The Curvy Elle: Photo Shoots

Summer’s been coming early here in California, and here we are with a second heat wave starting up! Woooooo! Today is a high of 91 degrees and tomorrow is a high of 95 degrees. I plan on hiding out as much as possible for the next couple days. Save me. (Yes, I am a weather wimp and when it’s too hot out, it becomes all consuming to me.) I snapped these pictures earlier today before it became too unbearable.

Last week was quite a week with the 2nd Birthday Celebration for The Curvy Elle. The celebration may be over, but the SALE and GIVEAWAY are both still going on until tomorrow.

Holy moly! Can you believe that it’s been TWO WHOLE YEARS since I started this little business venture of mine?! Who knew that something that started out as an after work-and-weekend “hobby” is now my job?!

Two years ago, I was sitting in an office in New York City, working for a small clothing company as an Assistant Fashion Designer. I sat at my desk telling my coworker that my dream was to run my own business selling plus size vintage and my own designs — now it’s a reality!

So, remember, no matter how “silly” or “trivial” a dream is — it can still become a reality! All you have to do it get off your butt and do it. Life is too short (I’m sorry about the cliché saying, but it’s true), so don’t keep putting off your dreams. Do what makes you happy, healthy, and able to live the best life you need. ‘Proof is in the pudding’ for me!

In honor of this momentous day and as a ‘thank you’ to my loyal followers, I am hosting a Birthday GIVEAWAY! Read below for the details and the form to enter. All readers are welcome (including those internationally) and shipping included. One winner will be picked on Wednesday, May 14, 2014.
