WATG x Catbird Giveaway!

We made a sweater! Our friends at Wool and the Gang a.k.a the coolest girls in knitting helped us design this oh-so-cozy and perfectly chunky wool number. Emblazoned with 'Kitten' across the front, we think it'll make a fine addition to any kitten's winter rotation. 

And though we really want to keep it, what better way to celebrate a one-of-a-kind than with a giveaway? Along with our custom WATG x Catbird sweater, one lucky winner will also receive a set of three stacking rings from our house collection: a Mignon Memory ring, Threadbare, and Lovecat. 

Enter here for your chance to win. Good luck, kittens!

• deborah lippmann modern love because it matches everything, and i need everything to match
• egg white face soap is the best $5.00's you'll ever spend!
• quick cabin getaways with my honey
• things that are all white everywhere

Things I love – Correy

We start celebrating holidays early here around here in case no one has noticed.  Thanksgiving happened in our minds the week after Halloween and Christmas was over by the first week in December.  So naturally it's time to start celebrating the day of St. Valentine.

So we got to talking about Valentine's Day and the idea of love and the different kinds of love.  Great love stories, famous lovers, what it's like to be in love, degrees of love, loving someone or something, and to be in love with an idea.

Since we are so lucky to work with a group of eclectic, passionate ladies (and one gentleman!) we had everyone gather a list of things that they love.  And now we will share them with you, one by one.
It's full of wonderful people, places, ideas, and (some catbird) things we love in this world.

If you follow our various social media outlets, you will know Correy from her daily instagram posts, tweets, and facebook status updates.  She wears many hats around here but most of you will recognize her keeping us in good conversations on the interweb.  She loves wearing oversized sweaters, clogs, and lipstick.  And she looooves dogs!  I could go on and on.  Here are a few more things that Correy loves (in her own words).

• My schnoodle Russel Ronald. I enjoy spending lazy Sundays with Russ and Grace. 
• My gorgeous Mama & Grandma Law
• Building stacks (particularly ones that include rings by Catbird, Bittersweets, and Satomi)
• Taking Rosewater Baths with Bath Salts 'cuz I'm real fancy. 
• Online shopping
• Ear Cuffs paired with a high pony tail that I don't have.
• My Rachel Comey oxblood clogs
• Red Manicure paired with a Red Lip – sometimes the perfect pink will do.
• Michigan because, well, it's incredible.

Stay tuned for more love-ly-ness from the birds!

Signing onto our social media sites, let it be Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram or Pinterest my absolute favorite part is discovering how all of our friends are wearing and showing off our jewels.

We have updated our ever-expanding How We Wear It gallery filled up with gorgeous stacks created by our very own customers! We would love to see your stacks - email photos to correy@catbirdnyc.com.

How We Wear It: Rachel

One of our newest kittens, Rachel, has quickly joined the ring stacking club. I first noticed her single teensy D Alphabet Ring, $56 in sterling silver, and I had to immediately ask what it stood for and she quickly replied, it's a secret! But really, she's as cute as they come and is adoringly rocking her boyfriends first initial (aww!). Rachel shows off her left hand above, which has a mixture of metals and texture, just the way we like it!!

On her ring finger she wears a separated stack of First Knuckle Rings in our Classic Hammered First Knuckle Ring, $64, and a Twisted Stacker, $64. She is wearing a Dark and Stormy Ring, $122, on her center finger and is wearing a Classic Hammered First Knuckle Ring, $38 in size 5 and above in sterling silver, with a Twisted Stacker, $74 in size 5 and above, a Threadbare, $44, on the top of her stack and on the first knuckle of her index finger!

Needless to say, our newest kitten's lil' paws fit in puuurfectly. xx coco.

How We Wear It: Steph G!

There are a couple things that make me instantly like you - you have sparkly fingernails, you're a Detroit native, you can play an instrument just to name a few. Well, let me tell you Steph G not only has sparkly finger nails but she's got fancy ring stacks to match, she wears her Detroit gear very proudly AND she's in an all lady band!!!

Steph is the beautiful badass bass player you'll find on stage with the babe filled band, Desert Sharks (listen to them here).  She has to wear pieces that won't get in the way of her instrument but clearly that doesn't keep her away from shapes of all sizes - from triangles, to moons, to skulls, she wears each shape with such ease.

Left hand Index finger: Turquoise Baguette, $220. Center Finger: First Knuckle Ring in Yellow Gold, $64. Ring finger: Odette's Klaia Triangle Ring, $110, First Knuckle Ring in Yellow Gold on top, $64. Pinky Ring: Posey Skull Ring, available in store.

Right hand Pinky finger: First Knuckle Ring in Sterling Silver, $28. Ring finger: Braided Band in Sterling Silver, $33, stacked with a Dark Side of The Moon Ring, $122,  First Knuckle Ring in Rose Gold, $64. Center finger: The chain of her Finger Bracelet, $42,  loops around her finger. Index Finger: First Knuckle Ring in sterling silver, $38 in sizes above 5.

Anatomy of a Stack: Spooning

This stack is a bit peculiar and on first sight I would have never thought to layer these two rings together.  But I fell in love and couldn't stop obsessing over this duo.  

The crab claw wraps itself so perfectly around the triangle, it's like they're spooning.  It's just too cute. 

Klaia Triangle Ring, $110; Silver Crab Claw Ring, $100

Anatomy of a Stack: A Bird's Staple Stack

You can often spot some variation of this stack on any Catbird.  It is a staple of ours and somehow we all manage to find different ways to wear the same rings.  That's the beauty of it.  

Lucky for you all, most of them are on sale (but only until tomorrow!) so you can try too. 

1. Evil Eye Ring, $288;  2&3 Threadbare, $44;  4. Rose Gold First Knuckle Ring, from $64;
5. Gold Twisted Stacker, $64

Anatomy of a Stack: Nan's Necklaces

Coco and I nearly fought over this new lapis necklace.  That, as well as ALL the other new pieces from Nancy Kraskin.  She won and is seen here wearing Nan's new lapis necklace stacked with her staple teardrop.  They are just 1 inch different in length which creates the most ideal necklace stack. 

And they look awfully cute on freckly summer skin. 

1. Tiny Lapis Necklace, $286;  2. Teardrop Necklace, $298

How We Wear It: Tina

Tina is our California babe, you can always find her with a smile on her face and as you can see, her hands are basically smiling on the daily from all the treats she stacks on them. 

Lucky for Tina's hands, she inherited the beautiful opal flower from her mother and the gold flower from her aunt (wow-ee)!! She also wears a First Knuckle Ring, $64, on her ring finger with a Threadbare, $44, below. On her center finger she wears a Twisted Stacker, $64, on her top knuckle and two Tiny Chain Rings, $64, stacked with a First Knuckle Ring, $74 for sizes 5 and above.

Tina completes her hand's happiness with a teensy Threadbare, $44, as a thumb ring and a glittery Boom Boom Pow, $20, manicure.

How We Wear It: Meaghan.

Meaghan is really great at giving multiple Catbird designers love within her stacks.
