Tierra Sedgemore Size Sexy

Last year, I had the good fortune to have met Miss Tierra Sedgemore, the delightful woman behind the brand Size Sexy – click here to for that story 🙂

Early this May, Tierra hosted a fantastic evening of entertainment and curvy fashion entitled: Get Your Sexy On at The Uptown Lofts in Toronto.

SSSHOWWEB-101 — CAUGHT ON CAMERA!!! I just arrived at the venue (donning my uber short haircut out-out for the first time). Here I’m getting the inside scoop on how the event was gonna unfold. Chatting with the dynamic duo – Tierra & her hubs

These events are always a great opportunity to catchup with the lovelies of the plus-sized communities in the city. As well as seeing all the gorgeous fashion-forward creations of independent designers up close and personally.

Take a look at who I bumped into that night:

Me among the glamazons like the gorgeous Sarah Taylor, Miss Plus Canada 2014/2015 & Plus Size Model

SSSHOWWEB-147 — It’s me … sandwiched in-between the blush laced & turbaned Karen Ward, owner of *Your Big Sister’s Closet* AND the maxi-bolero wearing Stefanie Augusteijn, owner *SexyPlus Clothing*. Aren’t they just dazzling! ❤

Me with the sweetie behind the camera, Rebecca Northcott (a la iPhone selfie)

Miss Carmen of CNLDesigns — click here to revisit what this sewing genius created for ME last year 😉 (taken with my iPhone)

Me with THE hostest-with-the-mostest, Miss Tierra …. Seems I didn’t a gift bag upon arrival, hence my kissy/poutty-face on the left. LOL!

Good thing I made that poutty-face, or I’d have missed out on these lovely bracelets 😉 “Thank-For-Coming” gifts created by Maryanne of MyBeadedDesigns, click here for more on her.

OK! Back to the event!!!

Along side a team of professionals, friends and supporters, Tierra’s show presented a designer (MiniMaxiMidi), a boutique (SexyPlus) and her new line of SizeSexy Clothing.

People who truly encourage and support the endeavours of bloggers within the plus size community, who operate with the true spirit of collaboration.

We were lucky to have the creative, photographic talents of Rebecca Northcott, Rebecca Northcott Photography on hand to capture all the moments of the event. I’ve peppered my blogpost with a few of my favourites 🙂

SEXYPLUSPREVIEWF14-37 — Lovely handmade one of a kind jewellery from My Beaded Designs

Naturally, I HAD to try on a few items of course…. any of these strike YOUR fancy for Fall friends? Special shoutouts to go the lovely shop-girls, McKina and Sabrina who were uber attentive and helpful, providing honest opinions and encouragement once you’re ready to emerge from the change rooms.

SEXYPLUSPREVIEWF14-85 — I LOVED this Joseph Ribkoff jacket … as you can tell by the way I stepped out of the change room 🙂

SEXYPLUSPREVIEWF14-86 — Fall fashions from Joseph Ribkoff

SEXYPLUSPREVIEWF14-82 — I really loved this top….made in Canada by Artex

SEXYPLUSPREVIEWF14-63 — This gorgeous Joseph Ribkoff black n’ leather fit me more like a dress than it did a jacket … ah yes, the pleasures of being petite.

Overall, it was a fantastic night. Or in the words of Miss Stefanie:

It was a girl-power-curvy-positive-collaborative-fashion-princess-empowering-sizesexy kind of night.

SEXYPLUSPREVIEWF14-157 — Too funny…..us being drama queens … *“It’s Too Hot!”*

So … the big question – what did I go home with? 🙂

1. A gorgeous statement necklace by Victorious Me, a Toronto-based retailer

2. A long slit dress, custom made for SexyPlus Clothing by Ralph C also made in Canada – $99…reduced to $25!!!! Crazytown score – hooray for me!

3. The newsprint dress: made in Canada by Artex, called the Jax dress, new Fall arrival priced at $89 — a steal and a half!!!

I even got my very own MEME out of the night … words to live by, I think 😉
