Suitcase Full, Heart Full at Meadow Boutique

August 29, 2025 Shelley Hall

After months of endless sunshine and ocean views in Mazatlán, as I told you I landed back in Seattle — and my first stop, naturally, was Meadow Boutique. There’s just something about walking through those doors again, surrounded by the cozy textures, layered looks, and curated pieces that remind me why I fell in love with fashion in the first place.

Seattle always inspires me. While Mazatlán fills my days with vibrant colors, salty air, and casual sandals, Meadow offers a different kind of magic — effortless style with that perfect balance of chic and cozy. The boutique feels like coming home, and this visit was no exception.

Family, Fashion & Fall Layers

This trip was especially meaningful as I expressed in the last blog. Seattle greeted me with open arms — and a heatwave I didn’t quite expect! Even in the warmth, though, my time here has been unforgettable. Between catching up with family, celebrating my daughter’s birthday, and spending time at Meadow, this trip has been a beautiful reminder of how special these moments are. My suitcase may be full, but my heart is even fuller — carrying home memories, laughter, and just a little more Meadow magic to brighten my days back in Mazatlán.

At Meadow, the racks were brimming with pieces that feel like Seattle in the fall — soft ribbed long-sleeve tops, striped pullovers, versatile sweaters, and textures you just want to live in. It’s the kind of collection that makes you want to mix, match, and layer without overthinking it. My suitcase may be full, but somehow, there’s always room for “just one more Meadow find.”

Why Meadow Still Feels Different

Shopping at Meadow isn’t just about the clothes; it’s the whole experience. From Shelley’s impeccable eye for timeless pieces to the boutique’s warm, welcoming vibe, there’s an energy here you can’t replicate online. It’s that personal touch — the styling tips, the laughter, the “this is so you” moments — that make every visit special.

I leave inspired every time, carrying not just beautiful clothes but the feeling of being connected to a place that celebrates individuality, confidence, and a little bit of fun with fashion.

Come See What’s New

If you haven’t stopped by Meadow lately, this is your sign. There’s something fresh and exciting waiting for you — whether it’s the perfect sweater for layering, a chic dress for date night, or that one accessory you didn’t know you needed until you saw it.

Every time I return to Meadow, it feels like coming home. It’s more than just a boutique — it’s a place where memories are woven into the fabric of every visit, where familiar faces greet you with warmth, and where style feels personal, effortless, and uniquely yours. My suitcase may be full, but my heart is even fuller — with laughter, love, and a little extra Meadow magic to take back with me. xoxoxo

From Mazatlan to Meadow - A Seattle Visit

August 22, 2025 Shelley Hall

Hello, Meadow friends!

I’m trading palm trees and ocean breezes for evergreens and city lights — I’ll be visiting Seattle on Friday, August 20th til September 1st, and you know I can’t resist stopping by Meadow Boutique! It will always at the top of my list when I come back to visit. It’s always such a treat to reconnect with the place where I had such fun on my fashion journey and soak up the effortless style that Meadow does so well.

I’ll also have the joy of spending time with my family — my grown kids and my sweet grandson! It’s my daughter’s birthday while I’m there, so we’ll be celebrating in true Seattle style. And let’s be honest, after the sweltering Mazatlán heat, that perfect Seattle weather is going to feel like an absolute gift!

Living in Mazatlán has given me endless sunshine and vibrant colors, but there’s something about Seattle’s chic, layered looks that always inspires me. I fully expect to leave with a suitcase just a little fuller than when I arrived. Cozy knits, easy layers, and effortless style — it’s a whole different vibe, and I love slipping back into it whenever I visit.

There’s something special about walking into Meadow again — it’s like stepping into a cozy little time capsule of style and memories. I spent four years working here, helping customers find pieces they loved and writing the blog each week. Even now, from my home in Mazatlán, I still get to share Meadow’s newest finds with you. But being there, in person, surrounded by Shelley’s latest picks… that’s a whole different kind of joy.

So what’s new this week at Meadow Boutique? Meadow is preparing for the season ahead with great sweaters and knit tops!

STACCATO is in this week, bringing cozy-chic vibes with soft ribbed long-sleeve tops, classic striped pullovers, and sweaters you’ll want to live in. Effortless layering pieces that feel just as good as they look.

THE WORKSHOP STUDIO is also here with a fresh selection of sweaters — from timeless crewnecks to flattering v-necks — perfect for dressing up or down. Whether you’re pairing them with denim, skirts, or tailored pants, these pieces will become your new go-to favorites.

If you’re in the neighborhood, I’d love for you to stop by Meadow while I’m there on Friday, August 22! So, consider this your official invitation — come by Meadow, say hi, and let’s play dress-up together! Whether you’re hunting for that perfect Summer dress or just want to catch up and swap a few stories, I’ll be there soaking up every bit of Seattle style I’ve been missing. Maybe you will find that one perfect piece you didn’t know you needed until you tried it on. Trust me… you’ll want to see what Shelley’s brought in this week. I know I do! I will be waiting for you Chicas! xoxoxox

Hot Days - Cool Looks

August 15, 2025 Shelley Hall

If August had a motto, it would be: “I’ll be hot if I want to.” And yet, here we are — determined to look fabulous while Mother Nature cranked up the thermostat to lava mode. How did you make it through that little heat wave here in Seattle? The secret? Outfitting yourself in styles that whisper breezy confidence instead of screaming I’ve melted into my patio chair. It’s crazy how Seattle always seems to gift us just one measly week of super-hot weather, as if the city is trying on Summer for size, gets uncomfortable, and promptly swaps it out for a cardigan and a drizzle.

