Happy Hump Day: Jennifer Lawrence

I hate to be so cliche, but I love me some Jennifer Lawrence. Sure, so does the rest of the world, but I’m pretty sure she’s my best friend in hiding. I mean, the world may implode if we meet so it’s best if we keep things this way, right? Obviously. But in all seriousness, this chick is amazing. Not only can she act like a boss, but she is charming, hysterical and geeky all at once. All it takes is a quick search for “Jennifer Lawrence gifs” to instantly fall in love. That love naturally amplified to an all-time high when she took a tumble at the Oscars, gave the finger to a photographer who mocked her for it and completely lost her shit when Jack Nicholson recognized her.

She is the epitome of imperfection and that’s kind of what makes her perfect.

What I Wore: Animal Print & Neon

My boot is off!!!! Although I am not walking normally and it will be some time before I rock heels, I can’t tell you how free and wonderful I feel to have that 10 pound clunker off my body. And that means outfit posts are back!

Some may say that mixing animal prints and neon is just too much. I say it’s absolutely necessary. Nothing screams of pure joy and relaxation more than a Meli in a loud outfit. In fact, it’s pretty much how you can gauge my emotional state. Beware of a Meli in neutrals and instate an intervention at once.

Guys.

It happened. I passed my test. Finally.


This is why I will be MIA this week. I’ve been celebrating nonstop – it feels really special when I can’t even count the amount of people that want to take me out to do just that on one hand. It’s been an amazing few days, so I just wanted to pop in to let you all know what’s been going on, and of course, to share my excitement.

Guys, never give up if you really want something.
I can’t stress that enough. You will have to work hard & sacrifice a lot, but it will be worth it.

 

I Miss Outfit Posts!

 


Just a quick little note to let you all know that I miss outfit posts terribly! For those of you that are not in the know, I fractured my foot almost 5 weeks ago. It’s been a process that included me being in a cast for 2 weeks, and now a bootie for 4 additional weeks. Good news is that I can take it off in a week and then come back full force with outfit posts. I’ve wanted to take some with the bootie in tow, but it just doesn’t feel the same.

I hope you’ve missed them just as much as I have, and I promise you they’ll be better than ever once I have all limbs back in functioning order. Three cheers for that!
