Viola H. aka Killer Colours

OMG!  So remember a few weeks ago when I did a post about one of my fav makeup bloggers and did a look inspired by one of her looks?  (click here to check it out)  Well, without even knowing it, she returned the favor by featuring Style By Cat on her Facebook and blog.  She's, like, my top makeup inspiration idol!  It is such an amazing feeling when someone you admire thinks that you're doing a good job.  Waaaaaaaaaaaah!  I feel so grateful.

Viola is undeniably beautiful, both inside and out, and is uber-talented.  This girl can seriously rock ANY look.

I'm just so floored by how thoughtful and nice she is.  In an environment where most popular bloggers are all about self-promotion, I can't believe she took the time to mention a humble little blog like mine.  She did more for Style By Cat than I thinks she knows.  Overnight, my Facebook and Bloglovin subscribers more than tripled.  Style By Cat nearly doubled in the number of followers, pushing us to over 100 subscribers now.  You know what that means!  GIVEAWAY #2.  I'll post the details tomorrow after announcing the winner for the current giveaway. <----- if you haven't entered the giveaway yet, today's the last day!

Yeah, yeah, yeah...I know 100 isn't that big a number compared to bloggers with 10K+ subscribers, but to me, it's a really big achievement and makes me happy.

Thanks to everyone that's given this little blog a chance.  I know we're not big, fancy, and glittery over here in my tiny corner of the blogosphere, but it means a lot to me. *sniff*

BIG HUGS!
Cat :D

  2. Congratulations Cat! You deserve it! I totally understand the feeling though, I feel the SAME when you reply to my comments! I even tell my boyfriend about it... LOL! I'm like: "Omg! I can't believe she took the time to reply!!! I feel so special now!!!"

    And Viola really looks BEAUTIFUL! I love how's she wearing that classy 50's look. I'm way too tanned and would never be able to achieve that look. :/

    Btw, I love looking at your Halloween picture! You look so hot in your costume! xoxo.

  4. @Pearl: Thank you! I tend to not take style and makeup too seriously. It's more fun that way, don't you agree? :D

  5. @Jennifer: hey girlie, thanks for the congrats! I'm so humbled that you have such a high opinion of me. Honestly, I consider you all my friends. (I've actually missed your comments these past couple days, where have you been? lol) I mean, that's what friendship is, right? We're all here because we have a lot in common and enjoy the same interests. I'm no fashion or beauty guru, I'm just learning and discovering things like everyone else. My blog is like a conversation I'm having with my friends. I enjoy your input and opinions. I like to know what you think of this, this, and that. Please feel free to tell me when something works and when something doesn't! I'm sure none of you would let me leave the house looking like a fool, right? :D

    Anyways, yes, Viola is pure awesomeness! She's, like, a freakin' supermodel. She actually looks similar to one of the winners from America's Next Top Model, Yoanna House, except she's even prettier!

    I'm glad you like my Halloween costume! I love it too! I've gotten to wear it two days in a row already, haha!

  7. I actually came here through her blog, and I agree that she's quite amazing!

    I hate to say, I've been reading back on your blog too and I love that you seem like such a genuine and goodhearted person. Blogs are usually indeed about self-promotion and I often get the feeling a lot of bloggers are a little arrogant because of all the attention they're getting, but not you. You seem like a really nice girl :)

  8. @lune: Hello and welcome to my blog! I'm so happy you found your way here! :D Your words are very heartwarming and I'm constantly thankful for the kindness and support that my readers show me. My favorite book in the world is Le Petit Prince by Antoine Saint Exupery, have you read it? There are wise words that I always turn to if I ever feel like I'm overwhelmed by materialism and need a reminder to come back to the right path. :)

  11. @Martina: Hi! Thanks for the compliments, I'm so happy that you're interested in continuing to read. :D I remember when I first started my blog, I had, like, less than 10 people and most of them were friends and family who felt obligated. Lol.