It’s time to think about flowy fabrics that catch the smallest Summer breeze, silhouettes that let your skin breathe, and colors that play nice with the sunshine. It’s not just about beating the heat; it’s about owning it with style so effortless, it could pass for that mythical air conditioning the lucky few keep bragging about.

We’re talking sundresses that give you that “I just stepped off a coastal boardwalk” vibe, lightweight tops that float instead of cling, and skirts that swish with every step like they’re auditioning for their own beach commercial. The kind of pieces that keep you comfortable whether you’re brunching, market-hopping, or sipping something chilled on the patio while pretending to answer emails.

Accessories? Minimal but mighty. Think lightweight earrings that won’t stick to your neck, sunglasses that make you feel like a celebrity in disguise, and maybe a woven bag that says, “Yes, I can fit my sunscreen, a good book, and a mystery snack in here.”

August in Seattle isn’t going anywhere without a little drama — sudden downpours, heatwaves, that one cousin who insists on a backyard BBQ at high noon — but with the right looks, you can stay cool through it all. Because style isn’t just about the clothes you wear… it’s about how you feel in them. And nothing feels better than breezy, beautiful, and totally unbothered looks from Meadow Boutique!

But don’t forget, because Seattle’s about to do its thing—those warm summer afternoons will start slipping into crisp mornings and cool, drizzly evenings before you can finish your iced latte. But no worries, Meadow Boutique has you covered—literally. We’ve got the softest, coziest layered pullovers that’ll keep you warm without making you feel like you’re wearing a sleeping bag. Perfect for tossing over your favorite tee or layering under a jacket when the rain inevitably shows up. Stylish, comfy, and ready for whatever mood Seattle’s sky decides to be in that day.

What’s new this week at Meadow Boutique?

ZENANA has arrived with the kind of cozy pullovers and breezy gauze tops that make you want to curl up with a latte—or stroll the farmers market looking like you woke up chic. THE WORKSHOP is serving up a tailored-meets-casual vibe with its sleek button-down vest and a perfectly fitted bodysuit that’s just begging to be layered. ACTIVE USA? Oh, they’ve brought us the dreamiest cozy cotton long-sleeve—soft enough to live in, stylish enough to be “accidentally” spotted in by your ex.

And please, do not overlook our treasure trove of fun extras—think fabulous bags, statement earrings, candles that smell like vacation, bracelets you’ll stack and never take off, and scrunchies that might just make your messy bun look intentional. Basically, we’ve got all the little gift-worthy goodies you didn’t know you needed… until now.

Next week, I’m heading to Seattle, and you can bet one of my first stops will be Meadow. There’s something about walking through those doors — the familiar hum of conversation with Shelley, the racks brimming with fresh finds, and that perfect mix of style and comfort that feels like a hug from an old friend. I’ll only be hanging out there for the day, but that’s more than enough time to catch up, soak in the inspiration, and maybe find a little something to bring back home to Mazatlan. After all, no trip to Seattle is complete without a Meadow moment.

So, here’s to the last steamy stretch of Summer — and looking cooler than the ice in your lemonade. Whether you’re chasing sunsets, sipping something frosty on a patio, or darting from one patch of shade to the next like it’s a competitive sport, remember — Summer style from Meadow Boutique is all about keeping your cool while the world heats up. So grab those breezy favorites, throw on your shades, and strut through these sizzling days like you personally ordered the sunshine. And just like that, the days will flip in a heartbeat, and you’ll find yourself reaching for something a little warmer. And here we are…….ready & waiting! xoxoxoxo

Endless Summer Style

August 8, 2025 Shelley Hall

Isn’t it funny how August in Seattle feels like a last hoorah and a soft beginning all at once? The sunsets are golden, the air still warm, but there's a quiet shift—the kind that whispers, not quite Fall, but not quite high Summer either.

And that’s exactly the sweet spot we’re dressing for this week at Meadow.

For me, late summer was always been my favorite time to lean into effortless style in Seattle. Not the kind that screams for attention—but the kind that turns heads anyway. I’m talking about those flowy, no-fuss dresses you throw on without a second thought. That easy tank you’ve worn three times this week and will absolutely wear again tomorrow. That slightly oversized, open-knit sweaters that somehow makes you feel like the main character in your own indie film—walking along Alki Beach, iced coffee in hand, deciding whether or not to call him back. (Spoiler: you won’t.)

Right now, Meadow is stocked with those exact pieces. Lightweight layers made for cool mornings. Sleeveless dresses and relaxed tops you can wear barefoot in the grass or dressed up for dinner in the city. Pants that make a statement without trying too hard. Pieces that breathe, move, and stretch out the feeling of Summer just a little longer.

It’s a time of year that invites reflection—on what the season gave us, what we’re holding onto, and what we’re quietly ready to let go of. That might sound deep for a fashion post, but you know me. I can’t help but find the poetry in it all.

What’s new at Meadow Boutique this week?

This week, MICA brings in high-waisted pants that are chef’s kiss flattering and some seriously cute high-rise joggers that might just become your new go-tos. You’ve been warned.

Our beloved DREAMERS sweater is back (yes, again!). At this point, you probably own it in every color—but surprise! They’ve managed to tempt us with even more shades you never knew you needed until… now.

ACTIVE USA is stealing the spotlight this week with a jacket that somehow pulls off trendy and timeless. Pair it with their cotton long sleeve tops and you’re basically dressed for any Seattle evening that goes from sun to drizzle in 30 seconds flat.

