What I Wore: Impromptu Getaway

Although my week had a lot of high’s, there were quite a few low’s as well. It was stressful and I was pretty sure the end was nowhere in sight, so when the light that was Friday evening strolled around, I was ready to just relax. I had mentioned on Facebook that I wanted to lay out on a beach and do nothing, but I knew that wasn’t going to be possible. I had a lot of things on my agenda for the weekend, basically leaving me no time to just sit back and relax so I decided to take things into my own hands. Sometimes what you really need to do is cancel all your plans and take an impromptu mental health day. And I did just that.

I grabbed the hubs, we piled into the Cube and we made our way down to The Florida Keys. It was a gorgeous day, and we spent it admiring the scenery, looking at boats we will never be able to afford, drinking girly drinks (yum) and eating seafood (lobster to be exact – double yum) while ocean side. It was a beautiful and perfect escape – I highly recommend doing the same every now and then. Life is too short to not sit back and enjoy it sometimes.

Two Babes instead of one hottie

Although there is no hump day hottie today (sniff), I wanted to share some other lovables. Mainly, that you should all check out & follow my side project with the lovely Rosy of Accidental Sexiness, The Blogalicious Babes. We will be recording our first vlog this weekend (squee) & have this fun teaser trailer out for your viewing pleasure:

Even better is that we just got word that we will be covering this year’s San Diego Comic Con as press! I’m so excited to do some interviews with my favorite cast members and especially to bring a fun daily vlog to you all straight from the source! I’m also going to be taking pictures of great street style throughout the event and sharing them with all of you right here on Melificent! And don’t worry, there will still be a lot of content while I’m gone – the fabulous Aurora will be guest blogging for the entire week!

With that said, I hope you all have a great Wednesday!

What I Wore: Stripes! Color!

I love me some color, and I love me some affordable clothes. So needless to say, I had to buy something with my discount for joining the Sheinside site. I loved one dress in particular that was being advertised by what I imagine to be a fashion blogger. It was a cute and colorful striped dress that just screamed summer to me, so naturally I had to have it. I should have known it would fit me like more of a tunic top than a shirt dress – blame these Cuban hips. However, despite the too-short-ness (love making up words), it’s still absolutely adorable. I think I like wearing such bright colors because it is nearly impossible to be in or stay in a bad mood when you are wearing something so vibrant and fun. It’s like wearing happy, and who doesn’t want that?
