Update 31st August 2015 – sadly, this store is closing soon so please refer to their website for more info!

After discovering the world of retro inspired clothing over the last few months, I was keen to find places in Melbourne where I could indulge in a dress, some shoes…

So imagine my delight when I came across Faster Pussycat on one of our favourite shopping streets – Gertrude St in Fitzroy!

Usually I wouldn’t have even looked twice at such a store, let alone go in…I would have assumed that there would be nothing that would fit me, let alone suit my style…whatever that was!

But now I know better…retro styled fashion is perfect for my hourglass figure…joy!

I was on the lookout for some items to add to my wardrobe, so I dragged my very patient husband straight in the door!

Faster Pussycat

Faster Pussycat was established in 1996, and imports the best brands from the UK, the US, Europe & Mexico, plus also supporting smaller local Australian & New Zealand designers!

Lois looked after us beautifully….she assisted in finding a cardigan that suited me, and hunted down my size in some rather fabulous heels…

Then my eye fell on the most divine coat…complete with a faux leopard detachable collar…can you see it…

Coat

I definitely don’t need another coat, but I am afraid I had to have this one the moment I tried it on…OMG…

Here is a pict of me wearing it on the weekend…

Wearing Coat

Now I have to wait for our balmy Autumn weather to end so it is cold enough to wear it!

Faster Pussycat is located at 120 Gertrude St, Fitzroy…there is also a store in Sydney!
