Melissa McCarthy Seven7 Launch
I don’t think it’s any surprise that I’m a Melissa McCarthy fan. She’s hilarious, beautiful, intelligent and now the name behind the newest plus size line.
, a clothing collection inspired by the life and travel of the funny lady herself, launched in Canada, exclusively at
, this past Sunday.
The event was largely blogger driven, with a meet and greet with myself and the other ladies involved. Seven7 was showcased on a few very special bodies. Penningtons enlisted Chastity (
), Chant
é (
), Sarah Rae (
) and my sister from another mister, Jessica (
Life and Style of Jessica Kane
) from the U.S. Fear not though, Assa (
), Sasha and Garcia (
), Karen (
) and Jessica (
) were representing the Canadian bloggers. And to top it off, the event was hosted by one of my favourite stylists, Erica Wark!
Not only was it great to meet and catch up with all my blogger babes, both modeling and mingling, but I also got to shop the collection! I would be lying if I said I hadn’t creeped the collection online and in all the press information I had received. I was on a mission to collect up the wears I had been coveting. I did try on a fair amount of the pieces and have to say that overall I am very happy with the collection. The fit is very tailored and structured with amazing stretch. The pants are a dream! I fell in love with the burgundy jeans, which fit better than any jean I’ve ever put on from the rack (I usually have to peg my skinny jeans). I’m also really into the manufacturing and attention to detail that went into the construction of the line. And a great feature is that a lot of the pieces are reversible which gives a lot of versatility.
With my girl, Jessica Kane.
The collection is available at Penningtons and
. It’s a little bit of a higher price point than the core offerings from the plus size retailer, but considering the construction, fabrications and the versatility, I think it’s totally worth checking out. And the sizes run from 1X-3X in tops, with bottoms ranging from 14 to 28! I obviously snapped up some goodies, but you’ll have to keep your eye on the blog for an upcoming post to see what I got!
