Matching Your Dress To Your Teaware Part 22: If You Give a Dog a Tea Cookie

Happy Holidays Friends!

With the Christmas season in full swing I thought it would be the perfect time to showcase this Perfect Pairing featuring Scottie dogs!

I found this adorable novelty Scottie Dog teapot from the online UK based shop, Owl Barn Gifts. In addition to a page full of unique novelty teapots this shop is also chock full of other wonderful gifts and homeware including this teapot which is in stock here!

This unique teapot is in the wonderful shape of a lovable little scottie dog. The dog itself is decked out in red tartan from its cute bow around its neck to the ceramic tartan ribbon that makes up the handle on the lid of the teapot and the handle of the teapot itself. This would be the perfect little teapot to showcase in front of a fire on Christmas morning... even all the better if showcased surrounded by Scottish shortbread cookies!

And if this teapot couldn't get any cuter... how cute is this teapot when paired with the Heart of Haute Ella top in Scottie Dogs!?

The Heart of Haute Ella top is a sleeveless cotton button down top featuring a classically cute necktie which gives it a vintage feel. The all over tiny scottie dogs in red and white are perfect against a black with white pin dots background. While adorable in itself, when paired with this lovely Scottie Dog teapot it is cuteness overloaded!

All the tartan on the Scottie Dog teapot reminds me of last year's Christmas time Perfect Pairing of Bernie Dexter's Lori Pin Up dress in Red Tartan Plaid! It's a two for one Perfect Pairing! Check out last year's Tartan plaid post here.

Heart of Haute Cats Go Atomic!

Just last week I gushed about the new Blue Kittens print at Heart of Haute

(You can see my review of their Aline skirt from my post, Cats Where It's At, here.)

Recently, Heart of Haute has been stocking some really amazing and fun novelty print items such as the super popular Peacock prints Peacock Royale and Midnight Peacock, which both feature metallic elements, as well as other prints which have metallic elements such as their Geisha Print, Gold Crane, Odyssey and Odyssey Blue, Sakura, and their all new Gold Fleur De Lis! As much as I am in love with all these super cool and amazing metallic prints what gets me really excited is their many adorably cute and fun cat prints such as their Blue Kittens, It's Raining Cats, and now their Atomic Cats!

I have been seriously waiting for the Atomic Cats to come out ever since I saw their sneak peek of this fabric in March on their Facebook page. When they finally released these kitties there was no hesitation adding them to my cart and checking out!

I picked up the Atomic Cats in their Ella top which is a blouse version counterpart of their Etta dress. The Ella top is a fitted sleeveless blouse with a high neckline which is topped with a bow neck tie. Like the Etta dress it is fitted at the top yet, while it has a front button closure, amazingly the buttons do not pucker! The Atomic Cats is a 100% cotton fabric which feels thick and sturdy. I'm confident this will stand up to many washes. The print features a light turquoisey background with 1950's style sexton-like cat characters on the front. These cool cats come in all colors and patterns. There are striped yellow and gray cats, zigzag orange and black cats, spotted gray and black cats, solid gray cats with green heads, and solid orange cats with striped tails. Also, throughout the fabric are multiple atomic stars in different colors and styles topping off the 1950's vibe to this print!

The fit is amazing and the style, print, and quality do not disappoint! My usual size large fit like a dream on my 39"-31"-38" frame.
 
Loved this top so much I decided to wear it out for the day so this post is not only a Dress Review post but also an Outfit of the Day!


With so many amazing prints this year I'm seriously having a hard time picking and choosing which prints to bring home! Hopefully, I'll be able to add even more of these amazing Heart of Haute pieces to my collection before they sell out!
