We’ve always thought we
were pretty creative types, and then we came across cool cat Caitlin and
quickly realized she’s the epitome of the word. Miss Bant’s that chick that’s
always thinking outside the box, a box is never really a box in her mind. She’s
the gal that walks into a room and brings her own vibe/swag whether she’s
rocking the hell out of pastel pink, blue or orange hair, she brings it.
She can slay the hell out
of a basic tee, whether its teamed up with a pair of pom pom earrings, a pastel
lippy or simply a pair of high top kicks, this chick is 2 stepping to the beat
of her own drum. But basic she is not, her style is effortless and exudes cool, its considered and
minimalist. We’re sure her cat Chook Chook would proudly agree that his momma is
the best dressed on the block.
Versace perhaps had Caitlin
in mind when he said “Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are,
what you want to express by the way you dress and the way you live”.
Name: Caitlin
Age: 29
Sign: Gemini
Occupation: In-house creative and
photography producer for Bonds and Berlei
My friends would describe me as… A crazy
cat lady
Three words you would use to describe
your wardrobe? Comfortable, monochrome, considered
What is the most treasured item in your
wardrobe? My Esther Pernbandt bag. I lusted over "The Shopper" for 12
months and was lucky enough to buy the last one in Berlin in March last year
from the lady herself.
My style philosophy…Fashion doesn't have
to be contrived and you certainly don't have to suffer for your art.
What are your favorite shopping
destinations: Anything Uniqlo or Muji!
The fashion moment you'd rather forget?
My uni days of wearing red Scotch tracksuit pants with Ralph Lauren polos -
with the collar popped, of course!!
Physical Vs. Online shopping? Online. I
tend to indulge in "showrooming" quite frequently.
Rich biiish or bargain hunter? I tend to wait for things to go on sale.
If I can hold out for an item until then, then I know it's something I really
want and getting cheaper just makes it all that more sweeter.
You wake up in the morning and think
what would... wear, who is your style-inspiration? I've given this question a
lot of thought and there isn't one particular person I would label my style
icon. I like to follow a lot of different people on Instagram and take
inspiration from their daily posts.
If you could have any superpower what would it be and
why? I would like to be able to see into the future. I'm quite a control freak and
am the youngest sister in my family, so knowing things before everyone else
would be great
My guilty pleasure is… Putting on my
Trigger trackies as soon as I come home. Mum wouldn't buy me a pair of Triggers
until I stopped growing (which was at 16), so these trackies are 13 years old
and they're pure comfort for me.
When I grow up I wanna...: Be proud of
the way I lived my life; was I kind/brave/loved?
Item I couldn't live without… I couldn't
go a day without my Nike Roshe.
Your current fashion obsession? My Nike
Benassi slides and wearing them with white cotton socks
The tune that's on repeat on your iPod?
I hate to say it, but..."Bound 2" by Kanye
Website you can’t live without? ohsheglows.com. Anything from this website
is a winner.
App addiction: Instagram. An oldie, but
a goodie
My style is... All about comfortable
shoes
