What I Wore: Keys Date

The hubs and I do Valentine’s…our way. This usually means something very low-key – remember the IKEA date? Or the stay-at-home foodie fest? Well, this year we decided at the very last minute to drive down to the Florida Keys and just bum around, enjoying the pure beauty of one of our favorite places. And what a perfect day! It was bright, sunny and chilly (we don’t get that trio often), and we were in heaven.

I’ve also finally gotten over my fear of colored denim and have jumped straight to blinding love. I was totally inspired by this Polyvore collage to pair animal print with my new absolutely favorite green pants – and who knew: it worked! I’ll slowly become braver and attempt color blocking in the future, but baby steps for now! I especially loved that I matched with all the local decor. 😉

What I Wore: Pup Getty

Happy Valentine’s Day to my lovely readers! I hope you all have a wonderful day filled with lots of love and happiness, whatever your relationship status may be! The hubs and I celebrated a little early this past Sunday with an impromptu trip down to the Florida Keys (more about that later this week), so today will be just another day for us. But back to the outfit post at hand! Over the weekend, we went over to our friend’s home for a get together to meet their new little (furry) bundle of joy: a 2-month old Boston Terrier named Jasper Finn! As if that wasn’t fun enough, we also had chilly weather, which meant tights(!), jackets(!), scarves(!). And you better believe I did all of the above.

Happy Birthday, Melificent!

It’s hard to believe that Melificent is 3 years old today. Where has time gone? I remember making the difficult decision to move from a private, locked Livejournal account to a public “big girl” blog. Little did I know how much of a creative outlet it would be, not to mention therapeutic. It’s been an amazing ride, as always. I want to thank all my readers (old and new alike) for supporting the blog and always providing such a positive environment. I’d also like to thank all those amazing bloggers that inspire me on a daily basis to work harder and provide more quality content.

Overall, what I have learned the most this past year has been to be true to myself on Melificent. It doesn’t matter what blog posts what. This blog is mine. And I will post whatever I’d like. Not to mention that sometimes, it doesn’t hurt to get a little personal. So thank you, all of you, for another wonderful year.

The best is yet to come.

I Call Her Red

{yeah, that’s a Jordan Catalano reference…}

I was finally able to fix my crazy dye job last week and the results are amazing!
So lucky to have been able to find such a kick ass stylist at Peter of London that understands my crazy wants and needs (I’m not the easiest client when it comes to hair).

My hair was about 3 different shades making it kind of embarassing to wear it down (even with my amazing new haircut), so that would be why you always saw it up in my attempt of a top knot bun. Now, I haven’t thrown it up since getting it done! Oh, red. I’ve missed you so.

What’s your favorite hair color?
