I’m missing my Vampire Diaries a little too much, so I figured I would get my fix and also make some readers very happy! I’m more of a Damon kind of girl, but I know a lot of you have requested a little Stefan Salvatore. So here you go, ladies. Enjoy some hump day joy in the form of Paul Wesley! Edward who?
Or at least pretty damn close, right?
Usually this is a time of year that makes most females cringe, drop that cupcake and hit the gym in a fury. Luckily, this year I can’t wait to buy some new swimsuits because #1: I may have a pool come spring (!) and #2: Thanks to my amazing trainer, I have lost over 10lbs and 2 inches off my hips (!!!). Victoria’s Secret must have sensed my enthusiasm because I just got their Swim ’10 catalog and I’m loving so many pieces! Now if only I could get their models’ abs & tans!
If you like what you see, check out their Swim section!
We definitely had no idea what we were in for when we sent in our RSVP for an old family friend’s wedding. The ceremony was at Epiphany Church and was standing room only. We discovered there were 1200 guests and 17 buses to shuttle us all from the church to the cocktail and reception venues, which were the most glorious houses I’ve ever seen in my life. Holy hell. We were greeted by Asian drummers, trays and trays of champagne, cirque de soliel type dancers and performers, an ice bar literally made of ice serving all kinds of shots and martinis and about 10 different food stations throughout the premises. Now that was an event. I wish pictures could do it justice, but they really couldn’t. Regardless, you can check out the set on my Flickr here. Congratulations to the lovely bride and groom!
I’d like to start off today’s Lovable Friday with a personal bit of love aimed directly at my amazing friends, Adri & Jose! Not only did they just close on their first home this week but they found out they will be expecting a little one!!! These two are going to make great parents and I am beyond excited for them both. Squee! 
One of my new favorite online shops is Plasticland. You may remember that I purchased the most awesome-sauce pink cuckoo clock there for my new pink room. Well, they don’t just have housewares. They have a variety of amazingly fun and retro items to choose from. And here are some of my most recent favorites:
Can I get one in every color under the sun? I would literally wear this skirt every single day.
Oh heck yes. Pair this with a black dress or with a pair of skinny jeans and you will get all the right kind of stares.
Decorated Tin Cupcake Carrier – $36
Being a big fan of baking and eating cupcakes, I often struggle with how I will transport them to parties or to my office. This is the most perfect and adorable solution ever.
My fellow music loving chicks are going to love this week’s 2-4-1 hump day hotties! I absolutely adore Kings of Leon. Every song on every one of their albums is amazing and live, they are mind-blowing. The band is made up of the good southern boys Followill along with their cousin Matthew. Lead singer, Caleb, and bassist, Jared, are especially yummy. Amazing music created by pretty faces is always a plus, right ladies?
So enjoy the pretty rock candy, band-aids!
And don’t forget to tell me who you would like to see next week in the comments!
I’m sorry this post came so late – we had a really busy (but wonderful) weekend and we didn’t have today off like the majority of you lucky people! Our Valentine’s Day was amazing though. Completely low-key in traditional Sanchez style, but very romantic and special.
I really love dress shopping (no secret on this blog), but I really hate how I often times have to pick the runners up because my favorites for events are usually way out of my price range. So I stroke them a few times, give them a kiss and then set them back on the rack. But I just discovered the site, Wear Today Gone Tomorrow, and I cannot wait to give it a try! The site is much like those seen for purses or even camera lenses – you get to borrow high-end designer dresses at 90% off for however long you’d like and then return them right back and pick up a new one! The lovely Paul and Joe Sister number above is one of the dresses on my current wish list and is only $34.50/week. Best part is I doubt I will need any of my dresses for more than one week as I’ll just be snagging them for special events like weddings, parties and showers. Has anyone used this site before? I plan on giving it a test drive next month so I’ll let you all know how it goes!
Melificent is a year old!
Although all my major plans fell through: no one submitted any videos (sad face), the hubs is backed up & doesn’t have time to work on a new layout for me (boo) and things have just gotten too complicated for an anniversary photoshoot, I still didn’t want my one year anniversary to come and go without any mention.
When I started this blog, it was mainly out of Livejournal withdrawals. I needed somewhere, something to write my ideas, thoughts and just general rants in. I had spent too many years with a blog and felt empty without one. I never imagined so many people would be reading about my life and my interests, much less following it religiously as some of you have admitted to doing. I also thought the idea of posting daily was really daunting, I figured it would drain me and I would eventually get sick of it and just give up. Never ever would I have thought that it would be anything but a chore. Granted, I’ve had my moments where life catches up to me and I can’t post regularly, but those have been far and few between. I genuinely love my blog and look forward to writing posts to share with all of you.
My first year has been more than I could ever dream, and I hope Melificent only continues to grow. I have a feeling my second year will be amazing – I have a lot of projects on the horizon and can’t wait to share them all with you here on the blog!
I love you all and want to thank each and every one of my readers for making me a valuable member of the blogosphere!
Feel free to share your thoughts & feelings about my blog in the comments!
Yeah so you can definitely tell I was influenced by my little My So-Called Life marathon over the weekend. I got a request from my favorite princess, Daniella, to feature Mr. Leto this week for hump day and I couldn’t really say no. Who could to this face? Unfortunately, he isn’t looking as hot lately as he did back in the days of Jordan Catalano, but that doesn’t stop me from listing his band, 30 Seconds to Mars, as one of my main guilty pleasures. So enjoy the pic spam and feel free to dream of the days when he was more of a Frozen Embryo.