And don’t sleep on THE WORKSHOP’s must-have cardigan—it’s one of those “throw-it-in-your-bag-just-in-case” pieces that ends up saving the day every time. Lightweight, versatile, and the perfect finishing touch

And speaking of personal things… I’ll be back in Seattle this August, and yes—shopping at Meadow will be high on my list. So, if you’ve got your eye on something, I’d recommend beating me to it. We all know how enthusiastic I get in the dressing room. (If you hear someone in the back laughing, with a pile of clothes and a running commentary on which tops deserve applause—it’s me. Come say hi.)

Summer may technically be winding down, but our style? She’s just getting warmed up. Let’s celebrate the season’s lingering moments together—with outfits that make us feel beautiful, free, and exactly like ourselves. That’s the kind of sunshine you’ll find at Meadow Boutique—easy, breezy, and waiting just for you. But don’t wait too long… you know how fast the good stuff disappears! Sending love to all of you, and I can’t wait to see your fabulous faces when I’m back in town. xoxoxo

August & Effortless

August 1, 2025 Shelley Hall

August has entered the chat—and she’s giving barely-there effort with maximum impact.

It’s that sweet spot of Summer when the days stretch long, the heat gets cheeky, and you start to wonder if it’s acceptable to wear the same breezy outfit four days in a row. (Spoiler: It is, especially if no one catches you at the same café twice.)

Here at Meadow, we’re channeling coastal calm with a side of “I just threw this on.” Light fabrics, floaty silhouettes, and pieces that make you feel like the best version of your unbothered self. Think bare shoulders, sun-warmed skin, and the kind of effortless polish that whispers I totally planned this… even if I got dressed in under three minutes.

This is the month for:

Morning walks with iced coffee and oversized sunnies.
Lounging on patios that somehow always have the perfect amount of shade.
Throwing on something slinky and soft for impromptu dinners where the dress code is “whatever makes you feel like the main character.”
Packing an overnight bag because August says yes to last-minute beach escapes and spontaneous road trips.

No complicated layering. No overthinking. Just ease. The kind that lets your clothes move with you instead of bossing you around. It’s the season of wardrobe grace—where wrinkles are forgiven, tan lines are accessories, and anything too stiff or structured gets ghosted.

So go ahead, lean into it.

What’s new this week at Meadow Boutique:

This week at Meadow, we’re unpacking some serious style.

NOSTALGIA is giving us all the vintage-inspired feels with soft, romantic tops and flowy skirts that are perfect for those late-summer days when you want to look sweet and pulled together. Think timeless silhouettes with a modern twist—easy to wear, hard to forget.

PERCEPTION is having a floral moment, and we’re here for it. Their latest collection features bold blooms and playful prints on flattering cuts—perfect for brunch, a stroll through the farmers market, or just because you deserve to feel fabulous.

IVY RIDGE is bringing the unexpected with tops that mix structure and softness in all the right ways. A little edgy, a little elegant—just how we like it.

And PARALLEL SKIES is speaking to our inner cool-girl with interesting textures, relaxed fits, and pieces that make us want to throw on some sunnies and pretend we’re in a music video.

Let’s just say the new arrivals are worth a try-on—or five.
You might need a bigger closet.

Be the woman who walks in with that August glow—the one who looks like she’s just come from somewhere beautiful and is heading somewhere even better. The one whose style says: “This old thing?” even though we all know it’s exactly the thing.

And just a heads-up—I’ll be popping into the boutique this month, and I can already feel a shopping spree brewing. If you’ve got your eye on something, you might want to beat me to it. Consider yourself warned.

Here’s to an August that’s effortless, elegant, and entirely yours. xoxo

Sun Kissed & Stylish

July 25, 2025 Shelley Hall

Summer isn’t just a season—it’s a mood. A glowy, golden-hour, iced-latte-in-hand kind of mood. And around here, we believe your wardrobe should rise to the occasion. Whether you’re hopping from brunch to beach, heading out for a rooftop dinner, or simply strolling the neighborhood feeling fabulous for no particular reason (as you should), Meadow has you covered in pieces that whisper effortless but shout style.

Trust us: this week’s collection is full of low-effort, high-impact pieces that bring the sunshine and the style.

And let’s talk color. Think soft neutrals kissed by the sun, vibrant corals that catch the eye, and those dreamy summer blues that look like they were plucked right out of the sky. Not to mention textures—cotton, tencel, and breathable blends that let your skin breathe, your confidence shine, and your inner cool girl take the wheel.

What’s new at Meadow Boutique this week:

This week’s arrivals are giving main character energy—and we’re here for it. We’re talking light, airy, and unapologetically wearable pieces that let your style do the talking (while you stay cool as ever).

Float into summer in effortlessly elegant dresses from IN LOOM—the kind that sway with every breeze and earn you compliments from strangers. Slide into buttery-soft second-skin tees that feel like they were made just for you. And if lounging in style is your vibe (we fully support this), ACTIVE USA just delivered a lounge set—top and pants—that’s equal parts dramatic and dangerously comfortable. Like, "accidentally wear it out and still look amazing" kind of comfortable.

GILLI came through with a few knockout pieces that transform from “running errands” to “ready for rosé” with nothing more than a bold lip and a quick hair flip. And don’t even get us started on BLU PEPPER’s sleeveless sweater—it’s got buttons down the back and just the right amount of sass up front. We’re obsessed.

The shop’s fans are humming, the racks are full of goodness, and your next favorite outfit is patiently waiting for you to find it. Our Meadow staff is always here to help you pull together looks that feel like you—but maybe with just a little extra wink.

So come on in. Let the sunshine hit your shoulders, let the compliments roll in, and let us help you dress like the goddess you are—sunkissed and stylish from head to toe.

