Ready or not….Fall is here…at least in stores that is.
It is hard to even fathom black, sweaters, boots and scarves when it is 100+ degrees outside….welcome to the fashion world! I have always been somewhat of a buy now wear now type shopper (except at market)…but I used to always miss some of the most sought after pieces of the season by waiting until it gets cold here in TX.
Here are the must have items for every fashionistas wardrobe for Fall 2010…don’t miss out!
Leopard print was in just about every collection I saw at Fall market back in February. From textured furs to trendy accessories (and everything else in between), leopard is a must have for Fall. I ordered my fair share of leopard this season so you know where you can find it!
Remember, animal print can be flawlessly chic or turn you into a fashion disaster. Try limiting your ensemble to either one garment or a fab accessory to let out your inner animal! Pair a leopard blouse with a clean pair of denim or a neutral pant….or throw on a scarf to jazz up your look!
Coming soon….
The color of the season is army green!
Army green is not new this season, but it is still a must have for Fall! This color seems to have some serious staying power in the fashion world…we have been seeing it show up on runways for several years. A couple of good things about adding this neutral color to your wardrobe is 1) it goes with everything…black, brown, beige, and denim and 2) you can dress it up or down for the easy day to night look. Wear it by day with your favorite boots or gladiators and throw on your bronze metallic wedges for a night on the town. This color has been around for many seasons…if you don’t already have it, this Fall is the time to add it to your wardrobe.
Street Chic military looks…..
LEATHER…..available in just about all items of clothing. You will find leather pants, skirts, shorts, jackets, capes and vests. I mean EVERYTHING leather for Fall 2010! Of course everyone needs a staple leather jacket in their wardrobe. My favorites from this season are Mike & Chris and Poleci….Mike and Chris has arrived, but you will have to wait until October for Poleci…think buttery soft black leather with a touch of fur!
FURRRRRR…while I realize how controversial fur can be in todays world…I am not one that is opposed to the real thing; however I kept it clean for my Fall purchases and ordered the look for less! There was so much fur for Fall that it was hard to choose which pieces to buy. Here is my favorite that you will see here at MEADOW ! If you read my blog regularly…you already know this is my favorite….I think I have posted pictures of it two or three times since I found this treasure in their NY showroom!
Worn with a simple tee and jeans….PERFECT!
On to your SOULS…..Clogs are the must have shoe for the season. Pick a pair any pair and wear them with everything! Here are two of my favorites with the perfect look paired with each!
The DVF Octavia is a clog/wedge combo…which was also done by See by Chloe…another favorite!
Don’t forget to add these staples to you wardrobe and you are sure to be a diva!
1) Leopard 2) Army Green 3) Leather 4) FUR 5) CLOGS!

The Kurta: a simple traditional Indian tunic that has been transformed into modern beach and resort wear.
While I realize we don’t live at a resort or on the beach…most of you know that is where my heart is after living in paradise for 7 years! These tunics are perfect for our hot and humid TX climate…regardless whether or not you are near water! Wear them over a skinny pair of white jeans for summer and transition them to fall with a pair of JBRAND dark skinnies….or simply over your bathing suit at the pool!
Roberta Freymann is a New York based designer who has been coined “The Queen of the kurta.” 100% cotton voile, the kurta is the foundation of Roberta Freymanns line Roberta Roller Rabbit. The Kurta continues to be the most sought after piece in her entire collection.
In 2003, Roberta launched her world with two complementary yet distinct signature collections: Roberta Roller Rabbit and her namesake….(both can be found at MEADOW). Robertas designs offer a chic global style at an affordable price!
After selling out of our first summer shipment in a week we decided to place another order! It is now on the racks here at MEADOW and the prints are vibrant, fun and did I mention AFFORDABLE!
Below are a couple of prints as well as the one above that we have in stock…..we have several others so come by and see what everyone is talking about!
After visiting her showroom last February, I was entranced by the colorful prints, the jewelry, the home goods and all of the accessories. I couldn’t leave without ordering a few of these….
and…a couple of these!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Ella’s baby blanket in pink elephant print! My sister and I had baby girls 4 months apart and we love laying these soft blankets on the ground and letting them roll free (well…Ella isn’t quite rolling yet, but Lillian is)! If anyone is looking for the perfect little baby gift that any mother would love we would be happy to order one for you! They come in a variety of prints, are offered in every color…and are priced at $60.00!
Come by and get your Roberta Roller Rabbit today!

I am sorry for our lack of posts the past few months! Things have been more than eventful in my life and the blog got put on the back burner!
Bob (husband) and I had our first baby on June 7th!
June 7th, 2010 @ 7:13 PM
7 lbs 6 ounces - 19 1/2 inches
SHE IS PERFECT!
We have been busy feeding, burping, changing diapers, giggling, smiling, and loving every minute of being new parents to our baby girl! Never did either of us realize what a miracle a new life is until we met Ella. She is our world and sometimes it is hard to believe that she is ours! I won’t lie…the first few weeks were really tough….harder than I could have ever imagined….but we all survived!
She is truly my new best friend! She goes just about everywhere I go….the store, shopping, lunch, dinner…EVERYWHERE! Never in my life did I know how much fun motherhood would be. I feel like the luckiest mom alive!
HAPPY MONDAY!
