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…