Oh, and fair warning—I’ll be breezing into Meadow this August, so consider this your stylish heads-up: get in before I do, or risk watching me sashay out with all the best pieces. You know how I shop… no rack is safe. 😘 xoxoxo

Hot Days. Cool Looks

July 18, 2025 Shelley Hall

Let’s face it—Summer has officially arrived and she’s making no effort to be subtle. The days are hotter in Seattle, the iced drinks are getting larger, and the only thing we want to do is wear something that feels like nothing at all while still looking like we’ve got it all together. Sound familiar?

This week at Meadow, we’re loving pieces in the Boutique that make it easy to look fabulous without breaking a sweat. Lightweight dresses that move with the breeze, wide-leg pants that feel like pajamas but say “I made an effort,” and easy tanks and tees that slide seamlessly from beach walk to happy hour. You can even layer up when the sun dips and the chill comes back—just enough to remind you it’s still the PNW.

Accessories are playful this season. Straw bags and barely-there sandals are all doing the heavy lifting, so you don’t have to. It’s the kind of style that says, “Yes, I just rolled out of the hammock, and yes, I still look good.”

Meanwhile, down south in Mazatlán where I live, things are heating up in more ways than one. Locals are swapping beach days for twilight strolls along the Malecón and popping into shady cafés to escape the afternoon sun. There’s a hum of creativity in the air, and storytelling is taking center stage.

I have really tapped in to my creative side. I knew I had one all along! With the help of many volunteers, on July 24, Mazatlán Monologues will bring true stories to life at El Recreo—a lineup of seven voices, each sharing a glimpse into their lives. No notes, no fluff, just real people and a mic. We’re having the best time here—it honestly feels like being a kid in a candy store. There are so many exciting opportunities to create something special, something the whole community can be part of. My only wish? That Meadow Boutique was just down the street, so I could swing by and grab the perfect outfit for every event we’ve got coming up!

We’re also hosting Friday night films at Mazatlán Film & Theater, giving movie lovers a cool, cozy place to escape the summer heat and soak up great stories. Add in the live music drifting through plazas and rooftop bars, and suddenly there’s no shortage of reasons to get dressed up—no matter how relaxed the dress code. Shelley, I’m starting to think we need a Meadow Boutique right here in Mazatlán… and I happen to know the perfect person to run it. Hint hint!

What’s new this week at Meadow Boutique:

Summer style just got a serious upgrade. We’re loving the flirty tanks and tops from BLU PEPPER, JOA, and THE WORKSHOP—each one perfect for those sun-drenched days and breezy nights. And don’t miss the effortlessly chic tank dress from BLU PEPPER—it’s equal parts easy and elegant, and yes, you need it. YMI is also bringing the heat with standout pants that are anything but basic—unique, flattering, and ready to turn heads. So what are you waiting for? Stop in and check out all the new arrivals.

Whether you’re chasing sunsets on the Washington coast or soaking up that golden-hour glow in Mexico, remember—Summer style should feel like a breeze. Come find your version of cool at Meadow, where the vibes are high, and the racks are ready to help you dress the best version of you.

The team is here to help you style every fabulous inch of that beautiful body of yours—and trust me, they’re so good at it. Oh, and just a heads-up… I’ll be visiting in August. So you’d better stop in before I do, or you might find the hangers a little empty. You know how I shop. Sorry, not sorry! xoxoxo

Your Seattle Summer Style Starts Now

July 11, 2025 Shelley Hall

Seattle Summer Starts July 5” — And Yes, That’s a Real Thing (Just Ask My Closet) Ask any Seattleite when summer starts and they won’t say June 21 — they’ll say, “July 5.” I remember standing outside in the rain with an umbrella barbecuing on July 4th with the hope that tomorrow, July 5, it would be Summer.

It’s not just local lore. It’s lived truth.

When I lived there, it was always the same. I'd optimistically plan a sun-drenched holiday outfit — something red, white, and breezy — and inevitably end up layering it under a raincoat, boots, and a backup hoodie just in case. (Spoiler: the “just in case” was always.) But come July 5, like a curtain lifting, Summer would finally arrive — and with it, a sudden, joyful shift in what we wore.

That’s when it all shifted. The layers came off. Out came the cotton, the maxi dresses, the straw bags we’d nearly given up on. Even the most practical wardrobes welcomed a splash of summer: a bright lip, a swingy sundress, that one pair of sunglasses we treated like heirlooms.

There’s something about Seattle summer — fleeting, fussy, and oh-so-satisfying — that sticks with you. It was hard-won. A reward for enduring the long, gray months with faith that sunshine would return, even if fashionably late.

Living in Seattle taught me to be ready — not just with a weather app and an umbrella, but with fashion that could pivot. Outfits had to survive a surprise drizzle and still shine under a rare ray of sun. It was like wardrobe boot camp with bonus views of Mount Rainier.

And now, even though I live in Mazatlán — where sunshine is much more reliable and summer shows up early and stays a while — I still think of July 5 as the real beginning. My internal fashion clock ticks to that rhythm.

So here’s to all my friends back in the PNW: you made it. After months of gray skies, drizzle that felt personal, and enough layers to outfit a small expedition, Summer has finally arrived — and you’ve earned every single ray of sunshine. It’s time to dig out the sandals from the back of the closet, shed the fleece (even if just temporarily), and show up in something that makes you feel as radiant as the long-awaited sun. Whether it's a breezy maxi dress, your favorite pair of cropped jeans, or that flowy top you’ve been saving for “when it gets nice out” — wear it. Own it. Strut it.

