My Valentine’s Day “Blogger Sweetheart”Retro Shoot

I have embraced the “Just Do It” approach for the most part!

The Return of Eloquii
You see, even while to old ELOQUII was open, we wanted more. Wanted a site that catered to the young professional, the grown and sexy, the edgy, confident plus size woman.
All things that we knew ELOQUII could be… well, the wait is over! In an email that launched me out of my bed like a rocket, ELOQUII announced its arrival and with light speed, I hopped over to the site to see what they had for us…

Getting Silly With My Black and White ASOS Curve Set
When I saw this set, I had to have it. I made it a Gotta Have It and knew that I had to have the whole thing and had to wear it immediately. My Black and White Knit ASOS Curve Set. I have a weird obsession with black and white…
