This Wednesday is not only our annual Fiesta Frocks party at Meadow, but we are also having a trunk show & guest appearance from Ex Voto jewelry designer, Elizabeth Adams! Ex Voto is truly one of a kind jewelry that any woman would want to add to her collection. Elizabeth finds unique antique and vintage lockets, pocket watches, pendants, keys and crosses and brings them back to life.
Ex Voto is definitely something I am excited about adding to my jewelry box! I am currently obsessing over the long pocket watches….and know I will find more to obsess over when I see what Elizabeth brings to the show!
Ex Voto fun fact…..Ex Voto was included in the Golden Globe goodie baskets this past year! Here are a few pics of some of the necklaces that went out to the lucky stars and how they were packaged! I wonder who is wearing what???
Please stop by tomorrow from 3-7 and welcome Elizabeth to San Antonio!
Remember….10% of all sales will benefit Respite Care of SA!
See you tomorrow!
We all love watching the glitz and the glamour walking the red carpet, but no red carpet is better than the red carpet at the Oscars! Here are my top red carpet picks from the 2011 Academy Awards!
Gwyneth was glistening from head to toe…she really looked chic in her metallic Calvin Klein gown with her Louis Vuitton jewels and I must admit I would love to hang this Calvin Klein beauty in my closet!
Natalie was radiant in her violet Rodarte dress with Swarovski crystal beading, Jimmy Choo high heels and Tiffany & Co jewels. She really is glowing! I wish I had looked like this 
Last but certainly not least, Michelle Williams, bedazzled me in her white Chanel Haute Couture gown with Harry Winston jewelry. She looked like a real movie star!!!
Who was your fav???
It was LOVE at first sight the day that this INCREDIBLY talented new designer, Sheridan French, sent me her first lookbook. Spring 2011 is her debut season and I am honored and so excited to be one of the first stores to carry her line. Let me just tell you…this girlie is going to make it big! Sheridan prospected stores across the country that she wanted to see her first collection in and MEADOW was lucky enough to be one of them! She put together the most beautiful lookbook I have ever seen from a young designer…really any designer….
take a look here…

When this baby was delivered by our trusty mailman I was blown away by EVERY detail….(yes, I am still talking about a lookbook). First let me just say that most mailers and lookbooks from designers and showrooms hardly get noticed….because we get SOOOO many. This beauty was a page turner…in fact I could hardly put it down! Needless to say…the next thing I did was pick up the phone and call to get more info! I had just finished working on orders from New York market and was really overbought for Spring…of course I managed to figure out a way to make room for these lovelies and I am so glad I did! Sheridan French is by far my favorite new line for Spring 2011!
Meet Sheridan…
An incredibly talented mother of two from Ft Worth, Texas who followed her dreams in starting her own label. Isn’t she adorable?
Read more of her bio here.
Read her blog, “The Southern Eclectic,” here.
Sheridan’s collection is vibrant, chic, classic, and versatile. Her eye for textiles is impeccable and she has a true knack for design. Here are a couple of the pieces that have arrived and/or will be coming soon!
We have several other tunics that I don’t have photographed that will be here in the next couple of weeks! It is incredible the amount of local buzz she has gotten just from the Meadow girls chatting her up to our customers! I seriously had a waiting list to call when the first shipment arrived! If you see something you LOVE or have any inquiries about the line please don’t hesitate to call, e-mail us or post a comment!

What I would give to have these beautiful Cherry Blossom trees lining our streets….GORGEOUS!!!
While cherry blossoms may not be in full bloom quite yet….it is definitely beginning to look a lot like spring inside the store! Being in retail I must admit I really do love the change of fashion seasons…even though they come months ahead of any kind of real seasonal change. By the time Christmas comes and goes I am beyond done with fall clothing and ready to see happy colors and fun prints hanging on the racks and walking in and out of our dressing rooms. In fact today was a great day to put my boots in the closet and break out my flops…my pale feet may not have thought the same…but I didn’t care…it was time to let these babies get some fresh air. It was in the 70′s here in San Antonio today and tomorrow the high is 78! Kind of ridiculous for January, but I am not complaining. I have market trips to fill my need for freezing cold and possibly snowy weather.
The end of January is an uplifting time at MEADOW! Our big sale has come to an end and we have brightened up our floor with vivid colors, tons of prints, shorts and dresses.
Tibi, Rebecca Taylor, Tucker, & 12th Street…..just to name a few!
Here is a sneak peak at some of the treasures we have been trying on lately……
I LOVE THIS LOOK! Everything about it….the 12th Street Sunburst caftan…oh so chic, the layered jewels, the wavy beach hair… This dress can take you so many places. A night out with the girls, a fun date with your hubby or boyfriend, or dress it up with a fabulous pair of evening shoes…(I dream of LOUBOU’s), take of the long chain necklaces, tie your hair up in a pretty chignon… and wear it to a wedding. Who wouldn’t want something this versatile in their closet?
There is sooooo much more to come. As you have heard me say before….Spring 2011 fashion is so very me & I get excited every time a new box arrives. Come see what we have in store for Spring!
We are hosting a trunk show with jewelry designer Kathy Bracewell tomorrow at the store and could not be more excited! Kathy is the designer of Agate Ranch + Marfa. Her jewelry line consists of unique and rare Marfa agate stones and she incorporates one of a kind vintage milagros’, rosary seed beads, lava, mother of pearl & turquoise into each piece. She recently sent us a box of her necklaces and we immediately fell in love! They are different than many agate necklaces I have seen. She has left the natural beauty in the stones and each piece makes a bold statement!
Here’s a sneak peek….
Come by the store tomorrow to see her full collection of one of kind pieces! Kathy will be making an appearance between 4-7 pm! Come have a glass of wine, meet the designer, try on some rocks and get in the holiday spirit!
Hope to see you soon!

) The week would have been horrible if I hadn’t been able to come home to this adorable little face every night! She had the best time…she tried on sunglasses and hats at Barney’s, had dinner at Nello on Madison Avenue, got her picture taken with the gaurd at FAO Schwartz, strolled in central park and was truly perfect….even on the plane! Oh the life of a 3 1/2 month old!

Back to business…..Let me just say that Spring 2011 looks AWESOME! I haven’t been this excited about an upcoming season for as long as I can remember. 70′s colors and prints were everywhere…oh….and hold onto your military green because it doesn’t appear as though it is going anywhere anytime soon!
Here’s a peak at a couple of our designers runway shows from Fashion week!
Rebecca Taylor Spring 2011 Runway
Alice and Olivia Spring 2011
Does anyone else love the look of the 70′s as much as I do….?
I mean….Boho Chic….please come and stay a while…a long while! I know Boho has been gracing us with its presence for a while now, but this upcoming spring it will be here in full swing! Every designer I carry at the store (and all of the new ones I will be getting in for spring!!!!) were 70′s inspired to some degree…whether it was in the solid color palettes they chose or their retro prints….it was everywhere. The 70′s look can definitely make some look as if they stepped right out of the Brady Bunch, but there is another approach that can make one look like a Boho diva with effortless chic & classic style. I feel like I touch on this subject all the time, but I can’t stress enough how I think everyone should try to achieve this look and their lives will become just that…effortlessly chic! Add a little boho to your wardrobe this spring and you will be pleasantly surprised!
P.S. I think I felt the first breath of Fall outside this morning…it inspired me to rock my boots to the store today…eventhough the high ended up being 82 degrees!
Happy Monday….night!