And yes, if you still tuck a hoodie in your tote or stash a backup jacket in the car — no judgment. That’s just smart Seattle living. Old habits die hard, especially the ones that kept us prepared through all those years of “sun breaks” and soggy forecasts. But now? This is your moment. Step into the light — literally and figuratively — and celebrate the season that always keeps you waiting, but never fails to dazzle when it finally shows up.

So what’s new this week at Meadow Boutique?

DOE & RAE brings the sunshine with their breezy summer dresses and a floral top so lovely, it practically picks itself. OG is turning heads with playful embroidered tees — the kind of conversation starters you’ll want to wear on repeat. And BLUE PEPPER is all about effortless charm with their striped chambray dress that screams summer chic. Everything in the boutique this week is speaking the language of Summer — and it's saying: easy, breezy, and ready for anything.

Wherever you are and however you’re soaking up the season — cloudy skies or endless sun — we’re sending you all the summer vibes. Enjoy every iced coffee, every patio sunset, and every moment that makes this season feel special. And if you're ever in the neighborhood or scrolling our way, stop by and say hello. We miss you, we appreciate you, and we can’t wait to see your beautiful faces again soon in the shop. Until then, stay cool, stay stylish, and soak up every bit of sunshine you can. xoxoxo

Festive Looks for the Fourth

July 4, 2025 Shelley Hall

Independence Day is here—and whether your plans include a casual cookout, beach bonfire, rooftop fireworks, or a small-town parade, one thing’s certain: the Fourth of July in Seattle is the ultimate excuse to dress up (or down!) in red, white, and blue. At Meadow, we’re all about helping you show off your patriotic spirit in a way that feels fresh, effortless, and totally you. Here are some fun, festive outfit ideas to make sure you’re firework-ready from sunrise to stars. Whether your pieces came from Meadow or you’re mixing in your tried-and-true wardrobe gems

The Easy Breezy Dress

If you’re aiming for cool, comfortable, and cute (and who isn’t in July?), nothing beats a summer dress. A flowy white sundress with lace or eyelet details is perfect for that all-American vibe—classic, breathable, and picnic-approved. Or go bold with a red floral midi or a chambray mini that nods to denim but keeps it lightweight. Throw on sandals or crisp white sneakers, add a crossbody bag and some retro sunnies, and you’re ready for everything from brunch to fireworks.

Denim & Details

Can you even celebrate the Fourth without denim? (We think not.) Try a pair of high-rise denim shorts paired with a knotted striped tee or a breezy tank in a bold red or cobalt blue. For a slightly dressier take, swap your shorts for a wide-leg cropped jean and add a tucked-in tee in white or a print. Finish the look with espadrilles or flat sandals and a cute tote (which we just got in last week). Effortless and oh-so-summer.

Star-Spangled Accessories

Don’t want to go full-on flag? No problem. Use your accessories to add festive flair without overcommitting. Think beaded red earrings, a scarf with tiny stars, a blue-and-white clutch, or a straw hat with a patriotic ribbon. Even a swipe of red lipstick or a bright blue mani can get you in the spirit.

From Day to Night Layers

Planning to celebrate all day long? Start with something light and layer up. A romper or tank dress can take you from morning mimosa to nighttime sparklers—just toss on a denim jacket or a cropped cardi when the evening breeze rolls in that adds just the right touch of drama.

Matching Sets & Jumpsuits

Coordinated sets are a fun, put-together option that still feel relaxed. Try a matching red tank and shorts combo, or a striped set in navy and white for a nautical, beachy vibe. Want something even easier? A jumpsuit is your one-and-done go-to for a backyard party. Add some statement earrings and you’re festive without looking like you tried too hard.

BBQ to Bonfire Chic

If your holiday plans include burgers, lawn games, and catching up with friends, comfort is key. Opt for joggers in a summer-weight fabric paired with a tank or graphic tee—bonus points for one with a cheeky Americana slogan. Or go with a casual t-shirt dress and throw your hair in a topknot. Add slides, a sling bag, and call it good.

The Not-So-Obvious Color Combo

Remember, red, white, and blue doesn’t have to mean literal stars and stripes. Mix tones and textures to keep it subtle and chic. Pair a deep navy blouse with an off-white pair of denim shorts or pants and a pop of coral. Or go tonal with soft blues and creams, layered with natural accessories. It’s festive without being on-the-nose.

Come See What’s New

Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or a hometown Seattle hangout, we’ve got plenty of new arrivals in-store to help you celebrate in style. From playful prints and flattering fits to accessories that sparkle, Meadow is your destination for summer’s best-dressed holiday. So let freedom ring—and let fashion shine. Stop by and let us help you create a Fourth of July look that’s as bright and bold as your plans. Peek our latest arrivals below and piece together your perfect Fourth of July ‘fit—because fireworks aren’t the only thing that should be poppin’ this holiday! xoxoxoxo

That would be our newest arrival: a beautiful collection of hand-poured candles from a small-batch brand we adore called Poured Goods.

Thoughtfully made with clean ingredients and wrapped in minimal, modern packaging, these candles are the kind you light not just for scent—but for atmosphere. Each candle from Poured Goods is an invitation to slow down, reset, and enjoy your space. Whether you lean toward fresh citrus notes, earthy woods, or soothing florals, there’s a scent in this line that will speak to you—and maybe even surprise you.

They also make incredible gifts. The kind of gift that says, “I thought you could use a little peace,” or “You deserve to feel cozy and cared for.” Pair one with a new bag from Rock Flower Paper, and you’ve got a gift combo that’s both practical and indulgent.

