I was brainstorming for a Friday blog post topic, when I realized how much I love Friday’s: the end of the work week, the beginning of the weekend. The feeling of relief when you wake up in the morning and realize Saturday & Sunday are upon you and the fun is just about to begin. Because of all these great feelings associated with Friday’s, I figured my blog post had to be just as lovable, exciting and fun. And then it came to me.
Lovable Friday! Why not make a post every Friday dedicated to the things I love that particular week. From people to accessories to blog posts to movies to albums. Things that would help the weekend start right: with a smile.
Let’s begin!
If you know me, you know I have an unhealthy obsession|fangirl crush with|Heroes’ Sylar (aka: Zachary Quinto). He’s just so so pretty in a I’ll-slice-your-brains kind of way. What can I say? I’m a sucker for tall nerdy boys. Anywho, I had been waiting for this spoilerific photo to become a reality in Volume 4 and it did (!!!) on Monday night. I hope it’s not the last of Sylar in uniform b/c it’s hot. Melificent approves. If you are out there Zach, call me. 😉
I stumbled upon these gorgeous signature vases on Oh Joy!, one of my favorite blogs, and I instantly fell in love. They are so elegantly simple and beautiful. I’m really big on modern & minimalistic floral pieces so this is right up my alley. This would look great as an accent to a sign-in table at a wedding or shower or just as a centerpiece for your dining room table. You can thank designer Frank Tjepkema for this amazing work of art.
While exercising some serious retail therapy Thursday afternoon, I found these amazing tops at Forever 21 for only $7.50. That’s right. These sexy satin tops were only $7.50 each, so naturally I bought 3 of them in the colors above: slate gray, hot pink and aqua. If there are two style trends at the moment that I cannot live without, they would be high-neck tops and high-waisted skirts so I was one happy camper. If you are nearby a Forever 21 sometime soon, swing by and pick yourself up a few too!
The “I Love You More Than Blank” website is one of the most adorable ideas in history. Basically, you submit the ending to the phrase “I love you more than…” and it is featured on their website. I made my submission at the beginning of last month and desperately tried to find it to no avail because of the multitude of entries since then! Their goal is to eventually publish a book with everyone’s submissions. Pretty amazing & pretty great to read through. Some are hysterical, while others are pretty heartfelt & touching. I’m sure if you ever stumbled on mine, you would know it was me. Hint: it has something to do with the #1 on this list. Heh.
I’ve been reading the last book of the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn, all throughout this week and although I’m kind of annoyed by still being stuck in the Jacob book (his story is hard to follow and honestly not interesting), I absolutely love my Twilight. It’s definitely been filling the void since the Potter series came to an end. I’m kind of embarrassed to say that I am completely in love with Edward Cullen and I think my husband may be jealous.
So with that, I leave you all to finish up the pesky work day and enjoy your weekend! I hope you all enjoyed my lovable things & if you did, please let me know!

One, two, three….GO!
Elsie, you & me fight over men all the time. No surprise there 😉
It’s a good thing the two of us aren’t single lol.
Nadia says
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that top! Too bad the last time I wore F21 was about 40 lbs ago 🙁 I used to LOVE shopping there…all the great graphic tees and cheap trendy stuff that would last as long as the trend would.
I love those vases…seems like such a *doy!* idea….Why didn’t we think of that?
Paris says
I always mean to steal the whole “Things I Love Thursday” idea from Gala but constantly forget, get lazy, et cetera, et cetera.
P.S. Those vases are superb! P.P.S. Your site looks great, did I tell you yet?
Meli says
Nadi – I wish I would have seen them during planning! Oh well, there are always baby showers in our future… 😉
Paris – I figured I’d try my hand at a list-y type weekly staple. Glad you guys like it! That blog you linked is pretty awesome. Thanks for filling me in!
& thank you!!!! I pretty much adore my blog right now <3

Hey Meli! Loving the new site/blog & I love love love this Loveable Friday idea! I too am trying to think up themes for certain days as right not it’s basically an Oliver blog & I haven’t gotten a comment in ages. Then again, I think this is like…my fourth blog, lol. Anyhoo, I wanted to add your blog to my links but for some reason it keeps coming up as El Sanchez & linking to that…weird.
I have to admit, although not a Sylar fan [& I’m kind of getting bored w/ Heroes…I know, what it wrong with me?!] he did look pretty yum in the SWAT uniform. mmmhhhmmm.
Meli says
Thank you Nita!!!!
It is super hard and honestly, I love Oliver so your blog is great to me – I didn’t even know you had one on blogspot :p
This link should work: http://feeds2.feedburner.com/melificent

Not a Sylar fan??? Oh, Nita. I don’t know if we can remain friends. 😉
