I admit, I'm a cat person.  It's not that I don't love dogs too, but my family has always had cats so they're what I'm used to.  I love to incorporate my love of cats into my outfits, but there's a fine line between being a stylish cat lover and a crazy cat lady.  I think the pieces below will keep me in the stylish cat lover category...unless I try to combine several of these pieces together and become that crazy cat lady that I'm slightly fearful of becoming.

This American Apparel dress is cute but the print is a little much for me.

Illustrated Chiffon T-Shirt Dress in Cat Fancy, American Apparel, $56

I like this dress because it's not obvious from far away that it has cat print.  It's just a cute surprise when you look closer!

Angel Eye Mini Cat Print Dress, ASOS, $45.45

There's something irresistible about this shirt from ModCloth.  The  cat face itself is adorable but the bow increases its cuteness quotient!

Look at Me Meow Top, ModCloth, $52.99

I ordered this scarf from Etsy back in November.  I had wanted a cat print scarf for awhile but I finally stumbled across this one and loved it.  It's made of chiffon so it is light enough to wear year round.  There are other color combinations available for the same price.

My most favorite cat print is the one Miu Miu used in their Spring '10 collection. I wish I could buy everything in it!

It seems as though every famous celebrity has a clothing line today.  Although some of these lines are great and fashionable, others are lack luster.  Most of these celebrities with lines don't even have the greatest taste in fashion.  It just seems like fashion is turning into another area in which these celebrities can make their money off of their fans.  Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy most of the lines they come out with. However, I don't like the high price tags that come along with it for some. 

Here are some lines I enjoy, but wish were lower priced:

Although many don't necessarily like the Kardashians, I think they are great impacters on girls and fashionistas today.  They have an amazing sense of style and aren't afraid to wear things that people may question.  In addition to their Bebe line, it is rumored that they are producing a line for Sears.  As for Lindsay Lohan's line.. I know she is not exactly the poster child for stability or of role model status right now, but her style when she was at her prime was amazing.  She really wears whatever she feels is right for herself and rocks it her own way.  Lastly, Victoria Beckham didn't get her nickname "Posh" for nothing. This woman has incredible taste and is a true fashionista.

While there are great celebrity lines, there are also celebrity fragrances too.  We all know about Britney Spears' line, but their are other celebrities who are starting to create their own too.  For example, Lady GaGa, Khole Kardashian-Odom and husband Lamar Odom, Katy Perry, and Jersey Shores' Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola. I know most of you may be thinking.. Sammi "Sweetheart" really?? But let's face it, MTV has made people like Sammi famous for no reason, so why not get more money off of making perfume or clothing.

Celebrity Fashion lines can be fun to look at and purchase if reasonable, but do they have to dominate the market and gain more profits? If their lines were reasonably priced, I think it would make more people willing to buy and accepted into the market.

The world of fashion is exactly that: a world in its own right. It has a history, it has movers and shakers, and it has milestones that are worth noting. And yes, there is also the occasional tragedy. From the consumer’s end, the tragedy often comes as maxed credit cards, empty savings accounts, and a closet full of clothes which one might never even wear. After all, shopping can become addicting – and being a shopaholic is just as expensive as any other addiction.

Have you ever had shopper’s remorse? It’s the one thing every fashion-minded girl wants to avoid. And if you love fashion, you have probably come up with several ways to make sure you never buy something which just might bring you regret the moment you get home. Rules like “never buy on impulse” or “come back for it the next day, just to be sure” probably replay over and over in your mind as you try on a gorgeous jacket that makes your look but breaks the bank. But for shopaholics, this impulse to buy is uncontrollable.

How serious is this addiction? Many people scoff at shopaholics, unaware that even this seemingly harmless addiction causes a lot of misery for families all around the world. A shopaholic may dip into the entire family’s savings just to get her shopping fix. Many husbands have left their wives simply because their addiction has gotten out of hand.

An addiction to shopping, destroying families? Yes, it happens. After all, being a shopaholic puts quite a strain on the wallet. Many fashion-minded women assume that they are shopaholics simply because they love shopping, but this is not an accurate assumption. Any addiction is defined as a compulsion to do something, resulting in an impairment in functioning. You may love shopping and seem to spend all your money on clothes, but as long as you manage to pay the bills and never get in trouble, then you don’t qualify as a shopaholic.

However, if you find yourself stealing your dad’s credit card just so you can purchase that fur coat you saw at Lanvin, consider yourself in trouble. Never assume that it is a problem you have to handle on your own. Fashion has its tragedies, but it is also full of success stories. Besides, there are other ways to revamp your wardrobe without breaking the bank. You can start by looking for discounted items and crazy-cheap finds here at Smashion, yes?
