Guest Bloggers Wanted!

Hi readers! First off, happy October!!! Although I am a water baby & love me some sun, I am a big fan of the Fall months. Although we don’t really feel any different down here in Miami, there is something special floating around the air that makes me smile. Something else that is making me smile this month is our 2nd European vacation! We leave to visit London, Glasgow & Dublin (& surrounding areas) at the end of the month and I was looking for some lovely people to guest blog in my absence (10/21-11/5).

If you are interested, you can email me at meli@melificent.com or hit me up on any of my social media platforms.

Hope to get some willing participants!

What I Wore: Anglophile

For those of you that don’t know me, I am an Anglophile. What’s that you say? Well, someone that is obsessed with British culture! I can’t really pinpoint when I became enamored with the English, but I know it has not let up. In fact, we are visiting London for a second time next month (the first was so mind blowing, I cried upon arrival) and have been religiously watching BBC shows for months now (Sherlock is my new favorite). That’s why I had to pick up this adorable skirt. Royals, phone booths and palace guards? YES.

What I Wore: Geometric Goodies

Geometric prints are really huge this fall as accents on everything possible, so naturally I had to add a piece to my wardrobe. I loved this warm tee because it is so comfy and can go with anything. Although it’s a basic, the print makes it something a little more special. I wore it for a day of pampering at the salon to slightly correct my ombre and then took the look with me to a food truck rally to celebrate Mexican Independence Day. Naturally, the only thing I could eat were macarons. The life of a glutard…. ::sigh::

What’s Your Fandom?

So I realized that I don’t really highlight my fandoms as much as I should here. There have been far too many outfit posts and not enough geekdom. So to remedy that, I bring you some of my favorite fandom pieces I’ve stumbled on while searching Etsy (which is far too often by the way).

1. Mordor Tee ($22); 2.Deathly Hallows Shirt ($18); 3. Potter Sweater ($42); 4. Sherlock Tee ($18.99); 5. Jon Snow Tank ($20); 6. Game of Thrones Bowtie ($10); 7. Baby Time Lord ($25); 8. Crossover Pin ($7.95)

Honestly, every outfit is infinitely better if it is announcing to the world that you are a die hard follower, don’t you agree? If you want to get lost in geeky overload, definitely visit the shop, EvieTees. I want one of each (especially this one).

What I Wore: Brooklyn Bridge

Sunday was our last full day in NYC. Although it made us a little sad, we realized we had to make the best of it! We had brunch in Brooklyn at Heath Ledger’s restaurant, Five Leaves (yum!), visited the 9/11 memorial (so heavy & moving) and had dinner at the amazingly glutard-loving, Risotteria. I also got to walk the Brooklyn Bridge for the first time ever. What a view! It’s always really hard to say goodbye to this city, and this time was not any different. Miss you, NYC!
