Time To Talk Turkey...About Fashion!!

We think it is time to pause and reflect on a few fashions that are real "turkeys" and would be best shot and carved up.

First, the "woolly mammoth" vest, even in a luxury fabric these are over done and do nothing for the bodies they are draped upon.

Next, the "Pocahontas/gypsy" headband, they always look cute on the display, but somehow never seem to translate well to a real head.

The "snuggie", a blanket with sleeves?! Isn't that a sweater? This is no excuse to look like a dork.

The "overdone" black-tie flat, in this case too much is a bad thing. These ballet flats should be sleek and elegant, not the focal point of your outfit.

And finally, patent leather, rubber or spandex tights, great for the concert stage, not walking the aisles of the mall. They must fit perfectly, which on most of us is a challenge.

There is just so much great fashions items out and about, why be persuaded to wear such duds. All five of these trends need to be laid to rest.

Moi's Lastest Wild Hair, Fencing!!!

The Feline Citizens are sure their person has completly lost her wits. Because Moi has taken up the noble art of fencing, with swords and such, rather like Zorro or a Musketeer or a pirate. Only much more better.

As such Moi is now a member of the Washington Fencing Academy out of Issaquah, WA, founded by Kevin Mar, an accomplished fencer and vice-chair of the Western Washington Division of the USFA (United States Fencing Association), and Serge Timacheff, official photographer for the International Fencing Federation and chair of the Pacific Northwest Section of the USFA, the WFA is building a reputation in the Pacific NW as a first class training organization.

Along with Senior Coach Eugenio Salas, former Venezuelan world-team epee fencer, and winner of multiple medals in Pan American, South American, Central American/Caribbean Championships, the club is encouraging younger fencers by offering classes thru local parks and recreation departments as well as individual sessions for more advanced fencers.

Jazzy Investments to Spring Into Fall With...

The real question on every fashionista's mind right now is what does one wear to a recession!! Investment dressing is the catch phrase for this fall, and the Feline Citizens gladly offer their own personal favorites:

• Xavier likes the look of a menswear oxford in a high heel. Peep toe or patent leather, wear them with opaque tights with skirts or wide leg denim.
• Little Bit prefers a playful skinny belt with everything (including her considerable middle...).
• Fiona goes for a lightweight sweater coat, layering is always trendy and Fi likes the idea of something playful to carry around.
• Little Anne, always a lady, likes anything with a floral print. Stopping to smell the roses (or tuna treats...) is always one of her favs.
• Jassi J is all for a straight leg trouser, much easier for most of us to pull off and a purrfect complement to her lovely straight tail.
• And Moi? Moi luvs the look of a statement necklace. Whether you dig they grandmama's jewelery box, comb the vintage shops, or go for a modern hi tech piece, all will instantly update any look.

The Cattly Crew really knows how to get more bang for your fashion buck...

Ahh, Spring Is In The Air....

And fall fashion week in New York is in full bloom!! The fall forecast is not one look, messages were more muffled. The mix and match of casual and formal, long and short, tight and loose, were prevailing trends. But where one designer might show a flapper look, the next may have been inspired by the 1970's. Balance is the key for the fall season.

Here are the fall trends hitting the runways:

• Feathers-Less expensive than fur but surprisingly versitle.
• Dressy coats-Always a wise investment.
• Purple-The color was consistent throughout the collections, from Rock & Republic to Michael Kors.
• Tweed-A classic jazzed up with metallics, either with jodhpurs or in an evening gown.
• Strapless-Now considered appropiate year round wear, best with a feather boa?!

Getting Vintage Style Without The Rips Or Stains...

In theory vintage clothing is cool. But in practice you have to dig thru bins and sift thru racks in hopes of finding a purrfect gem. Only to find your gem is three sizes too small or has a coffee stain across the front or just the lingering smell of 1975.

Designers too feel the allure of vintage clothing, and now some of them are opening their archives and re-issuing best-sellers from bygone days.

Thirty five years after introducing her signature wrap dresses, Diane von Furstenberg is re-doing them in the original prints and proportions. This fall Coach will offer a new line based on the Bonnie Cashin bags of the 1960's with double stitching, hangtags, and candy colored striped linings.

Even Nike has a new line of vintage '70s era sneakers factory agaed and distressed to add a vintage look, even down to their yellowed rubber, irregular logos and dirty laces.
