{Giveaway}: $100 The Limited Gift Card

Ready to spruce up your wardrobe for upcoming Spring? Thanks to the lovely people at The Limited, you can with a $100 gift card! Entering is easy: follow Melificent on Facebook (link here) & comment to this post with what you have been eagerly awaiting to add to your wardrobe. For me, it’s definitely more bangles and general wrist candy. This picture inspired the lust! The winner will be announced next Thursday, 3/8!

After visiting The Limited last week, I was impressed with the versatility of their collections. Some of my favorites were, of course, their beautiful pop pieces (like the skirt I featured earlier this week), as well as their travel suits that can be thrown into the washer and dryer (heaven sent). Finally, I really adored their reboot of the Outback Red collection (last available in the 80’s), which focuses on those of us bitten by the wanderlust bug. It recently features trends inspired by travel to Havana, Cuba, which I love!

In other words, I don’t think any of you will have a very difficult time spending this great gift card. 😉

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.

Enjoy pictures from my visit to The Limited grand opening under the cut!

Happy Hump Day: Scott Speedman

Everyone got to know Scott Speedman on a little show called Felicity back in the late 90’s, but I was never one of them. I guess I was just too cool for J.J. Abrams back then (blasphemer). The first time I laid eyes on Mr. Speedman was in the Underworld films, where he plays Michael Corvin, one hot piece of werewolf. So beyond gorgeous photos like the ones I feature below came as no surprise to me – apparently those Felicity fans don’t remember him being quite so hunky. Just proves my theory that men only get better with age (too bad the same cannot be said of us – sigh).

What I Wore: The Perfect Shirt

We are always searching for perfection, aren’t we? The perfect cup of tea, the perfect man, the perfect moment, and of course, the perfect shirt. When Conversation Pieces began singing the praises of their supposed perfect shirt, I naturally was a bit skeptical. Perfect? Really? What makes it so?

I quickly found out: super soft fabric, adjustable sleeves, basic colors and versatility. You can tuck it in for a business casual look at the office or a date night or leave it out to pair with your favorite pair of skinnies and high heels. I decided better than to just gush about it, I’d show you myself! I put together 2 outfits (of the many I’m sure I could throw together with this shirt) that reflected two different looks: (1) a fancy date night & (2) a fun girls night out.

Date Night!

Top; Conversation Pieces

Lovable Friday

1. Decorative Arrows

I have to say I am really loving all the decorative arrow elements I’m seeing all around Pinterest and Etsy! They are all very Katniss Everdeen – makes you wonder if the trend started just to spur more Hunger Games hype, right? But seriously, how cute would these mini pastel arrows look on a mantel or console table (you know I’m thinking about mine). Get some here!
