I have arrived in NYC and we are ready for Full Figured Fashion Week! We celebrated with the Sunset (White) Cruise. I was so excited to meet so many amazing women I've known for so long via internet! The cruise was AHAMZING - like really - great food (yum! I ate pasta! LOL), good company, good views, good music - all around such a great experience. Perfection really...even got my dance on ;).

So here's my photo diary from yesterday! Have so much going on today - meetings, parties, workshops OH MY!  PS - love my dress and shoes? Get them on my special style page at Torrid! http://www.torrid.com/torrid/Collections/JessicaKanesNYFFFWPicks.jsp
