What I Wore: Sunday Funday

June 17th, 2013 | Posted in Fashion by Meli

I live for my weekends, and this one lived up to the hype. The hubs and I spent some quality time together (& checked out Man of Steel – hubba, hubba Henry Cavill), and we had some great times with friends playing card games and drinking a whole lot of wine and eating some serious Spanish tapas. Knowing that we would be engaging in some legit hang time, I knew I had to dress comfortably. This maxi dress perfectly fits the bill because not only does it scream comfort, but it’s also super flattering. Plus I love the fun summer shade of coral paired with nude. In other words, it is the perfect summer uniform.

And more importantly, why do weekends fly by so fast?
Seriously, it’s not fair.

Lovable Friday!

1: Chalkboard polish; How on Earth could I not know about Ciate’s chalkboard paint polish??? Sephora states it’s a new item, so maybe I’m not that far behind the trend. I love that the set comes with its own nail pens to help you create your own unique patterns. Although school is over, this would make a great end of year gift for teachers, or just a gift for that special instructor in your life.

2: Colorful napkins; With all those summer parties in your very near future, you are going to need some sunshine-worthy kitchen accessories. In comes these gorgeous Anthropologie napkins in bold and fun colors and patterns. Serving, wiping and folding have never been more fun.

3: Confetti number cake topper; I’m a big fan of DIY cake toppers – it just adds that special something to birthdays, weddings, showers, etc. And this sweet little tutorial looks just perfect and seemingly easy. Definite birthday project!

4: High-waisted chevron swimsuit; Another adorable swimsuit with no original link. What gives, people? But seriously, this high-waisted chevron bikini is so perfect! I can imagine pairing it with a large, floppy hat, an ice cold piña colada and a relaxed state of mind {similar found here}.

5: Heart bowls; Talking about cute kitchen accessories – check this sweet bowl set out! I don’t know about you, but serving a nice healthy breakfast in one of these guys would make me way more apt to eat it. Just an idea, dieters.

What I Wore: Prints

June 12th, 2013 | Posted in Fashion by Meli

I know what you’re thinking. Now that it’s summer, what are you going to do with all those great long sleeved blouses you collected during the past few months? Easy! Just pair them with a light, soft pair of shorts and you’ve got yourself the perfect summer outfit! I did exactly that last week for an early Father’s Day celebration and it worked perfectly! I especially loved the details on the blouse’s collar. It’s all about the little things, people!

What I Wore: Summer is Here!

June 10th, 2013 | Posted in Fashion by Meli

Summer is all about lazy days full of sunshine, friends and cold drinks here in South Florida. Unfortunately, the weather hasn’t been very cooperative, but that doesn’t stop our spirit! Our friend organized a pool party at her dad’s place, which was the scene of many a debaucherous party in our early 20′s. We decided to try to recreate it and were surprised at how lame we are now (not really). Definitely not a rager, but a super fun night with very close friends, amazing food, rum, hookah & Cards Against Humanity. It’s the little things, folks.

And these shorts? They just scream summer. They are going to be the most soft and comfy article of clothing you slip on in the next few months, trust me. Hoping the next time I wear them, they will be paired with some sunshine!

1. Colorblock sneakers; Crazy colorful shades for the summer? Yes please! These great colorblock sneakers from American Apparel are sure to brighten up your June wardrobe, especially as a pop to any outfit. Yep, need ‘em.

2. Unicorn iPhone case; I stand behind anything unicorn-related. Especially if it is paired with a very unladylike statement. That’s why this iPhone case is kind of perfection. Have I mentioned I have a summer birthday? Just sayin’.

3. Lady suit; Gone are the days where a one-piece bathing suit was just for moms and body conscious women. I can’t get over how cute they are lately, and this one only proves my point. Unfortunately, I can’t find it online, but I’m pretty sure it is Moschino, which means I can kiss it and its hefty price tag goodbye. Le sigh.

4. Instagram flask; Do you and your friends insta?? If you know exactly what that phrase means, chances you are going to definitely want one of these sweet flasks. Can you say perfect groomsmen gift??

5. Mojito jello shots; I blame my good friend, Chris Fullman, for this find. I’m always looking for the next best party drink, and I think I have met my match. How perfect would these be for the next Melificent pool party? Although it seems to be some work (hello, lime scooping), I am up for the challenge!
