CATS OR DOGS: A FASHION DILEMMA


The inspiration for this post comes from the feet of the talented designer Katie Hillier, who is the current guest of Vogue UK's Today I'm Wearing. My fashion heart is torn between the Marc by Marc Jacobs Shorty Velvet Flats she wore in today's outfit, and the Charlotte Olympia Kitty Slippers by Charlotte Dellal (another former muse of the Today I'm Wearing series), which have been on my shoe wish list forever. So at the classic universal question - cat or dog? - I would have easily answered neihter of the two; but when it comes to stylish shoes, can I say both of them and in all colours available?

  1. i'm totally a cat person but i think that in this case i'd go for dog. it's a lot louder but at first glance looks like a sneaker and made me do a double take.. the charlotte olympia ones are cute and a lot more subtle but everyone seems to have a pair..

  4. The eternal question... cats or dogs? In life I vote for neither, as they both aggravate my allergies, but when it comes it shoes, its another matter entirely! I will say, having previously been the owner of a pair of Marc Jacobs flats, that I found them very uncomfortable and almost impossible to break in, so my vote is for the Charlotte Olympia pair :)

  5. I'm a 100% dog person. But in the shoe case I must admit I'd opt for cat version;) They are just too pretty to pass by!
    Dear Caterina, thank you so much for your help and answers. I really appreciate it!
