These Out Takes come from a summer shoot from the early days of The Curvy Elle in a post entitled: “1950’s House Wife.” They were taken at my grandmother’s house, which is almost like a time machine back to the 1960’s. She still loves to make her coffee with her glass percolator, has a lot of the same furniture from when she got married (1940’s) and on, etc. It hasn’t changed a whole lot as long as I’ve been around. I didn’t really appreciate her home and belongings until the past few years — before it was just “grams’ house.”

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.”
