An Amazing day in May

So last tuesday my husband's work place needed help, they had fired 2 workers 2 days in a row and my husband couldn't do it all by himself, and since i worked there last december I knew the store and how it worked so I offered to fill in for a day while they interview people. before hand we took the bus into town an hour early, and we hung out at a new local coffee house. Had an amazing panini, then decided to take some pics and have a few laughs.
I've been down for quite awhile because of my weight gain and since i don't get out much lately (if you wanna know why read my bio) I haven't had much reason to get dressed, which when you look in a mirror with PJ's on, no make-up while having weight problems everyday, don't really make you feel presentable EVER. So you can understand that this day I really needed, I may still not be able to fit in to all the clothes I want to perfectly, but I felt great and beautiful :)
the day as a whole was a blessing, I had a couple great future opportunities handed to me, that I really hope pan out (not going to spill about them yet incase they don't) talked to some great people while working, had a good time with my husband, helped out Michelle (the groomer) with her 2 week old baby kitten, and after we hit up McDonald's, and saw the avengers, didn't get home till 11 pm.
I gotta say, amazing day ended with an amazing movie = amazing day. 
Only down side was the fact that my feet hurt so much I had a hard time walking.
Hopefully we will get the car fixed soon so we will have more days like this day.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then of Course there is Egypt, Ireland, Scotland, England, France, maybe Japan, and many more places. I won't grace you all with pictures because to tell you the truth, this article is getting really long and I can't seem to find a way to cluster the pictures.

Other Great Places I Would Love to Visit - Hotels and info I got from yahoo :p

Peckforton Castle
Cheshire, UK


Film geeks will get a kick out of staying at a castle where several film and TV shows were shot, includingRobin Hood, starring Patrick Bergin and Uma Thurman. The medieval-style castle was built in the mid-19th century, was turned into a hotel in 1988, and now has 48 individual guest rooms. On the castle grounds, try your hand at falconry, archery, rappelling, and ropes courses.


Shangri-La Hotel, Paris, France
Room with the View: La Suite Shangri-La

There's something undeniably alluring about Paris: Credit the city's charming streets and cafés, if you would like, but don't neglect its dazzling scenery. From day to night, you can admire magnificent views of the Eiffel Tower, the Seine River, and the Grand Palais in La Suite Shangri-La. This seventh-floor suite exudes an air of indulgence, with regal blue, gold, and cream hues, natural wood floors, a private terrace, a decadent shower and Jacuzzi, and unparalleled panoramic views of the City of Lights. And if this 2,938-square-foot deluxe suite isn't quite spacious enough, you can always connect to the adjacent 5,382 square-foot apartment.


The Fairmont San Francisco, San Francisco, CA
Room with the View: Penthouse Suite

Perched above San Francisco's prestigious Nob Hill neighborhood, The Fairmont San Francisco Penthouse Suite offers some of the most spectacular (if not the most spectacular) city vistas. From this 6,000 square-foot retreat, you'll have 360-degree views of the San Francisco skyline and the bay. And as you admire the breathtaking vistas, you can pamper yourself in one of the room's luxurious marble baths or cozy up at the living room fireplace. The Penthouse Suite boasts three spacious bedrooms, four bathrooms, an airy living area, a dining room, library, billiard room, and a private outdoor terrace. The only enticing reason to step outside your private suite might be to experience the delectable culinary creations from the world-renowned chefs who have flocked to this Fairmont branch. But with a room that accommodates 100 guests, why not bring the meal back to your private paradise?


Le Sirenuse, Positano, Italy
Room with the View: Deluxe Sea View Room

Le Sirenuse—a charming hotel in the heart of the Italian village, Positano—lies tucked away in the Amalfi Coast's towering cliffs. From the luxuriant outdoor balcony of the Le Sirenuse Deluxe Sea View Room (sitting about 70 meters above the water), you'll admire unrivaled views of the Mediterranean and the surrounding pastel-washed villas. Complete with hand-crafted marble tiles, a whirlpool bath tub, lavish Italian linens, and Eau d'Italie bath products, this charming retreat has just about everything you could hope for in an Italian escape, down to its stunning vistas from nearly every angle.

ASOS Find and Review

So as I browse through Pose, as I usually do, I've seen a lot of people wearing items from ASOS. I had never heard of it and decided to look it up and check it out since a lot of the things tagged looked nice.
I checked out the site and I liked it, yea they had a lot of pricey things, but I found some pretty adorable stuff. I wish I had the money to splurge on some of the stuff.
The site itself reminds me a little of American apparel/Urban outfitters and Forever 21, clean and simple. while also having some Urban, floral and lace patterns. Unlike a lot of stores, their sale items aren't just the crap they couldn't sell.
and while a lot of the items are a bit pricey, they do seem to be of good quality and make.
Also! There is a marketplace tab, where you can buy or sell used and/or vintage Clothing and accessories. A very unique and fresh section to see on a fashion sale site. I have seen it on a few other sites like ModCloth. But I like how this one works and flows better.
If you like vintage/used items, its at least worth checking out!

here are some of my finds from the regular site -




BTW yes they are finds for curvy women, I usually only look at things I might look good in, otherwise when you find something that only skinny women look good in and ya love it....kinda ruins your day :\
So yes there are clothes for all types of women, oh and don't forget shoes, purses and other accessories.

Here is a ink so you can check it out yourselves!
