About

Twin Cat is all about the appreciation of new and pre-loved clothes. Particularly those of a quirky nature. We’d like to say the genius idea of making our store came after an alcohol-fuelled night at 4am in the morning on the couch watching a spider eat a nacho. Because that would be so much cooler. Unfortunately it came about because we realised we were starting to dress the same and kept boring other people with our conversations about fashion. We kept trying to convince our friend to get a haircut like Morrissey, but he refused, and the store was born. We’ll show him.

some sunday sights

So here at Twin Cat we’re always harping on about how we’re inspired as much by street fashion as we are by designers. I think it’s fantastic that street photography has taken off around the world as much as it has (due of course to the Internet) and it means that it’s so easy to see some of the most stylish people without even leaving home!

For your Sunday viewing pleasure, here is a small collection of some of my (Sam’s) favourite snaps as of late.

(Alexa Chung always looks fantastic - always love her take on festival style!)

(And of course, my future wifey Ladyhawke, always rockin the leather and flannel!)

Here are my top picks for what you need to have this winter!
(And when I say ‘need’, what I really mean is ‘lust for’… or if you are entitled to KRudd’s stimulus package, well… maybe you do need them afterall..)

  • Pale wash denim (pref ripped and studded - keep an eye out in the Twin Cat store for some really fantastic customised denimwear)
  • Leather! Whether it’s a fitted jacket, a hoodie, a high-waisted skirt, an amazing statement bag or even gloves, leather is where it’s at and will rockn’roll any outfit! We have a super great leather backpack with studding landing instore very soon!
  • Ankle boots - I personally love a hidden platform but any ankle boots will do! You can find fantastic cheapies in department stores like K-Mart or Target if you don’t want to spend big. It’s great to see that HEELS ARE IN! They make you taller, look leaner, but you don’t need to get too carried away like uh.. Posh Spice.
  • An Across the Body bag - Perfect for gigs, shopping, anything that requires you to be hands free.
  • Blazer - Loving the Balmain-inspired military looks or just the more simple Tuxedo-style blazers. These look fan-friggin-tastic with skinny jeans and can dress up an outfit instantly!
  • Hat - We adore out hats at Twin Cat, really can’t get enough of them! Wear them day, night, to bed, anywhere! Feathers, netting, felt, wool, even paper.. okay, maybe not paper…
  • Bows - this is the easiest way to change your outfit up. Just grab a cool scarf, turn it into a big bow and pin it on wherever you want - on the collar looks great, as does in the hair and on the back of skirts.
  • Silver hardware - I’ve always favoured this look! Silver hardware on jewellery, bags, accessories and shoes looks great!
  • Opaque tights - Sab made a post the other day about her fave hosiery and if there is one thing you need, it’s at least one pair of decent quality opaque tights! It means you can instantly take a dress you wear in summer and turn it into a winter outfit by adding tights and closed or peeptoe shoes. Extend that summer wardrobe!
  • Buns - not of the rear-end variety but the hair! Love a good shaggy main of toussled locks but for the bad hair days just pull it back high up on your head and twist it into a bun! Love a bun!

There are of course a zillion other things I could mention (we are afterall completely obsessed with fashion) but I’ll keep it short.

Happy Sunday kittens!
Love TC xo
