Where I’m Headed: Atlantis!

This week I’m headed to Atlantis for a week long vacation! I’m so excited & have been packing in preparation, I thought I’d share some of my ideas of great things to pack when you’re headed to any type of tropical destination!

XOXO, Mel

Let’s Get Orlando Off the Worst Dressed List!

Thursday, I had the pleasure of being on Mix 105.1’s morning show! Much to my dismay, Orlando has been named 4th worst dressed in the nation, so Scott & the morning mix team had me on their show to discuss my thoughts on why we got this unfortunate title, & what we can do to change it!

You can listen to the segment here:

As I said on the show, there’s lots of ways to dress up the typical t-shirt/flip-flops combo that we as Floridians love to fall back on because of the excruciating heat. I put together some of my picks for items that are still comfortable & easy to throw on, but will help you look a little more stylish & pulled together! 🙂
