Surprise Spoiler

4336788404_dbd2b5ab86

So after incessantly guessing what my Valentine’s Day surprise could be, my husband caved and gave it to me last weekend! That’s right, I got my pretty little Fujifilm Instax Mini!!! I am so thrilled. He’s the best hubby ever! Plus, he assures me I have more gifts to open on Valentine’s Day so I didn’t spoil it completely. 😉

I’ve started to play with it a little, but I’m really excited to put it to use at some of the photoshoots the hubs and I will be doing in the next couple of weeks. It definitely gets a lot of attention when I pull it out of my purse but since film is so expensive, I try to tuck it back in there after a couple of shots. It requires a lot of self control 😉

I do hope to have a whole series to share with you once I’ve played with it longer!

What would you like to see me take shots of with my new Instax Mini?

Lovable Friday!

As most of you know, my blog will be one year old next week. When I first started blogging, I never imagined that anyone would really care to read about my life and the things I like to do, wear, see and hear. Now, I average about 300 hits a day. I know that does not make me the next Dooce or anything, but it is definitely more than I ever expected. I was kind of bummed because all the projects I had planned for my anniversary either fell through or just didn’t happen because of time restraints and then my friend Rosie shows up with this amazing cake! She is always one of the first to comment and is always singing my praises all over the Internets. She is really the sweetest and most incredible person. So thank you so much, Rosie! I know I told you a million times, but you made my month and totally caught me off guard! I heart you 🙂

I’m usually not into loving fad-ish cameras, but this one really got suckered me good. Although Polaroid is back with a vengeance, I can’t help but love the Fuji Instax. It’s adorably cute and helps you capture the moment instantly in fun bite-sized photos that you can put anywhere. My favorite uses of these pictures? These adorable wall collages. Hello, lover! 😉

Lovable Friday!

It’s been awhile since I’ve compiled a Lovable Friday due to the holidays! Unfortunately, not a very lovable Friday for me. I’ve been pretty sick the entire week. I guess I’m not cut out for this 40 degree weather in Miami!

Words cannot describe how happy this makes me! South Florida seems to always be the last to get amazing stores: we recently got West Elm and IKEA after years of lusting from afar and have yet to see an H&M (one in Orlando just opened several months ago). I cannot wait to take advantage of their fabulous sales without having to tack on those nasty shipping charges! And just in time for our new home too! The store opens in Lincoln Road Mall on January 14th. See you there 😉

& just because we are one measly day away from Friday, here is a new Melificent mixtape: Happiness is a Warm Mixtape. This mix was inspired from songs that make my heart smile and make me feel squishy. Basically, like an equivalent of a warm and comfy blanket. I hope you all enjoy it and that it carries you through to the weekend with a little more bounce in your step or at least a little more love in your heart.
