Jet Set with Gypsy!

Sunday, June 20th, 2010

Not traveling to an exotic country this summer? Neither am I, but I know how to fake it! Just in here at Meadow, eclectic jewelry by Gypsy will make you look like you stepped straight out of a Turkish bazaar. Why pay airfare when you can find global treasures right here at Meadow?

Unique and whimsical, each piece from the line is handcrafted using jewelry making techniques from the age of the Ottoman Empire. My personal favorite is the line’s oversized filigree cuff. Made out of brass that is plated with oxidized gold, this statement piece looks like it could have come from the jewel box of an Indian princess. A clasp studded with turquoise and coral completes this beautiful piece.

And why stop at your wrists? Gypsy’s gorgeous chandelier earrings are dripping with enough turquoise, coral, and pearl to make a Sultan jealous. They are must haves for all stylish globetrotters (and pretend globetrotters)!

 So while you’re wasting away in front of the A.C. this summer, put on a unique piece by Gypsy, burn some incense, and pretend that you’re far, far away.

Fasten your seatbelts and jet over to Meadow for exotic accessories by Gypsy!

See you soon!!!

We’re Lovin’ TUCKER for SUMMER!!

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010
 

Easy, breezy, lightweight, and colorful- what’s not to love about Tucker’s fabulous summer blouses and camisoles? We (and many of our Tucker fans out there) get so excited every time a box from Tucker arrives at Meadow, and Susanna and I are obsessed with the latest shipment! Perfect paired back with white jeans or shorts, these tops are essentials for every one’s warm weather wardrobe. 

"The Blouse" in Summer Sorbet

Try the line’s classic blouse in fun summery prints.  Prints from this delivery are vibrant, classic, and true statement pieces that you will wear over and over again!  “Summer Sorbet” mixes the perfect shade of yellow and pinky peach, “Green Great Lawn” features an irresistible floral print that really pops.

 And last but not least, Tucker’s camisole in “Day in Provence”,  is the perfect option for our 100 degree summers….

  Tucker flys out the door soon after it hits the racks here at Meadow- be sure to stop by Meadow and pick out your favorite top.  We will be happy to help you pair your new blouse back with shorts, jeans, and/or jewelry. You’ll start your summer out in style with any of these vivid prints! Hope to see you soon!

Waddy’s World!

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

After working at Meadow for the past few months, it has been hard not to notice a trend in the flattering comments customers make about the store. Of course, they always begin with how much they love the merchandise. Then their compliments move to the store’s bright, open space.  And last but not least, they notice our fabulous print by local artist Waddy Armstrong.  Since this blog has given our clothing plenty of attention, I thought that I’d give fashion a break and discuss our big, beautiful Waddy masterpiece!

Our own Waddy Print! We love it!

Our own Waddy Print! We love it!

Situated between two vibrant clothing racks, the print perfectly echoes the hues found throughout the store. Dark blue branches and an explosion of vivid leaves are silhouetted against a stark white backdrop. The contrast between negative space and bold color makes the print really pop! It reminds me a lot of Meadow: modern lines and white walls contrast with a variety of colorful fabrics.

Many of Waddy’s pieces are full of color, but I find his monochromatic prints and paintings equally striking. One of my particular favorites is an untitled painting featuring the delicate white outline of leafy branch offset by a slate grey background. It makes me think of a negative photo. The organic subject matter is mirrored across the painting’s central axis to create a really interesting effect. I would love to own this one! In fact, I think that I’d like to own all of Waddy’s amazing pieces. Each one is just as beautiful as the next.

One of my all time favorites... so cool!

Be sure to stop by Meadow to check out our cutting edge art and clothing! To see more of Waddy’s work, visit his website at www.waddyarmstrong.com. Send inquiries about any of the pieces you like to waddyarmstrong@earthlink.net.

New York, New York!

Friday, February 26th, 2010

 

With Fashion Week behind us and having been to Coterie (The NY market that is held twice a year in the city)…. I must say that I LOVE NY!  My husband and I just returned from a buying trip to NY…..don’t worry I didn’t drag him around the market or showroom appointments with me!  Not only did I get to see what’s to come for Fall 2010, but I managed to have enough down time to enjoy the city with my husband.  There was a time in my life where the thought of being a New Yorker sounded exciting and glamourous (how many of you have felt like that at some point?), however I must say that at this stage in life it is perfect to visit every few months.  Our biggest challenge while we were there was deciding on restaurants!  We did manage to come across some fabulous finds for both fashion and dining.  Usually I have always dined at the staples that my family has been to since I was a little girl….this time we branched out.  We stayed downtown in Soho at a great hotel and walked around as if a pregnant girls feet don’t swell!  Here are a few places I would highly recommend if you ever make it to the city.

1.  PIPA

Pipa

This restaurant is part of ABC Carpet and Home….and it is incredible for both Lunch and Dinner.  We only had time to eat lunch here…it was so good we went back for seconds on Day 2!

2.  Market Table

WEST VILLAGE

This quaint little restaurant is nestled on a corner in West Village.  The atmosphere, the food and the staff were perfect.  We will definitely go back! 

 

 

Ok…back to fashion!  Here is a little preview from Rebecca Taylor for Fall 2010…….

fall 4fall 3

I love the texture, fur and animal prints!  I have never really been that big of an animal print person, but after seeing what’s to come for Fall, I have become a huge fan!  Not to worry…none of this is too heavy for Texas weather!  We will keep posting photos from Fall…so stay tuned! 

See you soon!
