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 🙂
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!
