Circus Love

For those of you that haven’t followed my online presence throughout the years, I was a very active “knottie” that enjoyed planning my wedding during my 2-year engagement. I really really loved it. To the point that I considered at one point (& sometimes still do) making wedding planning and coordination a career. It’s the reason I still find myself lusting after events like these.

Adam & Halli’s wedding was something out of an Anthropologie catalog somehow without being pretentious. They created an old school circus feel for their wedding from their attire to their location to their decor. The attention to detail was outstanding – from Halli’s “Till Death Do Us Part” tee for their rehearsal to the adorable kissing booth during the reception. It is a  party planner’s dream come true.

So for those of you that read my blog and are currently planning a wedding, definitely click here to see all the photos from their amazing photographer. You will be flooded with inspiration! And if I were to get married all over again, I would love my shindig to look as effortlessly flawless as this adorable backyard wedding.

Lovable Friday!

1. Partial Comic-Con Schedule Released!
1. Partial Comic-Con Schedule Released!

I don’t think I need to describe what Comic-Con is anymore or the fact that I am going next month, right? Yeah, I didn’t think so. This week, some of the heavy hitters of the television world announced their presence at Comic-Con. Interested into who will be in attendance and holding panels? Check out this link for the schedule complete with date and times, but you can expect to see Big Bang Theory, Dexter, LOST, True Blood, Fringe, Eureka and the much-anticipated Flash Forward. The biggest disappointment and definitely not something to love this Friday is that Heroes will officially not be holding a panel this year. They will have “a presence” (whatever the hell that means) and with this presence apparently comes a sneak peek at Season 4. I’m super bummed because Heroes panels are known as being the best of the entire convention – I was really looking forward to participating in one. Oh well, let’s hope this presence is a damn powerful one, right Heroes fans? 😉

Featured: Gala Darling

Every now and then, I form a girl crush. The “I’d love to hang out with you 24/7, borrow your clothes, dance on beds and take over the world” kind of feeling. Well, I feel that way about Ms. Gala Darling. She is a wonderfully eccentric and fabulous New Zealander that has made New York City her playground. Her blog is full of daily inspiration when it comes to fashion, music and life in general. I love a lot of blogs, but this one just sucks me in. If you know me personally, you would agree that Gala or a very similar girl is nested somewhere inside of me. I would love to dye my hair neon pink, live in a fabulous city and maintain my wardrobe on only sequins & glitter. She lives her life the way I aim to live my own: to the fullest, without regrets. I basically love everything about her.

Birthday Fashion Planning!

aaaaathrwyqaaaaaan0-cq

I can’t believe it, but next month we’ll already be heading to Comic-Con International in San Diego to celebrate our geekiness & my 2_ birthday! I remember when we first bought our tickets last year and how far away it seemed. Now it’s right around the corner!!

Besides all the fun we will be having in the actual convention with our favorite stars, I also plan on celebrating my birthday nightly (bwaha!). Augi and I are lucky enough to have 4 of our closest friends joining us on the trip and as if that wasn’t great as is, a bunch of my California dearies are also going to be meeting up with us to join in on the fun! Hopefully we’ll be hitting up some fun spots every night and I want to make sure I play the part of the birthday girl. This means only one thing: cute outfits!

1. Trip to California!
1. Trip to California!

Next week the hubs and I will be heading to the west coast to join in the festivities for his cousin’s high school graduation in Folsom, CA. Although we will only have one day to enjoy the amazing-ness that is San Francisco, I will take it! The hubs grew up in the Bay Area so no doubt his heart strings will be pulled hard and tight – can’t make any promises that we will want to come back! 😉 This also means that Melificent will be devoid of any posts next week, so try not to miss me too much! Hopefully I’ll return with some great posts about my trip. On an aside, I have no idea what to pack for our day in SF! This Miami girl does not know how to handle drastically changing day-to-night weather! Yipes!
