Lovable Friday!

It’s been awhile since I’ve compiled a Lovable Friday due to the holidays! Unfortunately, not a very lovable Friday for me. I’ve been pretty sick the entire week. I guess I’m not cut out for this 40 degree weather in Miami!

Words cannot describe how happy this makes me! South Florida seems to always be the last to get amazing stores: we recently got West Elm and IKEA after years of lusting from afar and have yet to see an H&M (one in Orlando just opened several months ago). I cannot wait to take advantage of their fabulous sales without having to tack on those nasty shipping charges! And just in time for our new home too! The store opens in Lincoln Road Mall on January 14th. See you there 😉

Almost 1!

It’s pretty unbelievable to me, but Melificent is going to be one year old in February! I can’t tell you how much fun I have had in the past year managing this blog. It’s been my stress relief tool in so many occasions and it’s been able to broaden my horizons in terms of creativity. Plus, I’ve been introduced to so many beautiful blogs that inspire me on a daily basis as well as push me to strive to be just as amazing with my own. I’ve even gotten some really great emails from people that genuinely enjoy reading Melificent, which is so ridiculously flattering.

Like I mentioned in my 2010 wishes, I would love to give this blog more attention and hope to accomplish that in Melificent’s 2nd year in business. Kicking that off will be a redesign of the blog by the hubs next month as well as a little video project I’d like to introduce to you all here:

It’ll be fun!

Happy Hump Day: RDJ

The only guy you know instantly by just saying three little letters. And the guy a whole bunch of you requested for today’s hump day hottie! I can’t say that I disagree either, ladies – it’s elementary. 😉

Sorry I have to be so brief but unfortunately this week is busy busy busy.
Enjoy the glorious picspam!

2010 Motto

dresslikeacupcakeIf you are my friend on Facebook, you’ll remember that I posted a picture of this adorable print and stated that it was going to be one of my motto’s for 2010 and although silly, it is no lie that a girl’s attitude will sky rocket if she thinks she looks good. And for me, looking good means bright colors, ruffles and glitter. That’s just the way it is. And here are some sweet and affordable pieces that would definitely fit my new motto:

Weekend Highlights: NYE Edition

We hosted a little shindig on New Years Eve at our pad for some of our closest friends that didn’t have any plans to ring in 2010. It was small, but so fun. Thanks to a group of some amazing friends, we received Beatles Rock Band which was the highlight of the night. We were actually having so much fun singing and playing along that before we knew it, midnight was right around the corner. We had a fun midnight toast with canned Sofia’s and spent the rest of the night catching up and just hanging out. Nothing too raucous or insane. I couldn’t think of welcoming 2010 in a better way.

The rest of the long weekend was spent being romantic, dancing with friends, visiting family and running random errands. Perfectly understated. Hello, 2010, you are going to be lovely.

Good luck to all of you that are going back to work today (like me) – it’ll be a hard week, but we can do it! And if all fails, just think: 4 more days until the weekend!
