We’ve been waiting a couple of weeks to do this window for you all. The reason being is that we didn’t have a 3rd item in the right blue to make it work until that Marilyn dress on the right came in. And then, voilà- display complete. Hope you like it as much as we do!

Are you a purple people kinda person? Well we sure are! Amethyst, with its rich saturated colour, is our fav jewel tone of them all! Please note that the Balmain on the right is much more purple than how it is photographed…. It also has an incredibly beaded dragon that goes across the back!

We are happy with how this black and cream window turned out. It’s sweeter than an Oreo, in our opinion. And it’s a real mashup of old and new. Can you tell what’s vintage from contemporary? We hope not, as good fashion should always transcend time. Mix and match new and old this autumn to cut an original look that keeps ’em guessing.

This week’s display is filled with busy greys, and we don’t mean of the hard working extraterrestrial kind….. Although we are one to enjoy a good conspiracy theory here and there, things have us too busy lately to be indulging ourselves. This little festival called TIFF has hit our city and the Meow Meow is abuzz. Have a fun weekend!

We’re back in the black with some heavy hitters this week. We love pairing vintage accessories with contemporary designer clothes! It really changes up the look while giving it a personalized twist that’s unique. Fall is soon approaching, like it or not… So when you’re switching over to your warmer wardrobe why not see if you can jazz it up with some vintage baubles? We have many fun pieces dating all the way back to Victorian times (our current fav era!!). You may just find a treasure that puts some pep in your step.

You don’t need to wake up or pinch yourself because this turquoise dream is real!  All 3 dresses have dreamy labels too; Versace, Chanel and Leger. We are getting feedback lately that many of you are finding out about the Meow through this blog. Are you a follower that has yet to pop in and say hi? If so, what are you waiting for? We have many fab items that don’t even get a chance to be showcased online because they get snapped up by one of our regulars! Fresh picks arrive almost daily kittens. So don’t deny yourself, it’s not good for your health.

For those of you who have been following the blog for awhile now you are probably aware that you can click on any of the images to get a close up. Well since it’s so damn hot out this week, I’ve decided to save you and your fingers from the strain of clicking by providing you with a close-up pic. How epic is the hand applied beadwork on that set from the 1960’s? We totally swooned & salivated when it came in! Eat your Wheaties though as this is not for the weak!  Each piece is quite heavy with all those crystals, glass beads and pearls that adorn them. Fashion over function though, right kittens?
