I love your blog, Melissa! It's like reading about a foreign country, but your enthusiasm for life feels universal. I came to you through Jezebel, and I just want to thank you for writing, photographing, and sharing.

Wha?? A photo of Mel without Monty?! How can this be?

You look like a princess Mel -- and to many of your readers, you are.

Hope you had a splendid time.

Tell you buddy Sommers that she needs to put a couple of good meals under her belt. She looks positively anorexic. You look great. The dress looks so much better on you than the model. Great color!!!

I love the color of Chappy's shirt. How much input do you get on his wardrobe decisions?

That was so serendipitous! I pulled up your blog to reference that dress from the wedding last month to show my hubby for his approval. I have an island wedding to attend in November and I was totally considering that dress after it looked so smashing on you! It's a toss up b/t the Milly and the CKB long beanstalk dress. I was also using your blog to reference the family crest ring for my husbands final approval! Just call me mini Mel...

Oh, and one last thing...I think Somers is gorgeous and I would give my eye teeth for her physique. I frequently spy her in the Hamptons mag and on NYSD and always, always think she looks great.

Absolutely love the dress -- and call me practical, but isn't it great to get another wearing out of a great outfit?