Say Hello To Summer

June 20, 2025 Shelley Hall

There’s nothing quite like the first true days of summer in Seattle. The air feels lighter, the sunsets linger a little longer, and your calendar starts filling up with everything from park picnics to patio dinners. It's the season of spontaneity—and your wardrobe should be ready to match that energy.

At Meadow, we’re welcoming summer with fashion that feels just right for these longer, warmer days. We’ve filled the shop with floaty dresses, breathable tanks, and easygoing tops in colors that reflect the season—think soft whites, vibrant corals, ocean blues, and garden greens. These are the pieces you’ll reach for again and again, whether you’re heading to a weekend brunch or just walking the dog in style.

This week, you’ll find effortless pieces that layer well but wear beautifully on their own. Lightweight button-downs, playful skirts, and flattering midi dresses that transition from errands to evening with just a change of shoes. We’ve also added a few cozy pieces for those breezy nights when the sun dips but the good conversation keeps going.

We somehow let Father’s Day sneak past us last week without a proper mention! So here’s a belated but heartfelt shoutout to all the wonderful dads, grandpas, and father figures out there. We hope your day was filled with love, good food, and a little peace and quiet (or chaos—whatever your style is!). To the fathers who show up, stand strong, and love fiercely—thank you. At Meadow, we see you, and we’re grateful for you.

What’s new this week at Meadow Boutique:

LOLA P is turning heads with a chic twist-front blouse—perfect for sunny days and summer nights. NOSTALGIA is all about effortless charm with a dreamy cross-front dress and a soft floral top you’ll want to wear on repeat. UMGEE delivers with the playful Zinnia dress and a pinstripe blouse that feels as easy as a Sunday morning. Add a flirty RUFFLE skirt and classic JBD denim shorts to the mix, and your summer wardrobe just got a major upgrade.

Come by and see for yourself—all the new pieces are here and waiting to be tried on. We can’t wait to show you what just arrived!

This is your sign to refresh, reset, and say hello to a new season with confidence. Let your summer wardrobe reflect how you want to feel—easy, light, and a little bit brighter. As always, thank you for supporting Meadow. Whether you're popping in for something new or just saying hi, you help make this space feel like more than just a store. We can’t wait to help you find something that makes you smile in the mirror. Thank you for continuing to support Meadow. Your love for this little boutique means the world to us. xoxoxoxo

Cooler Looks For Hotter Days

June 13, 2025 Shelley Hall

Summer is finally teasing its way into Seattle—longer evenings, warmer breezes, and the unmistakable urge to swap your layers for something lighter, cooler, and more carefree. At Meadow Boutique, we’ve curated the perfect pieces to keep you comfortable and chic as the temperatures climb.

This week, we’re leaning into effortless style: think breathable fabrics, flattering cuts, and pops of color that echo the season without screaming tourist on the waterfront. Our racks are filled with flowy midi dresses, soft cotton tanks, lightweight button-downs, and breezy skirts that make transitioning from morning markets to patio dinners a breeze.

While summer in Mazatlán brings golden sunsets, ocean breezes, and a rhythm that slows with the heat, I’m already looking forward to a change of pace—and wardrobe—in August when I head back to Seattle for a visit. I can’t wait to soak in the cooler air, see familiar faces, and of course, swing by Meadow to catch up on all the latest arrivals and hopefully see some of you! There’s something special about having one foot in the tropics and the other in the Pacific Northwest—it keeps both places feeling like home.

What’s new at Meadow Boutique this week?

This week at Meadow, it’s all about fresh finds and effortless summer style. We’re loving the 1250c collection—featuring a fabulous dress and a versatile tie-front top that goes with just about everything.

Slip into the soft, breathable NAKED ZEBRA Tencel tank, or go playful with LA SOUL’s mushroom print sweatshirts—always a conversation starter.

Of course, we’re stocked with our favorite woven bags from JEN & CO. and PRETTY SIMPLE, adding that perfect pop of color and texture to any outfit. Looking for the ultimate summer staple?

Layer Less. Live More

June 6, 2025 Shelley Hall

There’s something liberating about June. The long, light-filled days feel like permission to slow down, stretch out, and breathe a little deeper. And in the world of fashion, it’s the season to strip back the layers—both literal and metaphorical—and embrace a style that’s effortless, airy, and undeniably you.

At Meadow Boutique, we’re leaning into this mantra: Layer Less, Live More. This isn’t about abandoning style—it’s about rediscovering it through simplicity. Think easy, throw-on-and-go dresses that feel like sunshine. Flowy fabrics that move with the breeze. Strappy tanks and soft tees that don’t try too hard but somehow look like you spent all morning planning the outfit. These are the kinds of pieces we’re loving right now—because when you’re not fussing over layers, there’s more room to just live.

It’s that sweet spot in the season where you don’t need a jacket but might still reach for a linen wrap at sunset. Where your wardrobe can be light in both weight and spirit. At Meadow, we’ve curated styles that reflect the freedom of this time of year—pieces that let you move through your day with ease and still turn heads when you walk by.

What’s new at Meadow Boutique this week?

From breezy tanks to easygoing dresses and flirty skirts, this brand is delivering everything you need to stay stylish and cool as the temps rise.

To round it out, we’ve added BLU PEPPER’s chic, wearable shorts—perfect for pairing with a tucked-in tee or flowy blouse—and their lightweight linen button-down that you’ll find yourself reaching for again and again. It’s that magical combo of relaxed and polished that makes summer dressing so effortless.

And let’s not forget the latest from LES AMIS—a crisp white ribbed-edge tee that’s anything but basic. It’s the kind of staple that works with everything: tucked into denim, layered over a maxi skirt, or thrown on with those BLU PEPPER shorts for the perfect laid-back look.

