Cat just discovered that one of her favorite boot companies, Lucchese, has a “State Boot” collection. Sadly, they only have eighteen of our territories represented, and none of the three states Cat lays claim to — Colorado, New York and Mississippi — are included. It’s too bad that all fifty…
Cat’s in the mood to shop for shoes, and right now she’s obsessed with this lovely pair from Emilio Pucci. Of course, they’re $648 on Zappos. Sigh. Although, Cat would probably wear them every day, so if we consider price per wear, they’re actually quite affordable… (still in Cat’s dreams)…
With fall clothes coming into stores, it’s time for one of Cat’s favorite rituals of the season: watching the Thomas Crown Affair. Rene Russo is just so damned hot in that movie; she’s electrifying to watch. Every year Cat rents the movie to remind herself of how she’d like to…

Michael Falco for The New York Times This apartment cost $420,000. Interesting piece in the New York Times about several couples and what they gave up in order to buy tiny one- and two-bedroom condos in the City. No shopping, no fashion, no cigarettes, no going out. It’s an austere…
And here’s yet another reason to love the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center: Styling the Modern: Fine Art Meets Fashion May 10 – July 6, 2008 The CSFAC is such a cultural treasure that many people in Denver are not familiar with. During Colorado’s real art heyday — 30s, 40s…
No, this one is not a joke. The New York Times reported on Thursday that Louis Vuitton has added Mikhail S. Gorbachev to its spokesmodel roster. That’s right, the last president of the Soviet Union — as photographed by Annie Leibovitz — is joining a very sexy Scarlett Johansson for…
Need a laugh on this Monday morning. Head over to Jezebel, where the editors have created a delightful prank for those of us who read both Harper’s and Harper’s Bazaar. The mash up includes J.Simp on the cover and a the Harper’s Index, which includes this little dig: “Average price…
Wonder what the Sex and the City girls will look like when their new movie comes out? TVLand has the answer. Let’s just say, it’s a cruel, cruel world. One populated by Bea Arthur as Carrie. (via Flypaper)…
Photos via V Magazine; Christy Turlington’s before and after is above, while Doutzen Kroes’s is below. Ever wonder what models look like before hair and makeup? V Magazine has a great feature showing before shots — when they came in the door — and what they looked like after running…
Photos by Taylor Sullivan The Corner Office is so fucking cool. Like so cool you can’t call it cool, because that’s uncool. So when this week’s What to Wear Friday honoree, Kymberly Robertson, suggested that we meet at the martini bar at the new Curtis Hotel in Denver’s Theater District,…
FirstView From 3.1 Phillip Lim’s Fall 2007 collection. Cat’s a little behind, but here are the ten finalists for the CFDA / Vogue Fashion Fund. The winner scores $200,000, mentorship with some big designer, and a spread in Vogue. (via Fashionista) Last year, the prize was taken home by Travota,…
Guess whose celebrity feet belong to these Crocs. Shouldn’t these stars know better — or at least have stylists who know better? Crocs? Seriously? Sure, it may be a home-grown Colorado company, but that doesn’t keep Crocs from being the fashion equivilent of e.Boli (or the imperius curse, if you…
With two of Denver’s biggest fashion happenings falling late last week and over the weekend, Cat had her bowl full of spicy summer styles to see. First Cat headed down to the Platte River Valley for the second installment in the Riverfront Park Fashion Series last Thursday, July 19. With…

Your weekly snack on all things fashionable and/or interesting to Cat. British Vogue: There’s a new man at the helm of Halston? Will the Versace boy be the charm? The skinny on models being too skinny and whether we should just feed them already and be done with it: Portfolio…
Photos by Taylor Sullivan Brandi Shigley is a force of nature. When she walks into a room, you can actually feel the atmospheric pressure change. She is a tornado of different fashion projects; on top of her small-business marketing company, B-23 Productions, and her local designer network, Fashion Denver, she…
Cat just got the sad news that Miss Talulah, Robin Lohre’s lovely shop in Stapleton, will be closing in October. Talulha Jones, her other outpost of children’s toys, tablewares, jewlery and other items filled with old-time-romance, will remain open at 1122 East 17th Avenue. Lohre’s even expanded the floor space…
Our associate art director came in today wearing the new skull vest by Libertine for Target ($24.99). It looks cute on her — way cuter than in this picture because she made it much less preppy — though she says that it feels thin and cheap. So don’t be thinking…
Wow. That’s a pretty striking image. And Cat will admit it made her think about Sisley when previously she couldn’t be bothered with their clothes. Does it work for you? more at twiigs.com…..
Cat got the official word: Octane on Larimer Square is closing. As of end of day Friday, July 20. That means all those super sales won’t be around much longer, so go pick up some cheap denim. Larimer Square won’t confirm who will be coming into that space, but they…
