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
