Happy Hump Day: Matt Bellamy

If you don’t believe there is something sexy about Matt Bellamy, you definitely have never seen him perform. This small little British Lima Bean (as I affectionately call him) really lights up a stage. He is the true meaning of showmanship. If you have not heard of his band, Muse, please make sure you change that. And soon. Perfect opportunity for local readers? Muse is finally headlining a South Florida show in February and you can buy your tickets on Friday! I can honestly say that attending their concerts are like a religious experience, and I can’t wait to watch them front and center behind that barricade. Who is joining me?

What I Wore: Dotted Denim

Ever since my Forever 21 fiasco that caused my self-imposed strike (proud I haven’t stepped foot in a F21 since the incident), I have been lusting over a good pair of dotted denim. I thought I had found the perfect pair at F21, but ha-ha, jokes on them! I found a fantastic pair at my favorite Marshall’s location that look even better! It’s always a tough job to pair patterned pants, but I like how these make it pretty easy with their dark denim wash and white dots. Have I mentioned how much I love all these fun trends? I feel like fashion has been taking a turn for the more whimsical and youthful and I couldn’t be anymore excited. I feel like I’m playing dress up every time I walk into my closet!

A Little Me Time

After some rough weeks, I thought it was time to have a little “me” day. Although, I’m pretty sure my idea of a “me” day is different from other girls. For me, it was getting a crazy-colored dye job and a fandom tattoo! I couldn’t be happier.

I’d just like to say that my hair stylist is the bomb. She always knows exactly what would work great with my style and isn’t afraid to take the risks I ask her to. If any of you readers are in the South Florida area, I can’t recommend Valerie at Kendall’s Peter of London enough. My orange and purple ombre is beyond. BEYOND. I think this one has even topped the pink!

Later that night, I was able to finally put my fandom (and endurance) to the test by tattooing the deathly hallows on my ribs. It had been something my best friend and the hubs had wanted to do as a bonding experience and although it didn’t work quite as planned (we just couldn’t sync up), it is pretty special. Another great recommendation if you are looking for a fantastic tattoo artist is Javier Betancourt at Ocho Placas – he did such an amazing job and has great “bedside manner.”

How was your weekend?

Happy Hump Day: Michael Trucco

Never thought I would be saying this, but I love Battlestar Galactica. I actually cannot wait to start eating my way through the final two seasons now that I no longer have to spend every waking hour studying for my exam. It’s everything good about TV and storytelling and…it also has a lot of eye candy. Namely, Michael Trucco. He’s pretty.

Halloweenie!

It’s that time of year: HALLOWEEN!
My absolute favorite holiday is just around the corner, so Casa Melificent is already slowly making its metamorphosis into Spook Central. Nothing makes me happier than to pull out that box full of goodies and start putting them around the house. We are nowhere near done, and I definitely want to tackle some of those awesome Halloween DIY’s floating around Pinterest, but for now, it’s a good start.

Do you love Halloween? What Halloween projects are you most looking forward to work on?
