Wedding season is upon us and we offer a lot of style advice and recommendations for what to wear as a guest to the wedding or suggestions for bridal shower attire. We have even dressed a few brides for their special day! One of the questions we are often asked is, "Is this wedding appropriate?", now a lot has changed over the years, but we always recommend it's best to be over dressed than under dressed for these type of occasions. Of course, we also think you should ask the couple who's wedding you are attending as to what they...

Since most everything was rationed during the war, women wore Snoods as a statement of support for their war time commitment. Even though Snoods...

When Jenny Link from Auxiliary Magazine asked if I would be interested in doing a fashion show for their anniversary party, thoughts began to swirl through my head like, "Who's going to model?"

It’s a great opportunity to showcase what Cat Like Us is all about, retro fashions for today! (Plus I really like Auxiliary Magazine and they are good people who work very hard at...
