What I Wore: Animal Print & Neon

My boot is off!!!! Although I am not walking normally and it will be some time before I rock heels, I can’t tell you how free and wonderful I feel to have that 10 pound clunker off my body. And that means outfit posts are back!

Some may say that mixing animal prints and neon is just too much. I say it’s absolutely necessary. Nothing screams of pure joy and relaxation more than a Meli in a loud outfit. In fact, it’s pretty much how you can gauge my emotional state. Beware of a Meli in neutrals and instate an intervention at once.

Guys.

It happened. I passed my test. Finally.


This is why I will be MIA this week. I’ve been celebrating nonstop – it feels really special when I can’t even count the amount of people that want to take me out to do just that on one hand. It’s been an amazing few days, so I just wanted to pop in to let you all know what’s been going on, and of course, to share my excitement.

Guys, never give up if you really want something.
I can’t stress that enough. You will have to work hard & sacrifice a lot, but it will be worth it.

 

I Miss Outfit Posts!

 


Just a quick little note to let you all know that I miss outfit posts terribly! For those of you that are not in the know, I fractured my foot almost 5 weeks ago. It’s been a process that included me being in a cast for 2 weeks, and now a bootie for 4 additional weeks. Good news is that I can take it off in a week and then come back full force with outfit posts. I’ve wanted to take some with the bootie in tow, but it just doesn’t feel the same.

I hope you’ve missed them just as much as I have, and I promise you they’ll be better than ever once I have all limbs back in functioning order. Three cheers for that!

Happy Hump Day: Christian Göran

I guess it makes me a hipster if I tell you that I love a boy with a beard?
So be it. It’s true. Beards definitely do it for me and I always insist the hubs rocks one whenever possible (still wish he wouldn’t have shaved for our wedding – hmph). I stumbled on this gorgeous male model while on the pinterest, and funny enough, my hubs was the one that discovered who he was for me so that I could feature him here. He truly is the best Melificent VP ever. Always willing to search hot dudes for me. Yep, he’s a keeper.

Master Bedroom Redo

Is it possible to nest without being pregnant?
This is what I’ve been asking myself since I decided 2013 would be the year that we would start phase 2 of home renovations/remodeling/general facelifts. Although I feel like our house is definitely a home, we want it to portray more of our personalities, so we are looking for more art for the walls, spunkier furniture and accessories to spruce things up a bit in certain rooms.

I am currently focusing on the living room, but the bedroom is next up on the plate. Right now, our bedroom is very dark and masculine. Basically: not us. We wanted to make it a little lighter and brighter, and the hubs has been nice enough to let me add some more feminine touches. Here is a guide I’ve been working with to try and decide on aesthetic and I decided to share it with all of you in case you are also looking for something similar for any room in your home; new or old.

So back to that question. Nesting: only a phenomenon while pregnant? I vote no. What do you think?
