Met Ball (not Meatball)

Despite the fact that none of us (what!!?) were at the Met Gala last night, we feel pretty connected to it since lavender-haired Nicole Richie was wearing Catbird there. Plus some serious side boob.

Lounging, Sienna-style

The Catbird holiday party was last night and we all are feeling pretty groggy this morning afternoon. I would like to take a cue from the lovely Sienna Miller - draped in Catbird jewels and the most amazing loungewear.

Studio Sneak Peek, à la The Glamourai

The lovely, sweet and talented Kelly Framel, of The Glamourai, came to the Cat Cave for a visit and then proceeded to write an article about Catbird that gave us goosebumps and then, well... maybe some of us got a little teary-eyed.

What We Love Today: Garance

I was pretty thrilled to see our Threadbare Rings on Garance Doré's beautiful blog. She seems to me to be a person who takes herself seriously, but not too much - maybe just the right amount - and her grace and easy style are an inspiration. Plus that's a really nice nail color.

Made in the USA

Steff Yotka wrote a great article in Nylon illustrating why it's important to produce goods in the USA:

...Brooklyn-based store Catbird elects to craft their namesake line of dainty jewels just down the road from their store. "One of the many great things about making everything ourselves in Brooklyn is our access to such amazing artisans," Catbird owner Rony Vardi explained. "We have such a talented crew who make all Catbird pieces, and that is partly due to the draw New York has for artists." Turns out Brooklyn is just as artsy IRL as it is on Girls. 

Think about it like this: The decision to produce goods in the U.S.A. isn't only cool and patriotic, but it is also keeping the door open for young artists to be able to make and sell their designs in America. Every jewelry designer Catbird hires or blanket patternmaker working at Pendleton could be the next Dannijo or Missoni. We want to do our part to keep the American dream alive for the next group of creators and craftspeople, and if we can do that while looking awesome, well, we like that even more.

Dream Date: Just a Girl and her Socks.

Now this is a lady who knows how to take a cat nap. OH, and?! She's wearing a Catbird opal teardrop necklace. Heavenly.

Most of us (okay, possibly just me) can't stop day-dreaming about getting a second piercing just to continue to wear these beauties on the daily with a second stud behind. Le sigh..someday. xx coco

Far from a Tomboy

We can never resist posting about the lovely Kelly Framel! We adore her for a long list of reasons, one of them being the way she effortlessly piles on her golden jewels and just like us she never takes her staple pieces off!
