try these babies out.  But I practically got them for free from DSW with the help of some giftcards/reward certificates/offer codes.  I love a good deal!  Even if it means I can only look at them for now.  Some day soon.....

And the winners are....

Not a cat...but still pretty cute

So cute!  It reminds me a local fashion boutique here in Chicago where you can occasionally find a piglet scampering between the racks of clothes.  

Cats and Collaborations!

I'm sure by now you've seen all the images from the Jason Wu for Target collaboration dropping on February 5th.  One word: adorable!  Second word: cats!  All the pieces look super cute and I love the black cat print on the tote bag and scarf.  I only wish that they had incorporated the cat print into a dress or shirt. 

Of course I'm dying to pick up the scarf and the bag, but I'm also really loving the belted navy dress.  Such a cute shape and the stripes on the bottom are fantastic.



Needless to say I'm very excited for this collection, however, I've been burned by Target and their designer collaborations in the past.  Let's just say Missoni was a little heartbreaking for me.  I ordered a cart full of fantastic pieces from Target's website the day the collection went on sale only to receive an email a few days later saying my order would be delayed.  Then another email saying my ordered would be delayed even further and perhaps cancelled completely.  I eventually cancelled my entire order and only ended up with a pair of elbow length knit gloves I managed to find at a local Target store.  I was very disappointed with the way Target handed the release of that collection.  Their website was clearly not prepared for the kind of traffic it received.  I only hope that Target is better prepared this time around and that maybe the frenzy for the Jason Wu collaboration will be a little less intense than it was for Missoni.  Also, Jason Wu debuts in stores on a Sunday so I can plan to be there as soon as the store opens  :)

Best. Shoes. Ever.

So while browsing Etsy late one evening, I stumbled across the most adorable pair of handmade cat shoes.  They reminded me of the Charlotte Olympia kitty flats I had been lusting after but unable to find/afford.  I ordered them on the spot and approximately two weeks later they arrived.  So cute and comfortable!  Not sure how well they are going to hold up as the shoes themselves feel a little delicate.  But I plan to be extra careful with them so I can enjoy them for years to come.  The Etsy shop I bought them from sells other adorable cat stuff too. 

I also found this awesome shirt on Etsy that I bought for my boyfriend.  He received it on Christmas but has yet to wear it.  I think it's adorable but he's less than enthusiastic about it.  You can find the t-shirt here.
