Curvy Elle Lately: Road Trip

August 3, 2014

As I have mentioned all week, I was on a road trip to Utah. I got back on Thursday night, after leaving early in the morning and driving straight through the whole 12-13 hour drive (OMG, I’m still super tired!).  It was a great visit, I got to see all my favorite Utah/Idaho places and people there, but am glad to be back home! Here is a little look into my trip through Instagram pictures.

1. Stopping at the first rest stop on our road trip to Utah, about an hour outside of Reno.

2. A visit to the Beehive House in Salt Lake City, which is Brigham Young’s home that has been decorated as a museum.

3. My mom, cousin, and I made a trip up to Lava Hot Springs, Idaho, where my grandfather was born. We soaked in the hot springs, swam in the pool, and checked out the cute little town.

4. Also on our trip to Idaho, we stopped at an old house outside of Soda Springs, Idaho, where my grandfather lived for a while, while his mom taught at the local school. This house was where they lived during this time. And, we survived going into this old house.

5. When in Ogden, Utah, must eat Farr’s Ice Cream! We made a side trip while visiting with family.

6. On our way into Utah, just over the border from Nevada in the salt flats.

 

 

 

 

Mid Summer Inspiration

July 31, 2014

We’re just about hitting mid summer and I’ve put together some images for a little inspiration and collection of plus size summer fashion pieces. It is also fitting, because, these images and mood remind me of visiting Utah in the summers while growing up. Since I am currently visiting Utah on a road trip, it makes sense.

When I would visit my great aunt and uncle in the summers, we would stay on their farm in Northern Utah. I’ve never actually been there any other time of year, so this is what reminds me most of it.

 

All image sources can be found on my Pinterest board, “Inpiration – In the Midst of Mid Summer.”
