Curvy Elle Lately

April 6, 2016

Today I was thinking about the fact that next month will be The Curvy Elle’s fourth anniversary. It’s really crazy to think about how my life has changed since then. At the time, I was living in New York City, working at a job I didn’t care for, and doing my “dream job.”

 

Now, I’m living back in California, I’m married, and have a five month old baby girl. I knew back then, that I wanted to get married, have a family, etc. — but it was in the abstract. It’s both wonderful and crazy that it now has come to fruition.  Four years ago, I had a dream of starting The Curvy Elle — and I did it! And even before that, I had a dream to one day have a family — and, now, I’m doing it!

 

It’s really proves that you never know what will happen with your life in a years time…

 

Here is a little update on things going on with The Curvy Elle and me  lately. (For more, follow me on Instagram!)

1.  It was 90 degrees out today. Here is a selfie of Lorelai and I taking in some fresh air in our backyard (of our old house).

2.  My husband and I are home owners! We purchased this cute little house in March and are excited to get it fixed up, so we can move in!

3.  A beautiful old vintage chandelier that was left in the garage of our new house by the previous owner. I really want to clean it up and try to use it somewhere in the house.

4.  Lately, I’ve been trying to make a point of getting out of my yoga pants and leggings, and put on some real clothes (a difficult feat with a baby!). I’ve been trying to document this on Instagram with OOTD posts.

5.  A picture from a photo shoot for The Curvy Elle Shop I did recently (and when I say “recently,” it means since I gave birth! haha). I love the light from this unedited shot.

6.  Baby wearing in Target! Plus size women can baby wear too! Find what works for you, your body, and your baby. I own 4 different types and interchange them periodically.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back in the Swing of Things

I’m not sure if it is permanent, but the last week or so my baby, Lorelai, has been taking longer naps in the day. Which has been leaving me with some more time to get things done. Today, was the first day since she was born, that I have felt like I had the time, energy, and excitement to try and manage taking pictures.  I have missed this — doing photo shoots, getting things ready for The Shop. I finally feel like I am getting back into the swing of things. I can’t wait till I can try doing some thrifting again too.

 

I have to keep remembering nothing is permanent — the bad and the good. I’m so happy to have the ability to take care of my daughter and see her grow and flourish on a daily basis. All on top of having the freedom to run The Curvy Elle. I have a great and supportive husband and family.

 

On a non-sappy note — I really like this dress! I found it while thrifting during my pregnant months, but at the time I couldn’t get it on. I still have quite a few items that I collected before having Lorelai that need to be added to The Shop. So, more to come (hopefully) in the near future!
