The store is chock-full of tees and accessories for makeup lovers and feline fanatics, also known as “my people.”

Check it out.

P.S. This is one of many new products coming to the store over the next few months. Stay tuned!

Dear Tabby…

April 4th, 2018 by Karen 25 Comments

Sometimes when Trader Joe’s is out of THE ONE THING I’m craving (I’m talking about you, Lightly Salted Frozen Edamame!), and the baby has been screaming and kicking doors for hours, and I’m feeling anxious because it’s 4 p.m. and I haven’t accomplished anything on my to-do list, and the tears are welling up in my eyes, but I don’t want to cry because I haven’t taken pictures of my eye makeup yet, and I’m spitting curses at my computer, even though I’m the one who accidentally clicked the little red dot thingy that closed Chrome, Tabs will hop up on my desk and head butt my face.

Just like that, I can breathe again…

Like a tabby doctor who knows exactly what his patient needs, he kicks his purr machine into high gear. I take a deep breath, then another, and bury my face in his fur. It’s like he’s telepathically telling me that everything’s gonna be alright. It’s OK, girl. Dr. Tabs will make it better. ?

The Dear Tabby Tee, $29 at connorclaire.com

This tee reminds me of Tabs, and if any cat could appreciate a feline who wears pink polka-dot glasses, he could. ❤️

New Spring 2018 Items for Cat Ladies and Makeup Lovers on connorclaire.com

March 15th, 2018 by Karen 18 Comments

When I’m not at my tabby’s beck and call, I do other things…like baking (or trying to), watching The Voice, or Humans 2.0, or The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, or designing tees for connorclaire.com.

Yes, I have an online store.

I KNOW! It has been a tad neglected for a while, but I just launched some new products I’m really excited about. Purr-usual, most are for my fellow cat ladies and makeup lovers.

There are some new clothes and accessories, too! I’m currently living in The Makeup Nerd Sweatshirt (New 2018 Version). It’s cute, cozy, soft, and the purple accent just happens to be on trend this year (purple is also my favorite color). Plus, it’s black and goes with everything (bonus: also conceals most colors of cat fur pretty well).

I’m also loving the new Lipstick Hearts iPhone Case, and I think you would, too. I used real lipsticks to draw the hearts, and you can actually see the texture of the waxy bullets in the print…which I think is kinda cool.

Connor, by the way, insists on wearing the Future Crazy Cat Lady ensemble every chance she gets.

To answer what may or may not be the question that just popped into your head, no, it isn’t available (yet) in sizes for adults. 🙂

future crazy cat lady toddler two piece set — The kitty was her idea, I swear.

More products are coming soon for spring/summer 2018, and I’ll announce them through the connorclaire.com newsletter, which I hope you’re signed up for.

Thank you for being so supportive over the years. This particular endeavor has been a labor of love, and I plan to finally devote more time to designing and creating new products that I hope you’ll like as much as I do. 🙂

Anyway, go check out the new stuff!

ConnorClaire.com Product Spotlight: Coffee First Tee

November 10th, 2016 by Karen 18 Comments

This is me pretty much every morning. I wake up feeling more or less like a zombie. Then I have that first cup of coffee, and it’s like, WHOO-HOO! WOW!!!

And that’s with decaf, girl. Just imagine how I am with real coffee, LOL!

What kind of coffee do you like, and when do you like to have it? First thing in the morning when you get up, or do you like to wait until you get to the office? Or do you stop on the way at your favorite Starbucks or Peet’s or, hey, if you’re here in SF, your favorite Blue Bottle?

I like my coffee first thing because, let’s get real, I wake up a grouchy, grumpy goat.

I also like my coffee mild (my favorite is Kona), so not too bitter, and I drown it in 2% milk with just a teaspoon of sugar.

If you don’t come to life in the morning until you have your first cup, the Coffee First Tee is for you.

I instinctively reach for it now when I’m particularly crabby. Then I just quietly point to it if El Hub starts talking to me. I won’t say anything either. I just point to the cat on the front… It works though! 🙂

The fabric is a soft poly/cotton/rayon blend, and the oatmeal color goes with everything — dark blue jeans, light blue jeans, stretchy pants, leather pants…not that I have a pair of leather pants, but I bet it would go with them, too.
