What Summer Calls For

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

haircut A short, hip haircut!

I really tried this time to let my hair grow after so many people requested. I did. And it happened. My hair is currently extremely long. And extremely thick. And it is currently extremely hot & humid down here in South Florida, so in turn, my hair is extremely hard to deal with and spends its life in a disheveled ponytail. Can someone please tell me what is the point of having long hair if it is always tucked away and such a ginormous pain in the behind? I don’t know how you Miami girls do it. This crap is not for me, so I am doing what I have wanted to do for months now and getting my hair cut! However, apparently I am like Samson and need my hair for strength because I got so many disdainful looks by friends and family when I announced my decision, which got me thinking…Why do people believe women have to have long hair?

Does it represent our femininity? Youth?
What is it? Share your opinions with me in the comments.

And yes, my haircut inspiration is coming from the lovely Christina Ricci and her sweet short ‘do pictured above.
I can’t wait to be free!

Unfortunately, Melificent will be on hiatus until Wednesday, but I have a very good reason!
The hubs and I will finally be moving into our new home and won’t have Internet until Tuesday.
So I’m happy to report that my next post will be coming straight from the new Melificent headquarters (aka; the infamous pink room); it is a new beginning, a new chapter. I can’t wait to see what it holds in store for the both of us. Glad you are all here to share it with me.

If you miss me too much (I know it can be difficult – heh), then you can check out my brand spanking new Tumblr account, Melificent Loves. It is going to act as an accessory to this blog, where I can share things that inspire me on a more “quick and dirty” basis. I hope you enjoy it and feel free to start following me on Tumblr if you are a user as well – I love new friends!

Have a fun & safe Memorial Weekend, everyone!

xoxo

Summer Mixology

Monday, May 17th, 2010

So as you all know, I’m ramping up for summer and I figured it was the perfect time to upload a more summer-friendly mixtape! All these tunes make me think of laying out by the pool, road trips with no particular destination, flip flops and sunshine or all of the above. So turn it up and get your dose of musical vitamin D!

What are your favorite summer tunes for 2010?

Weekend Highlights

Saturday we went on a mini-road trip up to Orlando to pick up some white laminate flooring for the hubs’ office. Unfortunately, our IKEA doesn’t carry laminate flooring any longer and they refused to ship it down to our Sunrise location (which I thought was silly) so we just had to take matters into our own hands and drive up there to grab it ourselves! Since we were making the trek, we decided to make it worth our while by stopping in to Orlando’s new H&M at the Florida Mall. I wasn’t very lucky with clothes (either they didn’t have my size or it was ill-fitting), but was able to stock up on cute accessories including the two pairs of shoes above! The striped wedges were only $20, while the orange ballet flats were $10! I definitely cannot wait to have one of these closer to home!
