The 2015 TCFStyle Expo Recap and Video!

OMG, can you believe that it has almost been a week since we did our very first TCFStyle Expo? I know right? Who would have thought an idea hatched over dinner at the Yardhouse would turn into a packed house of plus size fashion lovers and shoppers! Today, I wanted to share with you our recap, video, and thank those who made this happen! Are you ready?

For starters, there was a dope team that helped me get this off the ground! Thanks to my cousin Kristin, Brandi, Nikki, Maui, Porsha, Pepper, and Rhonda we set things off at Ambient Plus Studios in Atlanta!

Hosted by Chenese Lewis, she kept the event on point! A special thank you to the models who were both live models and who walked for our presenting sponsor, Ashley Stewart! I have to say that Ashley Stewart has been such an amazing partner with helping this event get some steam! Coming in as our Presenting Sponsor allowed for us to really have a jamming event, chock full of activations, food, shopping, and fun!

For the event, I rocked out with two looks from Ashley Stewart that have not gone live on the site yet! Woot!

Bu they were not the only sponsors who made this work! Take a peek at our video by the hella dope Leon Milette who turned this video around hecka fast!

Lane Bryant came in as a top Gold Sponsor, showing out at their booth with raffles, hooking up the attendees with a few goodies, and rocking their I’m No Angel Tees!

In addition to them, we had Monif C, Jibri, RebDolls, Eleven 60, Curv Bella, Sydney’s Closet, DeVoe Signature Events whose support helped make this possible!

Let’s not forget the fabulous ladies from TLC’s Curvy Brides, Yukia and Yunesia from Curvaceous Couture Bridal Boutique who did a plus size bridal sample sale! We had a few early birds who were lined up for this with family and friends to help them here!

We had passed food thanks to Food Network’s Star, Chef Tregaye! After catering our blogger brunch, we hooked up the guests with all kinds of goodies to snack on throughout the day!

But on top of all of this, we had Magnolia Beauty from Louisiana, who hooked up the guests with makeup applications; Atlanta locals, Ultraviolet Nail Lounge and Honey Bee Skin Bar who gave polish changes and facials to the guests! It was all about the TCF Beauty Lounge!

Not to be missed was the fab sounds by DJ Fadelf who kept us grooving throughout the day! Thanks to the talents of Khalil from Red Carpet Express, we had a dope photo booth and step and repeat!
