A very happy new year to all of you out there in the blogosphere!
I hope it was full of dancing, sparkles, champagne, laughter and midnight kisses leaving you with hope of a brighter 365…

With that said, Melificent will have some new features in the new year & I wanted to share them with you all today!

{After being inspired by Closet Confections’ 30 for 30, I will be doing my own amended version}
Basically, I will be posting a daily picture of myself in an outfit for the entire month of January. I took a poll on my FB fan page last month asking readers if they would like this kind of format & I got a lot of positive feedback. I was really flattered & hope I can live up to all your expectations for the next 30 days. That’s right, I start today!

{I will have a new monthly feature: Melificent’s Mighty Maven of the Month}
Similar vibe to my very popular hump day posts, but minus the hump. These are girls that I find to be intelligent, cool and inspiring amongst other things. Girls I’d like to share an ice cream cone or beer with (depending on the chick); girls I’d like to be when I grow up. This was another reader suggestion that I thought would be a great addition! We can’t give the boys all the attention, right?

That’s where the blog is at right now, but I hope to be sharing even more exciting new features with you all as the new year  progresses. I’m feeling pretty positive about 2011, are you?

ps; Feel free to leave comments with any additional recommendations. I’m always looking for new ideas!

{Geeky Hip}: Romper Room

I was so excited when I got my fun little romper from ModCloth last week! As you all know, I had been looking for a stylish, yet comfy outfit to wear to the Epicenter Festival for the Bush reunion and I was pretty sure I hit the nail on the head with this cute romper. However, I had never ordered from ModCloth before so I wasn’t sure what to expect quality or fit wise. I was pleasantly surprised when it fit perfectly! This little number is the perfect summer outfit – it’s airy and sweet. The perfect accompaniment to a poolside BBQ, a beach bike ride or in this case, a summer concert.

So for those of you wondering if ModCloth is a viable option while doing a little online retail therapy, I can give it a really big thumbs up! I’ve just noticed that if you have your eyes on a certain item, don’t dilly dally. They seem to sell out pretty quickly so you have to act fast!

Have a happy geeky Tuesday!

{Geeky} Hip: So So Happy

While at Comic-Con a couple of weeks ago, I was lucky enough to stumble on the So So Happy booth on the Convention floor. It was like a slice of Melificent heaven: Lots of bright, fun colors and cute characters. They had tees, tattoos, pins and plushes, just to name a few and as if their products weren’t amazing enough, they had two wonderful people running the booth that were a joy to speak to. Needless to say, I left with a slew of goodies and can’t wait to shop at their online store for even more!

But you know what I love the most? The company’s message that we should embrace everything good in the world and treat everyone with respect and kindness. Each kind of bizarre character in their arsenal is supposed to represent each one of us that may be a little out there, a little eccentric, a little different, but still happy and worthy of everything this great life has to offer. Plus, 10% of all sales go to organizations such as Music Saves Lives and To Write Love On Her Arms, all charities that help today’s youth through different hardships. You just have to love a company that wants nothing more than to spread love, happiness and peace. It’s contagious.

So embrace your uniqueness and get so so happy…today!

Plasticland Favorites

One of my new favorite online shops is Plasticland. You may remember that I purchased the most awesome-sauce pink cuckoo clock there for my new pink room. Well, they don’t just have housewares. They have a variety of amazingly fun and retro items to choose from. And here are some of my most recent favorites:

P91126702

Watermelon Mini Skirt – $44

Can I get one in every color under the sun? I would literally wear this skirt every single day.

P91117901

Bardot Platform Pumps -$39

Oh heck yes. Pair this with a black dress or with a pair of skinny jeans and you will get all the right kind of stares.

P00209018

Decorated Tin Cupcake Carrier – $36

Being a big fan of baking and eating cupcakes, I often struggle with how I will transport them to parties or to my office. This is the most perfect and adorable solution ever.
