PRETTY PRETTY PICTURES FINALLY HERE! Party Edition:

Hilary: Attached is a photo of my husband and I at a wedding a few weeks ago. There is something about getting dressed up - since you don’t do it all that often - that makes you feel beautiful and elegant. This dress I am wearing reminds me of the ocean, and always makes me feel pretty and glamorous.

Annissa: This is me on the beach while camping. It was a moment of happiness and confidence and for some reason I wanted to be vain and take a photo of myself. Not just any part of myself, but the dreaded lower half. You know, the part of the body that strikes fear deep into my fat girl soul. And from below! I ended up really liking this photo, mostly because it’s breaking all the rules. There’s something empowering about being a headless fatty sometimes and there’s something very beautiful about how off-kilter and unkempt I look.

Renae: I’m on the right in this picture. It makes me happy whenever I stumble upon it because it reminds me of a great night at my friends party, she is on the left. All my friends were there and we were all dressed up and smiling the whole night. Plus, I love that dress.

Ashley: Even though most of my face is cut off it really shows a time where I am completely myself. It’s just me and my best friend being totally ourselves together and giggling over the dumbest thing while drinking wine that came from a box. Every time I look at this picture I remember how happy I was in that moment and how happy my best friend makes me and I can’t wait till she comes home (from Europe where she has been living for the past few years). I don’t care that I have multiple chins or that she is making a weird face—this picture to me is perfection!

Annie: Though blurry, this was a candid from a shoot about a month after I moved out of an unhealthy relationship, back in with my family. Struggling to see myself as I really was, and this was my first glance :) Finally started to believe I was beautiful, that I was worth more than what other led me to believe. I feel more confident and more in my skin as each day passes. but this was the start, a fun photo shoot with good friends.

You are all beautiful! <3 Thank you so much for your pretty pretty pictures!! :D Have an awesome hump day! :}

Exploring the Woods, and Myself

My boyfriend and I went walking in a park this week. I was really cranky after class, so this walk really helped calm me down. But I have been thinking more about my blog. I started my blog by the name of the “Curvy Peacock” I still love that name, but then I got the name “Curvy Couture”! Which is what most of you know me by- The rest of you know me as “The Curvy Model”. Nevertheless, I am Mandy. :) Sorry I change my blog name so much, I just can’t decide what I want. If you have been following me for a while, you know how indecisive I am… haha

The more I think about my blog the more I realize: THIS BLOG IS FOR ME! This blog defines me as a person, in a sense. Of course I care so, soooo much about all of my amazing followers. But my problem is all I think about is what I can post to make you all happy! It stresses me out! So I will continue to do inspiration photos and fun stuff like that, but I will be doing more outfit photos. Just things that fancy me. :) I love pictures, so expect more pictures like these!! :)

Hopefully I can find a medium to please all of you too! You guys are the reason my blog has readers/followers. I could write a novel on how much I love you guys. The e-mails that make me tear up, the replies, and the amount of ppl who visit my blog! You all ROCK my socks off.

My boyfriend has become my photographer for outfit posts, and we are using my camera. :) I feel bad that I am so picky, I make him take so many pics. But his eye is so different than mine. Which makes it interesting.

I thought he deserved a little something after helping me take outfit photos. :}

Top- (really a dress, but I’m too tall) ModCloth!

Have a lovely weekend my dears!

Like the photos??

Awww what a cutie!

Awww what a cutie!

So, Kevin and I had a date night! We ate tons of Thai food, and walked around a park in the North Side! It was very cute and romantic, also it was after work so that’s what kept me going all day.

Last week I binged on Thai food, probably 4 meals…

This week I need to save money, take all of my finals, move out and into another apartment! AHHHH

Today is “Super Saturday”! Which is a big day at our school, basically consists of drinking, socializing, and drinking some more. I am going to carry around a bottle of white wine, because I don’t feel like drinking beer tonight… One bottle of wine seems to suffice, without me getting too bad. I might post a picture of me and my wine bottle later, yes I drink out of the bottle! :}

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! See you tomorrow!

Blah is all I have to say about today.
My friends were all very supportive of my decisions, which was really realllllly helpful. I also talked to him a lot, which makes me feel so much better too. WE ARE NOT BREAKING UP. I have no intention on ever ending it with this boy, he is amazing.
I am just not able to give myself completely to him right now, and I want to get there so bad! He deserves nothing less. IT IS SO HARD not to run back to him now and say I am sorry for putting him through this. But I already did put him through it, now I have to make it all worth it.
I have never done anything like this before in my life, it&#8217;s really weird. I feel like once I get over the shock maybe I will feel better and learn something. But right now I just want him back, I keep having flash backs of all the amazing times we have had. I know this is a good thing, and years from now (after our happily ever after) I will not regret doing it. I just have to push through it.
HELP?

Decisions

I decided to take a break with the boyfriend of two years… Why you may ask? Because I enjoy making myself miserable.

While this is 100% true, I am also SCARED to death about how much I need him. I am so used to being this independent girl, one who only had to worry about herself. He is turning me into this person who is madly in love, depending on him to save the day. He always saves the day, I always let him. I almost started crying the other day because he pays for everything, and I couldn’t afford to buy him dinner. I don’t cry in front of ppl often, so that is saying a lot.

I don’t even give a shit about how much it hurts me, what makes me cry is how mad he is at me. Not mad really, but sad/disappointed. I let him down, I hurt him. For that I will never truly be forgiven.

wow… what is my problem?

I am thankful for so much.

My Family

My boyfriend

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

I sort of wish there was an easier way for me to respond to all of your responses to my questions, I don’t feel as though I am personal enough with you all!

What are you thankful for?
