Manic Monday Shoe Post: MELISSA shoes!

Mel/Melissa Shoes

 

I am a huge fan of Mel by Melissa as well as Melissa shoes (their higher-end brand). They’re really cute scented plastic shoes made in Brazil and reminiscent of those adorable jelly sandals we wore in the 80s. I already have a pair of flats + pumps but am hankering for Melissa sandals for this wet, rainy summer.

Here are some of my favorite Melissa and Mel shoes for you to enjoy 🙂

Happy Monday!

Pantone-Inspired Spring Color Challenge: African Violet

I’m a little late to the game but I really wanted to participate in the Pantone-inspired Spring Color Challenge.

Today, I tried to mimic the African Violet color. Not having the exact color in my wardrobe, I chose the next best thing from my closet.

Sorry for the janky photos, once again, I had to get my sleepy hubby to take phone pix of me in the hallway because he wasn’t wearing enough clothes to go outside, LOL!


Also I wanted to show off my new bangles, especially this awesome Swarovski celestial bracelet. I just love it!

Nautical Bangle + Swarovski Sun, Moon, Stars, Planets Enamel and Rhinestone Bangle

Dress: Butter By Nadia Convertible Dress in Jersey. Color = carnation, purchased on clearance at shopbutterbynadia.com. Also worn here. (Plus old tank top from Old Navy)
