What am I aching to wear?

I am blessed to live in gorgeous Queensland, beautiful sunny Queensland, by the beach. Yes, I am HUGELY grateful for this fact. However... let me just point out, that it doesn't get overly cold here. Therefore the changing of the seasons is not overly noticeable. I mean, we're over half way through Autumn and I've barely gotten out of cami's, shorts and singlet dresses!

This makes it incredibly hard for a girl who runs an online boutique who is literally SURROUNDED by all the stunning, luscious, snuggly new season winter warmies that I am just ACHING to wear!  But it's too damned hot! And boots, did I mention boots? I want to wear BOOTS!!!

So, seeing as I can't physically wear them right now (without sitting in arctic style air-con, not really the environments best friend), I've decided to post up what I'd like to be wearing. Kind of like therapy for me, hopefully a little entertaining, maybe even a little wardrobe inspiring for you... I'll leave it up to you to decide.

What I'm aching to wear today...



Yes my friends, this is what I'd be wearing today if the darned weather would just play along! This gorrrgeous jacket from Fleur Wood is made from wool, so its super warm and just tailored to perfection. The Sumakhi dress is a nice thick jersey (great to hold you in) and I have to say, am obsessed with stripes! I would then add some black opaques with my favourite gun-metal grey suede boots, purchased from my gorgeous friend Julie of Jules & Roc (great online store ladies!). And some gorgeous dangly earrings - I'll keep you posted, but have some gorgeous new jewels arriving from Melbourne label Oh Deer. Seriously cool and quirky - stay tuned.

Ahhh yes, it feels good to dream about it. Honestly, it does. Kind of like living vicariously through my blog. If I can't experience it physically right now, at least I can experience it cyberly (ok not sure if that's a real word, but it fits). So what are you wearing today? Or what would you be wearing if the weather was right?

Share with us, we'd love to know!

Happy shopping & ciao for now,

Get back to basics

All the designers are doing it, so it's time to enjoy the fruits of their labour... We're talking jersey basics and boy do we love them! Think super soft jersey's, simple well cut styles, flattering shapes, beautiful quality and perfect layering pieces... all these attributes make them easy wardrobe essentials, ideal for trans-seasonal dressing and an excellent wardrobe investment as they are perennially stylish. What's not to love??

Enjoy these styles now at Ciao Meow...

Fleur Wood Baker Boy Jersey Dress - add tights and boots and you're good to go. Good idea to leave the sausages at home though :o)

Fleur Wood Element Blouse - beautiful cream 3/4 sleeves with option to roll up. Worn here with Fiction Jacket and jeans. Just classic.
Fleur Wood Element Dress - simply navy jersey, add tights and over the knee boots, sling on a colourful scarf and it's perfect for brunch with the girls.
Fleur Wood Baker Boys Cardi - a classic navy stripe in a draped, easy to wear cardi - perfect to throw on over a dress or a Tee (pictured here with Nookie Stevie Tee), it's a trans-seasonal Must Have.
Nookie Stevie Tee - simple black well cut Tee in a super soft jersey. You just can't go wrong here! Add it to basically ANYTHING and look stylish.
Nookie Tyler Tank - add a little embellishment and voila, you have instant glam in a simple Tee. Love it! And we're loving the gorgeous Teal colour too.
Nookie Pretenders Stripe Maxi - ahh the jersey maxi, very elegant and so soft you'll swear you were still wearing your PJ's! A great dress to wear anywhere - add a blazer for work or a cool vest for play. Seriously cool.
Sumakhi Blue Haze Cape Dress - love the powder blue, this is almost like a poncho in a dress but 100 times cooler than the ones your mum dressed you in when you were 3! Add a belt and you have an instant style lift.

Soooo.... what do you think? Convinced that jersey basics are a stylish girls best friend? Right then, so what are you waiting for? Go forth and shop! Enjoy...
Ciao for now,
