Photo Shoots

Lavender & a Lady

July 12, 2013

I’ve had these vintage gloves for a couple of months now, and I have been waiting for the perfect dress to pair them with.  This little floral number came along recently and I knew they were the perfect match for a fun 1950’s inspired photo shoot!

The black heels are also vintage from the 1950’s-1960’s. I usually cannot really wear spike heels, but for some reason this pair was actually fairly comfortable!

Sometimes you have to let the outfit speak for itself, but the lavender added a little spice to things! And, yes, I did “borrow” some lavender to take back to my office. Don’t tell anybody!

Taking Risk

July 9, 2013

“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.”
-Helen Keller, The Open Door

Yes, life is a “daring adventure” for me, because I never can stand still and stagnant for very long. Even though I hate change with a vengeance, and I am one big anxiety attack while going through it–I crave it. It is why I went to design school, traveled across the country to New York City, and started The Curvy Elle… Boredom is not in my vocabulary at least not for very long.

The move I have taken to rent an office space to build a show room and office for The Curvy Elle, has been one of the most frightening and exciting things to happen in my life. I could have very easily kept going as I was going and never made my business grow–that would have been the easy way. But, I never take the easy way. It’s not in me.

I look forward to where this new venture will take me. I am eager to hit the ground running and never look back…
