Fleur Wood Swimmers have arrived!

If you love Fleur Wood's gorgeous, vintage inspired, feminine and elegant designs, then you'll LOVE her new swimwear range! We've just started small with 2 very beautiful pieces that are now at the top of our fave's list for summer. Sweet enough to nibble, here they are in all their stunning glory...

• Petit Four Bandeau Bikini in Lemon Meringue - yellow buttercup pretty vintage floral print truly makes this bikini stand out, as does the modern, sexy shape of the bandeau bikini top and tie-side bottoms (with good butt coverage :)
  

• Fluro Icing Onepiece - hmmm, reminds me of coconut ice... yum! Has a high-ish backline that lends itself to be worn both as swimmers and a bodysuit. Perfect and versatile, you can literally wear it swimming then add your favourite denim shorts or cute high-waisted skirt and go straight to the bar, shopping, lunch - whatever takes your fancy.
  

Also in need of an honourable mention, are these 2 new luscious dresses that take pool-side glamour to a whole new level!

•  Silver Lining Maxi - crochet at it's most divine, this maxi is the ultimate beach dress. Clearly cool enough for our super-hot summers, it has a beautiful silver thread weaved through, adding a luxe bohemian feel. Just gorgeous, throw it on over your swimmers for the ultimate in beachside glam.

• Icing on the Cake Maxi Dress - It really is good enough to eat in the sweetest pastel hues, it's vintage goddess and grecian glam in one. Highlighting the one-shouldered trend to perfection, this dress is elegant, sophisticated yet flirty and fun. How often do you find all of those fabulous qualities in one dress?!
  

Well, what do you think? Do you love these sublime new arrivals as much as we do?! We hope so - they're available now at www.ciaomeow.com.au, so get shopping!

Brights are back baby!

Brights are a fabulous style statement for the party season and coming from a gal who loves her LBD's, this is a huge admission! I can't help it though, brights have won me over this season and it's easy to see why... they're loud, they're proud and they're here to stay! Here are a few of my fave's...

• Tali Roth - Silk Sweetheart Dress. Feminine, flirty and gorgeous - get ready to flutter your eyelashes!

• Shona Joy - Side Frill Lace Dress. I love this - the lace is gorgeous and the beautiful frill detail around the shoulders is just stunning! One of my FAVE'S!!!
  

 

• Bless'ed are the Meek Jenny Frill Skirt - This is for those who prefer a skirt and top combo. Gorgeous blue, almost bordering on purple, it's a stunning colour. Very versatile - wear it with a sexy slinky cami for night time glam and a simple singlet for day time chic. Great if you need to go from work to party.

 

•   Shona Joy Flamingo Lakes Cocktail Dress - also our pick of the week this week! This dress is for fashion-forward gals who love to stand out. A bustier style top with tulip skirt hugs all the right curves, while the colour combo strikes a modern pose that's sure to get you noticed.

 

•  Kuku Rosalie Ruffle Dress - ahhh this is beautiful, sexy and utterly chic! The gorgeous ruffle literally drapes right down the back to the hem, which is well above the knee creating a very sexy frock indeed. Be prepared to make an entrance in this stunning frock!
  

 

• Kuku Arabian Nights Dress - a very chic and sophisticated dress in a gorgeous metalic blue. A silvery grey belt cinches in the waist creating a classic shape that just doesn't date. And why would it when it looks this fabulous?!
  

Bracewell Basics are my chill out staple

The November drop of Bracewell arrived on Friday with just a few little pieces from their Basic's range. As is customary, I like to try everything on first, to get a feel for the fabrics, cut, sizing and so on so I can write up a good description for Ciao Meow. So when I tried on the Sunday Pant, I thought I'd died and gone to pants heaven! Seriously, they have to be one of the comfiest, softest, most luscious chill out pants I have ever embraced! Other than Jeans, I am not really a pants girl, so this is huge for me.

So perhaps a pair snuck into my private collection (hey, a girl's got a right to new pants!) and before I knew it, I had worn them all weekend. Yes, that's right, ALL WEEKEND! To the markets on Saturday for fresh fruit & veg, to the local boutiques for a little bit of shopping, to coffee and to browse even more markets and boutiques on Sunday and then to chill out at home in on Sunday arvo with some organic corn chips and a very big glass of wine. They were just so comfy, I could not find anything else in my wardrobe to beat them in the comfort stakes! They are officially, my favourite new pants...

So what did I wear them with? A Bracewell Basic's singlet of course! I simply added the Prairie Vest when I went out, which is another one of my absolute fave's of the Season! It just adds a little somethin' special to a casual outfit...

I hope you love Bracewell Basics as much as I do... they are simply the perfect wardrobe staples to build a fabulous collection upon.

Happy shopping and Ciao for now!
