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?

I realize that this window is a bit of a stretch in the colour compatibility department. I guess I’m just feeling wild and risky this week! Or, it’s that I just had to showcase these beauties before they find new homes and leave us behind. I’m totally head over heels in love with the Oscar on the right! The feather and tulle hem is so feminine and it reminds me of  that robin egg blue Chanel confection that we had back in 2014. The Prada in the centre isn’t too bad either…

L~1950’s butterfly print cotton skirt, size 4-6 Sold. Worn with a tank and a Victorian jet bead lariat/belt.

C~Prada dusty rose/mocha silk taffeta dress, size 2-4. Worn with a 1960’s crystal and pearl necklace.
