Hollywood Mirror’s Rolling Death Necklace

image source catslikeus.com

What can I say, it’s a hearse necklace, how cool is that!? I admit I’m a little bias towards this piece as I purchased it for myself. I did change the chain as I wanted the pendant for a DIY project and it came out excellent. At a $10 price tag you could be sporting this piece of funeral goodness around you pretty lil’ neck. The pendant is a good size at 2.5 inches and can go with just about anything in that black vortex of a closet of yours.

The Rolling Death Necklace is available online at www.catslikeus.com.

Dolly Valentine’s Lynette Love Birds Dress

image source catslikeus.com

The Lynette Love Birds Dress is the second exclusive release by Dolly Valentine for Cats Like Us. This darling dress features cute little love birds with pink hearts on a black background, a modified sweet heart neck line, and a darling pink bow at the bust. The black elastic belt is removable, but if worn it gives a nice emphasis to your waist line and really flatters the overall design of the dress. You can pair this dress with a little shrug on those cooler date nights or dress it down with a cute pair of flip-flops for a shopping trip to the grocery store. I really love Dolly Valentine’s designs because she really understands modern women who love vintage-inspired designs!  I’m looking forward to more Cats Like Us exclusive dresses by Dolly Valentine.

The Lynette Love Birds Dress is available at www.catslikeus.com.
