{Rudy the bengal}

My brother and his girlfriend recently bought a bengal kitten, and it totally and completely made my week. If you caught my snapchat on Saturday, wherein I had a four thousand second long story filled to the brim with kitten cuteness, I’m sorry (but I’m also totally not). The kitten obsessed is real, and I just hope I adore my future nieces and nephews half as much as I adore this fluffy ball of love (#crazycatlady). Other than kitten snuggles, it was business as usual around these parts. Birthday celebrations for a friend, finally shooting Project: Dream Client, and spending an embarrassing amount of time furiously pre-shopping the black Friday deals and steals (some of my favourites sales are listed below!) As always, here’s a peek at the rest of my week, in photos.
