New in Store: Bouclé Jacket & Backpack

May 18, 2012

 !¡! New in Store !¡!

 

Plus Size – Vintage White Bouclé Open Front Jacket

This Plus Size Vintage White Bouclé Open Front Jacket is a throw back to the popularity of the Chanel style jacket/blazer that happened in the 1980’s. It is a great fashion piece to add to any clothing collection to spice up your basics–I did just this in the above picture! I paired it with a nice pair of denim and a solid V-Neck and I was good to go!

Like the look of this little spiffy jacket? Please check out the store–maybe it will be a perfect fit! You can take this baby home for $29.00 (plus shipping)!

Laurel in Wonderland

May 17, 2012

For a while I had been thinking about what kind of post I wanted to write with this photo shoot. I was saving this great idea I had to write about for tonight….BUT, then today happened… or life happened.

It was one of those New York days like I talked about in my previous post about life here.  I used the “shit on” metaphor in comparison to life in New York.  Today was one of those types of days. One minute I’m merrily living my life, doing my thing; the next I’m feeling a big wet plop on my face from the sky–and it’s one of those great big runny mess all over my face kinds. (I mean completely metaphorically speaking, of course.) On the plus side, you get 10 years good luck after you pooped on by a bird–right? I don’t know what to think about today, and I don’t want to go into detail, but it was one of my tougher times.

I’m trying to stay strong, because there were a few really, really good things that happened today too. One being–I had my first purchase at The Curvy Elle Shop! I’m so excited and have so many awesome ideas for my shop and blog!

Luckily, I love the colors in these photos. And the composition. And the clothes. Looking at them makes my day a little better! The Calla-lilies were in bloom and added a nice touch.

This photo shoot keeps making me think of Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz combined. Giant flowers, tiny houses to explore,  and a rainbow stepping stones to follow rather than a “yellow brick road.”

 

Like Dorothy and Alice, I am on a journey. Trying to find my way home…. Trying to find the hidden purpose.

The saying goes, “if life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”  I think I got some lemons today and it’s time to make some lemonade!
