Cadillac Ranch Grand Opening Party

Although CG Burgers really let me down, I am very excited about West Kendall getting another new joint: Cadillac Ranch. They tout themselves as a premier all american bar and grill offering BBQ, comfort food, cocktails…and a mechanical bull. That spells trouble – the kind I’d like to get into. And this Thursday, July 7th, I will be – and so should you! Cadillac Ranch will be hosting their grand opening party starting at 6pm with half-off cocktails (until 10pm). Even better? All money from each mechanical bull ride will go towards Autism Speaks! As if you needed extra incentive to have a go at the beast. 😉

For your free tickets, contact Joany Meurice at joany.meurice@autismspeaks.org and tell her Melificent sent you! Hope to see you there, fellow Kendallites!

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.

SheCon ’11

I will be attending She Con for the weekend, and I’m really excited about meeting
new people and learning new things about this business. I hope the experience can
make me grow as a blogger and help me bring you better material.

I’ll make sure to fill you all in on my experiences next week!
I hope you all have a fabulous weekend.

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 😉

What I Wore | Art Walk

Every second Saturday of the month, all the art galleries in Miami’s Design District open their doors to the public for free. I used to frequent the gallery walks years ago, but was really surprised to see this past weekend how huge the event has gotten. Food trucks line the street, amazing bands playing in every corner, free drinks and quality art. It only makes me wish there were more events like this in Miami on a regular basis! I had a great time with my friends and we are hoping to make this a monthly outing.
