A cat lady needs her cat shoes.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Many women reserve a special place in their\u00a0hearts for shoes.\u00a0After all, we learned through Cinderella that the right pair of shoes can change our lives. Then, we grew up and met Carrie Bradshaw and her Manolos (who remembers that\u00a0episode<\/a>\u00a0when Carrie finds out she spent $40,000 on shoes? We can\u2019t blame her, can we?).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Science tells us that shopping increases the dopamine levels in our brains,\u00a0which produces a feel-good high experience, just like the effect of a drug. This effect starts to disappear and change into guilt after we pay… But this is not the case with shoes (… Or toys for your cat<\/a>). We tend to think shoes are a good purchase because we can wear them multiple times and they can upgrade any outfit, so the pleasure stays longer. And, since a pair of shoes\u00a0can make\u00a0many of us women\u00a0feel so happy, imagine us cat ladies finding cat shoes! It\u2019s supreme\u00a0purrfection!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

So, today I decided to share with you a part of my personal shoe collection – that part that screams to the world I\u2019m a proud cat lady – as an excuse to talk about some brands you can\u2019t miss if you want cat-themed shoes.<\/p>\n

Josefinas: The Portuguese brand that loves cats too.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I’ll start with Josefinas, a Portuguese brand I love so much! It began with Josefinas’ shoe designer, Filipa Julio, who\u00a0dreamed of producing handmade ballerina flats. Soon enough, her dream came true and Josefinas grew into a beautiful reality.<\/p>\n

The Josefinas brand loves cats and created two pairs dedicated to them:\u00a0Cheshire Cat<\/a>, the ballet flats that even\u00a0Meghan Markle<\/a>\u00a0couldn\u2019t resist, and\u00a0Hazel Cat<\/a>, the fluffy sneakers in pastel shades. In fact, the designers at Josefinas love cats so much, they even allowed little felines to visit their flagship store in New York.\u00a0Samson<\/a>, the biggest cat in town, was one of the\u00a0visitors<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cat lady shoe collection staple: Charlotte Olympia.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When we talk about cat shoes, we have to talk about Charlotte Olympia, the shoe designer who loves Hollywood glamour,\u00a0pin-ups, and created- dare I say- the most famous cat shoes in history! Her\u00a0kitty flats<\/a>\u00a0have become a signature of the brand and an iconic piece every woman needs, cat lady or not!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then, there\u2019s Miu Miu. <\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Miu Miu\u00a0Spring 2014 collection<\/a>\u00a0is one of my all-time favorites! In fact,\u00a0my first pair of Miu Miu shoes<\/a>\u00a0from that collection remain an important hallmark of my cat-inspired wardrobe.<\/p>\n

When this Miu Miu collection first debuted on the runway, I saw a magical cat print everywhere- from wool coats to patent leather boots- and fell in love. Just before the collection was about to reach retail stores, I found\u00a0this<\/a>\u00a0amazing editorial in Vogue, and there they were: the mary janes of my dreams! I knew immediately that we were meant to be together.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let’s not forget Karl Lagerfeld…<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Last, but not least, is\u00a0a pair<\/a>\u00a0from a collaboration between Karl Lagerfeld and the Brazilian brand, Melissa. They feature Lagerfeld’s adorable Choupette, whom I told you everything about\u00a0in my previous\u00a0post<\/a>.<\/p>\n
