Melificent

Adorable Blog Award

I was so flattered to see that I was given my first blog award from one of my oldest “online” pals, Terri. She just started a really great fashion blog full of cute inspiration posts, daily outfit photos and snippets of her every day life. You should definitely check it out and let her know that I sent you!

The Adorable Blog Award comes with a few rules, and here they are:

* Thank the person who gave you this award, and link back to them in your post.
* Tell us 10 things about yourself.
* Nominate your bloggers.
* Contact these bloggers, and let them know they received this award.

So, again, thank you Terri. I love your posts and have cherished your friendship through the last few years. I hope one day we can meet up for some drinks and gab about cute boys, fashion & blogging.

Shiny, Pretty, New Thing

I am so happy to announce that Melificent is sporting a new look!

I have my husband and our close friend, Fullman, to thank for the beautiful new site – I am so happy with the way it turned out and am even more excited to share it with all of you. I think this will mark the beginning of a new era for the little blog that could, dontcha’ think?

Feel free to look around and get yourself acquainted with the new features, and if you have a blog you’d like me to add to my links that is not there already, let me know!

ps; I thought this was a worthy enough announcement to skip this week’s hump day, but fear not, it will be back as usual next week!

To Crop Top or Not?

I remember back in my undergrad days, showing off your belly was totally in vogue.
In fact, I think my mid-section got more airtime than my own face during that time.

And now it seems that the trend has come back in crop tops once more. I’ve seen a lot of young girls sporting the look, and it isn’t always flattering, but I have to admit that I’ve been tempted to purchase one of these lately. I haven’t because I think I may be too old to rock them – my tummy definitely doesn’t look like it used to back in the day, but I’ve encountered some pretty cute styles out there. Then I saw this adorable ensemble on Lookbook, and I kind of fell in love:

So what do you guys think?
Should these tops be left to teens & college students in their early 20’s or
can an almost-30-year-old own this look?

SummerTime

This is what May in Miami looks like.
I am so excited that my pool is finally open for business because I’m hoping this is what the rest of my weekends will look like this summer. I got to don a bikini, show off my tattoos, catch up on my reading & doze off in the warm sun. And that’s exactly why I won’t have any fashion posts this week – unless bikinis count 😉

Lovable Friday!

1. Brightly colored pumps

I guess we can all thank Gwyneth Paltrow and her hot colorful heels at the Grammy’s for this new trend. And I’m not really complaining. These babies are a great substitute and at $32, you can’t deny them! Too bad I’d probably fall on my face with those serious stilettos. I’m going to have to start practicing 😉
