Photos by Taylor Sullivan Uptown, downtown, around town. Cat just didn’t know what the weekend would look like. And anything is possible on a summer Friday. This was proven swiftly and deftly by a just-out-of-the gate apparel designer Tina Jolliffe, who threw an insanely successful solo premier show… by herself…

Cat can’t decide if she’s in love or if she’s lost her mind. (Yes, Stacy, we know what you will say. Your thoughts on Cat’s shoes have been duly noted in the comments.) You see these green Corazon sandals from Re-Mix Classic Vintage Footwear are either the most darling thing…
In the case pitting retailers against designers, the Supreme Court ruled for the designers today (June 27). In a five-to-four decision, the justices chose to overturn an old anti-trust law that allowed the retailers to set minimum prices on the goods they sell. The question now: Will this drive prices…

Liz Claiborne died today at age 78. It’s very sad news, but Cat didn’t actually know all that much about her. She knows the woman was an icon who revolutionized dressing in the ’70s — when a whole lot of women suddenly needed a whole lot of work clothes. But…

This season is all about the brights, whether they’re in modish ’60s dresses or swingy ’70s-style maxi dresses. And the biggest of all the brights is yellow. In your face, eat sunshine yellow. Yellow that under normal circumstances should either warn you of a blind curve or a terror alert…
Cat is so enthralled with this Louis Vuitton heel. She wants it for herself. But at $1,060, it’s not likely to happen any time soon. But there’s a very similar pair at Aldo Shoes for about $120. That’s possible…..
Here are the rest of the sale items Cat found. Some tasty, tasty treats…
Too much fashion for one blog post! Cat went shopping on Satruday, doing her monthly swing through the boutiques and malls to see what’s on shelves. Sales, sales everywhere.

The New York Times reported on Saturday that Barneys New York was purchased by the government of Dubai — for $825 million. This is the fashion Mecca of the U.S. Seriously. Cat lived down the street from the Co-op on 17th, and when Barneys had its twice annual sale, people…
