Memorial Day Photobooth Highlights

I kind of pride myself on planning some pretty fun parties. Although that means I feel some serious pressure during the planning phase, there really is nothing like the high of throwing a successful fiesta. And our Memorial Day pool party was nothing short of amazing, partly due to the fun photo booth we put together in our entry way. It was a super simple project: 2 yards of IKEA fabric, duct tape and lots of handmade props combined with dollar bin finds. Without further ado, here are some of my favorite shots.

Melificent Mentions

So I know I said I would be taking a week-long hiatus, but I couldn’t help but share some of these amazing nods to both myself and the blog. It’s been pretty exciting to see this blog take shape over the past couple of years, and I love having it as my unofficial 2nd job. I’m even more proud of the opportunities that seem to be sprouting all over lately. I can only cross my fingers and hope this string of amazing continues.

Both myself and my girlie outfit for SheCon were featured on Tyra Banks’ beauty and fashion website, Type F. Check out the rest of the slideshow to see other Miami ladies strutting their fashion sense both at the convention and on the streets of Lincoln Road.

I was also published on my first blog outside of Melificent for Ultimate Coupons. I wrote up a post about shopping gluten-free on a budget, which is a topic I am constantly grappling with myself. If you are also anti-wheat, make sure to check it out. Who knows? You may get some pointers! Also, the site has some fabulous ways to cut back on spending without losing style, comfort and fun so make sure to browse around a bit.

Little break

Busy busy little bee this week, so I’ll be away from the blog.
I hope you all had a great long weekend – I sure did!
Our pool party was a success, and I will have a lot of fun photo booth pictures to share with you when I return.

Nothing but love, sunshine & rainbows!

Sorry to not be able to share Lovable Friday with you all today, but I am very busy planning and getting ready for our Memorial Day pool party tomorrow! I hope you all have an awesome long weekend, have a blast and stay safe! Also, don’t forget to wish us sunny skies – it’s supposed to rain and that would just be awful. Positive thoughts!

Dreaming in Ginger

While looking through Pinterest, this picture caught my eye immediately. Besides being a gorgeous photo of a gorgeous girl, I couldn’t help but drool over her equally gorgeous hair. It instantly made me miss my red hair. Although I have been having a great time as a blonde (seriously starting to believe that they have more fun), and think it’s a really flattering shade for the summer, I am pretty sure I’ll be mimicking this one for my birthday. It’s just so vibrant and eye catching, don’t you think? And not to toot my own horn, but I’m pretty sure I make a pretty hot redhead.

What shade are you hoping to or wish you could rock this summer?
