Full Figured Fashion Week Day 2 - Blogging 101 Panel and Curves, Connections, and Cocktails Event

Hey All!

So day two of Full Figured Fashion Week started off with us attending a fabulous session moderated by The Curvy Fashionista's Marie Denee. Basically the panel was all about how to grow your brand using social media. The panelists included Marina Zelner, owner of Queen Grace Collection, Alissa Wilson from the blog Stylish Curves, and Madeline Figueroa Jones, Editor in Chief of Plus Model Mag. The panel outlined the dos-and-don'ts of interaction in an increasingly active online world, including blogging in general, but also micro-blogging on sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

It was great to get together afterwards with some of the fashion front to take pictures. Stefanie Bezaire was really generous and sponsored me with clothes for the event. I wore my favourite pieces, her jacket and skirt, to the blogging panel. I was so happy I could bring a bit of home with me to NYC, since Stef is a Toronto plus size fashion designer. I absolutely adore her clothes, so I was really happy when she gave me a bag full of goodies for FFFWeek! The pieces are all such amazing quality, which is so hard to find in plus sizes. You should all definitely check her out.

After that we all went back to our hotels (or Jess' hotel for me) to get changed and get ready for the Curves, Connections, and Cocktails networking event. Although it was a bit to loud to network, there was lots of lovely fashion and some good music.
