Melificent Mentions

So I know I said I would be taking a week-long hiatus, but I couldn’t help but share some of these amazing nods to both myself and the blog. It’s been pretty exciting to see this blog take shape over the past couple of years, and I love having it as my unofficial 2nd job. I’m even more proud of the opportunities that seem to be sprouting all over lately. I can only cross my fingers and hope this string of amazing continues.

Both myself and my girlie outfit for SheCon were featured on Tyra Banks’ beauty and fashion website, Type F. Check out the rest of the slideshow to see other Miami ladies strutting their fashion sense both at the convention and on the streets of Lincoln Road.

I was also published on my first blog outside of Melificent for Ultimate Coupons. I wrote up a post about shopping gluten-free on a budget, which is a topic I am constantly grappling with myself. If you are also anti-wheat, make sure to check it out. Who knows? You may get some pointers! Also, the site has some fabulous ways to cut back on spending without losing style, comfort and fun so make sure to browse around a bit.

Dreaming in Ginger

While looking through Pinterest, this picture caught my eye immediately. Besides being a gorgeous photo of a gorgeous girl, I couldn’t help but drool over her equally gorgeous hair. It instantly made me miss my red hair. Although I have been having a great time as a blonde (seriously starting to believe that they have more fun), and think it’s a really flattering shade for the summer, I am pretty sure I’ll be mimicking this one for my birthday. It’s just so vibrant and eye catching, don’t you think? And not to toot my own horn, but I’m pretty sure I make a pretty hot redhead.

What shade are you hoping to or wish you could rock this summer?

Romper Room

While trolling the beach over the weekend, I could not help but notice that everyone was rockin’ a romper! I am a big fan of rompers, but mainly when they are on other people besides myself. I just do not think I can pull them off since I think my legs are my weakest feature, but after seeing all the fun, fabulous fashionistas strutting their stuff up and down Lincoln Road, I think I may give one a whirl. Well, maybe after I take up spinning again….

Here are some of my favorites:

Urban Outfitters

ModCloth

Pinterest

Lookbook.nu

Yumi Kim

Are you a big fan of the romper revolution?

To Crop Top or Not?

I remember back in my undergrad days, showing off your belly was totally in vogue.
In fact, I think my mid-section got more airtime than my own face during that time.

And now it seems that the trend has come back in crop tops once more. I’ve seen a lot of young girls sporting the look, and it isn’t always flattering, but I have to admit that I’ve been tempted to purchase one of these lately. I haven’t because I think I may be too old to rock them – my tummy definitely doesn’t look like it used to back in the day, but I’ve encountered some pretty cute styles out there. Then I saw this adorable ensemble on Lookbook, and I kind of fell in love:

So what do you guys think?
Should these tops be left to teens & college students in their early 20’s or
can an almost-30-year-old own this look?

Lovable Friday!

1. Brightly colored pumps

I guess we can all thank Gwyneth Paltrow and her hot colorful heels at the Grammy’s for this new trend. And I’m not really complaining. These babies are a great substitute and at $32, you can’t deny them! Too bad I’d probably fall on my face with those serious stilettos. I’m going to have to start practicing 😉
