SonsiFFFWeek "Curves in the City"

Friday I attended the Sonsi FFFWeek “Curves in the City” shopping event with my darling mother. Seeing that I am a petite plus-size female I thought this would be a great chance to check out the new full figured fashions out there, and being able to see the various designers getting my name out there as a new blogger and fashion writer on the scene. This event surely did not disappoint hosted at the (Affinia Hotel) on 7^th avenue and 31^st street, I walked into a sea of vendors, clothing, and jewelry it was as if I died and went to big girl fashion heaven. Shopping at vendors such as (Queen Grace, Empress Lingerie, Pop Up Plus NY, and Ose Vintage); I found a lot of great finds with fabulous prices that won’t break the bank. As I made my way around the room I talked to each designer, networking and inquiring about future internships everyone was so nice and welcoming some even taking my picture adoring my style, but out of everyone the one vendor that stuck out the most was Ose [ushseh] who is geared towards vintage full-figured fashions. Anyone who knows me knows I have a vintage fashion fetish, as I began speaking to her she told me she is a graduate of LIM College of where I currently attend as a Fashion Merchandising student it seemed to be faith that led me to her. Did I mention she is also looking for an intern for the fall how lucky was I taking a few pictures of her she was so warm and friendly not to forget fashionable in her vintage teal jumpsuit. I had a great time and can’t wait for what other surprises the summer has in store. If you want to purchase any of these items or check out these designers I will leave their websites and names at the bottom.
