What I Wore: Islamorada

So I know I mentioned that Key West was my favorite of the Florida Keys, but I have to say that I may cheat on it every now and then with Islamorada. You see, Islamorada is a short one hour drive from our house, and it immediately transports you to paradise. Bright turquoise water, waterfront dining and drinking, and locations with nothing but personality. Although I have many day time haunts on the island(s), my favorite place to go to once the sun starts to set is the Islamorada Fish Company. You just cannot beat the spectacular view and delicious food. Don’t be surprised if I end up back on this pier in the weeks to come.

What I Wore: Key West

There are very few places I love more than Key West. The laid back, beachy vibe suits me so well. The minute I arrive, I want to head straight to either The Green Parrot or Fat Tuesday, grab a drink infused with some kind of rum, and relax. There is no rush (only for your next drink), no place to be, no dress code. Oh, & it’s beautiful. Especially when the sun is shining and your friends are by your side. Is there anything better? I think not.

Thank You

I just wanted to extend a huge virtual hug to all the lovely people that left me sweet comments on the blog, Facebook and Twitter about my decision to take a hiatus. I really appreciate everyone’s support of Melificent! Although I am currently working on some new endeavors that will bring me back into the blogosphere in one way or another, you can catch me over on Instagram. I’ll be showcasing my outfits in a different way over there & hope I can continue to provide some fun & joy over the Interwebs.

I hope to be able to announce 1 of the 2 new projects by the summer months (I’m aiming for July)!

What I Wore: Lily Dawson

So, as you all can tell, I kind of like this blouse. Just a little. If I could wear it every day, I would. And I knew I had to recreate this outfit using it as soon as humanly possible. Of course, it helped that I added an extra special touch in the form of this gorgeous necklace from Lily Dawson Designs. The rhinestone necklace has this amazing ombre detail that makes it seem like it is on fire. I guess it lives up to its name, the Handpainted Flame necklace. Just call me Katniss Everdeen.

What I Wore: Family Day

Every now and then you need a nice reset button: a day spent with family, catching up and realizing what is important in life. It also helped that it was a gorgeous day in South Florida: crisp and cool – something we don’t get to experience a whole lot of. I probably should have worn some pants, but I couldn’t resist this new striped maxi skirt – sorry guys, but I plan on wearing this every day. Deal with it. 😉