These are the mix-and-match must-haves of the season, all waiting for you in-store now. So come by, slip into something breezy, and let yourself feel what it’s like to layer less and live more. There’s a certain kind of joy in finding that one piece that makes you feel instantly lighter—like your day just got easier, your mood a little brighter, your steps a little freer. Your summer wardrobe (and your soul) will thank you for choosing ease, beauty, and just the right amount of sunshine. We’re so grateful for you—our wonderful, loyal customers who make Meadow what it is. Here’s to the sunshine, the style, and all the moments ahead.

Sunny Days, Stylish Ways

May 16, 2025 Shelley Hall

There’s something about mid-May that feels like a promise: longer evenings, golden light lingering just a little later, and the sense that Summer is quietly waiting in the wings. At Meadow Boutique, we believe this is the perfect time to lean into those sunny vibes and let your wardrobe reflect all the warmth and ease this season brings.

Mid-May dressing is all about balance—finding those key pieces that work in both sunshine and shade. It’s the time of year when you might wear a breezy sundress with a denim jacket in the morning and shed the layer by lunch. A wide-leg pant in a breathable fabric, a crisp cotton blouse, or a tiered midi skirt can carry you through the day with comfort and confidence. These are the pieces that let you move, breathe, and feel beautiful no matter where the day takes you.

Whether you're planning a brunch with friends, strolling the neighborhood farmer’s market, or simply stepping out for a coffee, you want to feel just as effortless as the days themselves. That’s where this week’s new arrivals come in—flowy florals, easy one-and-done dresses, and soft layers that catch the breeze just right. We’re seeing our favorite brands delivering looks that are both dreamy and practical. Think flattering silhouettes in sun-washed colors, soft neutrals, and playful prints that capture the brightness of May without trying too hard.

The transition between Spring and Summer can feel like a bit of a fashion limbo, but it doesn't have to be. Here in Seattle, we know how to dress in layers—and we know how to keep things stylish while doing it. That’s why we’re loving those light cardigans you can toss in your tote, cropped denim jackets that pair with everything, and breathable fabrics that still feel elevated. It’s about finding those just-right pieces that make getting dressed a joy, not a chore.

If you’ve been feeling the itch for something new, something fresh, now’s your moment. Our racks are full of possibilities, and the store feels like sunshine. Come explore what’s new, see what catches your eye, and let yourself fall in love with something you didn’t even know you needed. That’s the Meadow magic.

As we move toward Memorial Day and the official kickoff to Summer, take a moment to treat yourself. Your sunny days deserve stylish ways—and we’re here to help you find them. So what’s new this week at Meadow Boutique. Well, instead of describing all the brands you can see everything below, just have a look and see how you can fit these pieces into your own wardrobe. Let me tell you, it will be pretty easy. If you need help, you know we are here to help….always! I love all the new pieces this week, see for yourself!

Meadow Moments For Mom

May 9, 2025 Shelley Hall

Mother’s Day is more than a calendar date—it’s a feeling. It’s the quiet strength, the whispered encouragement, the unconditional love that has shaped us into who we are today. Whether she’s a new mom, a grandmother, a mother figure, or someone who loves with that same selfless grace, this weekend is for her. Really everyday is for her, but this day we really honor what she means to us!

As a mom of three incredible adult children, I’ve come to treasure the journey of motherhood in all its seasons. From the early days of scraped knees and bedtime stories to the deep, soul-filling conversations we have now, being their mom is the greatest gift of my life. Watching them grow into kind, thoughtful, and beautifully unique individuals has been nothing short of extraordinary. No matter how grown they are, that bond—the one built on love, laughter, and a million little moments—only grows stronger with time. I’m endlessly grateful to be their mom.

At Meadow, we believe in honoring the women who show up day after day with style, heart, and resilience. And what better way to celebrate her than with something beautiful to wear—something that makes her feel seen, cherished, and radiant?

This week, our boutique is blooming with thoughtful pieces just in time for Mother’s Day—styles that move with ease and grace, just like Mom. Not sure what she’d love? We’re here to help you pick something that feels just right. Or bring her in for a little Meadow Moment of her own—a chance to try on, laugh, and maybe even find a new favorite outfit together. After all, time shared is the most precious gift of all.

This year, we’re inviting you to celebrate a collection of fashion and gifts curated with heart, comfort, and style in mind.

Blossom into May

May 2, 2025 Shelley Hall

There’s something magical about May. The flowers are in full bloom, the days stretch out with golden light, and there's a feeling in the air—like something new is just beginning. It’s the month where hope returns in color, where our calendars start to fill with plans, and where getting dressed starts to feel fun again. It’s the perfect time to shed the layers—both in fashion and in life—and welcome something lighter, brighter, and a little more joyful.

At Meadow, we’re leaning into the season with pieces that feel like a breath of fresh air. Think soft pastels, floral prints, airy fabrics, and silhouettes that move with you—not against you. Whether you’re heading out for a patio lunch, planning a getaway, or simply enjoying a sunny stroll, we’ve got something that will make you feel like you're blooming right along with the season.

Our racks are bursting with fabulous dresses that twirl, tops that drape just right, and accessories that give everything a playful polish. And yes, sandals are officially back—so treat those toes and give your Spring wardrobe the update it’s been waiting for.

