Cynthia: One of the best things about being a blogger is meeting new friends from all over the world. It’s awesome. It’s fun. It’s life affirming.
Marcy: Must you gush? Again?
Cynthia: Marcy. I must. Because my newblogger friend, Merrie, is that awesome.
Marcy: Okay. Fine. Go ahead.
Cynthia: Merrie’s blog is called Petite Career Girl. She blogs mostly about style (her outfits are always drool worthy and inspiring), sometimes about healthy eating, and every once in a while she does a story about… her cats!
Marcy: A human after your own heart.
Cynthia: Yup. Merrie is super stylish, fearlessly funny, and best of all, she loves her cats.

and Marcy’s answers to Merrie’s Liebster questions after the jump break.
Cynthia: So what do you think, Marcy?
Marcy: She’s so cool! Do you think she would let me be her kitty?
Cynthia: Merrie already has two cats. And besides, I am not sure she – or anyone else for that matter – would put up with your shenanigans and terrorist toe tendencies.
Marcy (eyes dilated): You mean those little mice that mock me endlessly?
Cynthia: Uh oh.
Cynthia takes off to find some shoes with Marcy in hot pursuit.
Cynthia and Marcy’s Liebster Award Q&A
1. What is your #1 fashion tip?
Cynthia: If
you constantly have to tug at it, pull it up, pull it down, whatever… Just
take it off and wear something else. You should feel great in what you are
wearing without having to think about it or drive you bonkers.

Marcy: If
you are a human you should wear clothes. You look really stupid without them.
If you are a cat you should bathe at least five times a day. Preferably after
eating Friskies.

I have to say…if I wasn't in wildflower cafe when I read this…I probably would've started crying…this is so sweet! It really made my day and was totally unexpected :). I really appreciate it and I love your's and Marcy's responses…style has truly never been so catty :). Thank you so much 🙂
Maybe this entitles me to a discreet hand shake if I ever meet Marcy, and a quick snuggle from P-kitty? Tell Marcy I promise to keep things very reserved and professional and won't make any cutsey noises. 🙂
Yay! I am so glad you like it! Woo Hoo!
You can snuggle with Penelope all day! She loooves belly rubs. Marcy will "let" you give her a face massage I'm sure. She is actually a secret sweetheart!

i heard that. don't mess with my rep, cindy. well, unless it's merrie. she's super awesome
meow,marcy
I love this post! Congratulations on the Liebster!
I have enjoyed meeting Merrie, as well. I love me a cat. Although, Murphy would snub me for a week for admitting that. He doesn't know we call him "cat-dog" behind his back! Seriously, you should see him jump and saunter on the back of the couch.
Thank you for the sweet mention. I really appreciate that! : ). You are one of my favorite blogs, too. I love your wit and your style. You have made Marcy so real to me this last year. I always look forward to her commentary!
I loved your fashion tips. And you know what? I am going through my closet this week in a giant purge and I will be deciding whether to keep things based on your "pulling/tugging" theory. It is so true. Great advice!
I loved this post! I liked how Marcy answered, too!
Jenni
Ahhhhhh… thank you so much, Jenni!!! xoxo
I can't believe Murphy is a "cat-dog"! Too funny! Better not let him EVER hear you say that.
xo,cynthia
Love Merrie's outfits! And super love Marcy's answers to the Q&A, she needs to to a Reddit AMA!
I know! Isn't she so creative with her styling? Love her blog! I will check out the Reddit thing. Thank you!
xo,cynthia
Woohoo! Hey Marcy, I'm featured in your blog! Now you have to be nice to me, right?
no.
meow, marcy
Congratulations Cynthia and Marcy and Penelope! I enjoy reading question and answer interviews and Marcy was quite funny. Thank you for directing us to Merrie's blog. I love her clothes and I checked out the cat stories you pointed out. I enjoyed reading about the one cat who sneaks down to the neighbors and even made it inside their home one evening.
Thanks for sharing,
Stacey
Oh I love that story too! Although it did give me a little bit of a heart attack! Yes, Merrie is so stylish. So glad you like her stuff! I love our little blogging community we've got going here!
