What I Wore: Stripes! Color!

I love me some color, and I love me some affordable clothes. So needless to say, I had to buy something with my discount for joining the Sheinside site. I loved one dress in particular that was being advertised by what I imagine to be a fashion blogger. It was a cute and colorful striped dress that just screamed summer to me, so naturally I had to have it. I should have known it would fit me like more of a tunic top than a shirt dress – blame these Cuban hips. However, despite the too-short-ness (love making up words), it’s still absolutely adorable. I think I like wearing such bright colors because it is nearly impossible to be in or stay in a bad mood when you are wearing something so vibrant and fun. It’s like wearing happy, and who doesn’t want that?

Gimme a sec…

We had two very amazing house guests over the weekend, so you are going to have to forgive me this week. In fact, you may know them! Have you heard of the little blog they call The Great Discontent? If you haven’t, definitely check it out. It’s a very inspiring little spot on the Interwebs run by a truly fabulous couple.

Blog posts may be a little anemic, but I promise the quality will make up for the quantity!

ps; In case you are wondering, this is us swoop-swooping on South Beach!

Lovable Friday!

1. Place cards

Although this looks like it would be extremely tedious to put together, I can’t help but love these DIY pop up place cards. I think the secret is to keep this DIY to a small party with few guests to reduce the painstaking process of using an Exacto knife to cut out all names (am I the only one that is Exacto knife challenged?). Girls brunch? Bridal shower? Date night at home? Definitely a cute added touch that will make people smile.

Taste Nirvana Coconut Water

It’s no secret that I love coconut water. I became hooked last summer, and haven’t been able to kick the habit. Nor do I want to. It’s so good for you and your body. That’s why I was really excited to get some Taste Nirvana coconut water to try and review. The family-owned company boasts an all natural product, complete with eco-friendly glass bottle and no sugar or preservatives added. Something I noticed right away while drinking it was that it did not have a tart after taste like most other coconut waters. Reason being that these come from the coconut plantations of Thailand, not Brazil where the majority of coconut waters do, making it naturally sweeter with more fragrant coconut nose. And it is good. It is beyond refreshing – perfect for a trip to the beach or just relaxing by the pool (honestly, I don’t even need a reason). Plus, how could you deny a bottle of this stuff when it is branded as “happiness in a bottle?”

Melificent disclosure: Company provided me with the product in return for review above. However, all opinions are my own.

 

Happy Hump Day {Role Reversal}: Daisy Lowe

Remember the scandalous scandal that was Pearl Lowe and Gavin Rossdale’s love child? Everyone was flipping their lids and just wouldn’t drop it, despite the kid being a teenager and it happening way before Gavin was with Gwen, let alone knew her. But…I digress. What resulted from that tumultuous 80’s relationship was Daisy, a British model that is known best for showing off her tatas (none pictured, sorry guys) and dancing in lingerie for Esquire (video is hypnotizing, don’t really know why). And I like her. She seems like the type of chick that would be a great dancing/drinking partner, and I’m always looking for some of those. Please send all resumes to meli@melificent.com. 😉