Having lived in both Seattle and now Mexico, I can tell you firsthand—Summer style means something very different depending on where you are. In Seattle, May often still calls for layers: a cardigan over a dress, a denim jacket in the evenings, maybe even boots on a drizzly day. But in Mexico, especially along the coast, May feels like full-on summer. It’s hot, humid, and absolutely perfect for breezy dresses, sleeveless tops, and sandals that slip on and off with ease. Dresses are my go to attire and most of the dresses I bought at Meadow are perfect for the wether here. Wherever you're reading this from, Meadow has pieces that travel well and style even better—whether you’re dressing for sunshine now or layering up just a bit longer.

What’s new at Meadow Boutique this week?

If you're exploring floral dresses at Meadow, two standout brands we are featuring this week to consider are BLU PEPPER and AUGUST SKY. Both offer a delightful array of romantic, breezy styles perfect for Spring and Summer occasions. Based in Los Angeles, BLU PEPPER is celebrated for its vintage-inspired, boho-chic aesthetic. Their dresses often feature feminine details like smocking, tiered skirts, and floral prints, catering to a youthful and free-spirited vibe. AUGUST SKY offers a range of dresses that blend classic femininity with modern trends. Known for their smocked designs and floral prints, their dresses are both comfortable and stylish, making them a favorite for everyday wear and special occasions. Both BLU PEPPER and AUGUST SKY provide charming options for those seeking flowy floral dresses. Whether you're attending a garden party, a casual brunch, or simply enjoying a sunny day out, these brands offer styles that combine comfort with elegance.

Come blossom into May with us—surround yourself with color, comfort, and effortless style. Whether you’re chasing the sun or savoring Spring here at home, your next favorite outfit is already waiting at Meadow. Stop by the boutique this week—we’d love to help you find something that makes you feel as fresh and beautiful as the season itself. xoxoxoxo

The Year’s Moving Fast—So Should Your Style

April 25, 2025 Shelley Hall

Can you believe how quickly this year is flying by? One minute we’re making resolutions and the next we’re swapping sweaters for sundresses. The calendar is moving at warp speed, and honestly, we’re just trying to keep up—preferably in something fabulous.

At Meadow, we know that as the seasons change (and change again!), your style has to keep pace. That’s why our racks are always evolving, with new arrivals landing just in time for your next adventure, outing, or spontaneous coffee date.

This week, you’ll find pieces that are perfect for those in-between days—airy tops that layer beautifully, dresses that feel like sunshine, and accessories that instantly update your look. Because as the pages on the calendar keep flipping, your closet deserves a refresh, too.

So go ahead, lean into the quickening pace of the year. Try something bold, toss on a new color, mix it up. After all, why let the year race ahead without you? With Meadow by your side, your style will always be right on time.

And speaking of time flying—this past week, I celebrated my Birthday in Mazatlan, which just happens to fall on Earth Day. There’s something special about sharing a Birthday with the planet, a reminder to embrace every season (and every outfit!) as it comes. I’ve never had a problem dressing for the middle of the year—whether the weather can’t decide or the calendar’s on fast-forward, you’ll find me mixing Spring colors with a dash of Summer style. After all, why not celebrate both yourself and the Earth with a look that feels just right, right now?

I found myself digging through all the fabulous Meadow pieces I brought along with me to Mexico, searching for the perfect outfit to match the occasion. The day started with a playful celebration at Stone Island with friends, and as evening rolled in, I added a light layer and some fun jewelry for dinner with my husband. That’s the beauty of shopping at Meadow Boutique: wherever you are and whatever the celebration, you’ll always have just the right thing to wear.

See what’s new this week below, and let’s turn the page together—stylishly, of course.

This week we have a couple of pieces from GIGIO, a women's clothing brand focusing on contemporary and innovative styles, aiming to inspire fashion trends while offering quality and affordability. They offer a diverse range of products, including dresses, pants, and more, with a focus on bohemian and chic styles. TIMING, GILLI and BLU PEPPER are among the other pieces we have this week.

April Adventures: Looks That Move With You

April 11, 2025 Shelley Hall

There’s a certain kind of magic in Seattle during April. The city begins to soften. Cherry blossoms float down like confetti, café patios start to buzz with life again, and the mornings feel full of promise — even if they begin with rain. It’s a season of transition, of movement, and at Meadow Boutique, we have fashion that’s ready to go with you, wherever your April adventures may lead.

This time of year is all about pieces that layer with ease, soften the chill of a breeze, and still feel light enough for an afternoon of sun. Our new arrivals are designed for spontaneity — the kind that starts with errands in the morning and turns into an unexpected afternoon at the Ballard Farmers Market, followed by an early dinner on the patio with friends.

How about that trench coat you own , perfect for tossing over a dress or denim and tee without missing a beat. It moves with you — in the wind, in your day, in the rhythm of the city. Pair it with our favorite knit midi dress, a piece that hugs and flows in all the right places. It's ideal for the kind of day where comfort is just as important as style, and you want to feel good in your clothes from morning to night.

This Spring, we’re leaning into a color palette inspired by nature — soft greens, petal pinks, gentle creams — with textures that feel just as fresh. Floaty blouses with a subtle floral print. Wide-leg denim that gives structure without stiffness. And the sneakers you’ll wear all season long — built for long walks, impromptu detours, and never-ending to-do lists.

April in Seattle teaches us to be ready for anything. A shift in weather, a last-minute invitation, the joy of an unexpected plan. Your wardrobe should feel the same — unfussy, effortless, and ready to move. That’s what our fashion is about. Not just looking good, but feeling good, all day long.

What’s new at Meadow Boutique this week?

This week, we're especially excited about new arrivals from LOVE TREE and BE COOL — two of our favorite labels known for effortless style and flattering fits. From easy-to-layer tops to lightweight knits, these pieces are some of the best we’ve seen this season.
