A STYLIZED HYSTERIA » chloe kitten

Pink elephants and lemonade, dear Jessie

Well, I have had a hell of a day. It’s like I spent the evening wrangling cats. Oh wait… I did. Yesterday, I visited the shelter where I got Chloe kitten and fell in love with another cat. So now I have two cats who really don’t like each other. And now I am outnumbered by cats.

Meet Calliope!

She’s a total cuddlebug. She contorts herself in the most awkward ways just to get her head rubbed.

Now on to the clothes! I won this shirt on ebay and find it perfect to throw on for work when I’ve worn jeans and funky tops too many days in a row and my boss is giving me the evil eye. The shoes are new- part of my never-ending parade of recent purchases. I wonder if the cat counts as a recent purchase? hmmm….

Because the best little secrets are kept and you’re my best little secret yet

Yawn. I’m usually in bed by 10:30 (don’t laugh) but when a girlfriend I haven’t seen in two years comes to town, well, I stay up. And I spend the next day yawning and mainlining starbucks. Yum!

On another note, Sunday was Chloe Cat’s 1 yr. birthday! She enjoyed some fish and new toys and bug killing. All in all, a great day for her.
When I first brought her home:

And now:

I miss her little shaved belly- so cute! Now onto the clothes!

Finally debuting my Sam Edelman Zoe boots. I realize at this point they are so ubiquitous that if someone were to put together a fashion blogger welcome package they would be the first item in the bag, along with a pair of wayfarers, denim shorts, and ripped black tights. But I’ve admired them for years and managed to snag them on sale and I will wear them without irony. Well, maybe with an ironic smirk.

I got more than a few stares in them, which I expected. Most women in Boston wear heels that are work appropriate and under 5″. These boots don’t exactly fit that criteria. I held my head high and strutted through town, feeling like a 5’11″ glamazon. Until I stumbled and nearly broke my ankle. Ah, good times.

I am declaring this weekend “internetz free.” My mind feels like a rubber band about to snap from constant over-stimulation. Last night, I parked on my couch and spent hours clicking onto random websites, barely paying attention to what I was seeing. Falling asleep was even more of a shit show. So I’m unplugging my laptop and hiding it and the end of the night and it’s not coming back on until Sunday night. Should be awesome. I wonder if I’ll get the computer-geek equivalent of the crackhead shake? (if unfamiliar, youtube Dave Chappelle. trust me.)

There are a few more pictures than normal- I wanted to show off my bracelets and I finally got enough light to show my blue highlights a bit better.

How much does Chloe Kitten look like a creepster right here? “Oh hai, young girl. I got some candy and catnip under the couch waiting for us. Don’t tell your mom. meow”

I’m a streetwalking cheetah with a heart full of napalm

Years ago, I bought a t-shirt from Wet Seal (remember that place? I worked there for years. embarrassing fact #1) that had the words Search and Destroy emblazoned on the front in silver. The skinny hipster (before it really caught on) in my English class asked if I was a fan of the song. He was pretty cute, despite the unwashed hair, so I said “Oh yeah, it’s awesome.” I had no idea what he was talking about. I finally heard the song last year and I was right- it is awesome. Anyway…

My outfit today isn’t especially Iggy Pop-esque. And my jeans are too tight. All my jeans are a little too tight these days. But it’s okay- I was tired of eating food anyway.

Chloe kitten was woken up from a nap and not in the mood to pose for the camera. Such a diva.

ps- that lil’ Sam Edelman box in the corner? You’ve seen these shoes on everyone else, but I finally got a pair. And I’m wearing them tomorrow!

Nothing like listening to tracks from the nineties while at work. Now that the weather is nice, I have nothing to complain about, and therefore, nothing to write about. So, uh, here are some outfits!

oh yeah, I put blue streaks in my hair. It’s pretty subtle, but makes me feel bad-ass and I already want to add more!

tights- plush
oxfords- nine west

Like so many others, I am desperate for warm weather and the opportunity to start wearing my summer clothes again. So I’m stuck layering for now.

Part one: pretty shirt. feels like spring. except for the goosebumps on my arms.

Part two: despite my animal print, I am truly a delicate flower.

part three: I’ve finally accepted the fact that it’s not yet spring.

part four: my favorite cold weather accessory for keeping my neck warm.

I’m not really loving my outfit, but it was the best I could muster after waking up to an overcast, rainy sky. Again. Just a little sun, man. That’s all I’m asking.

And how was your weekend? Chloe kitten had a playdate. It did not bode well for her playmate that she is twice his size. It was amusing watching her bop him in the head every time he walked by her.

I went to a dance class on Saturday. Street Funk, thank you very much. I was next to this guy who was absolutely terrible new at dancing and it kept throwing me off. Does that happen to other people?

I can’t stop wearing this top. LOVE IT. I “borrowed” it from my mom ages ago and… she’s not getting it back. Sorry mom!

Remember my aversion to business clothes? Apparently, Chloe Kitten has no problem with them. She’s quite happy in proper business attire.

Yes, my girl cat is wearing a necktie. I think it’s quite chic, with a vintage vibe

I’ll never get tired of this song. It’s so beautiful. And that voice!

When I first got these boots I had no idea what to wear them with, but this week I’ve been wearing them tons. Don’t worry, I didn’t blind anyone with my pink/red combo.

for Santa’s favorite elf?

I wish I could say this is the most pissed off I’ve seen Chloe Kitten, but no. She’s got a bad attitude, like her roommate (God forbid I call her my pet).
