WELCOME TO HONEYSUCKLE HILL

I received a call from one of my customers on New Year’s Eve asking if I had any knowledge of a new plus size boutique in town (Albany, Georgia), my answer was “nope.”  She and I both were thinking the same thing, surely if there was a new plus size boutique in town I would know.  Wrong!!!!!  Yes, Albany does have a new plus size boutique and its name is Honeysuckle Hill. 

After speaking with the owner Amanda Bennett, I decided to take a trip to Honeysuckle Hill.  I must admit, I was very pleased.  The decor was amazing and so were the clothes.  I really applaud Amanda for stepping out of the box because honestly most plus size boutiques have the same inventory.  I tried on three pieces, which were pretty true to size, which is rare with plus size clothing you find in most boutiques. 

 

Overall I give Honeysuckle Hill an A+!!! The clothing, the atmosphere and the owner were all grade A.  For all of you curvy divas in and around Albany, Georgia, who dare to be different and want to add some class to your curves; check out Honeysuckle Hill 2345 Dawson Road suite B.  Like Honeysuckle Hill on Facebook by clicking the following link  www.facebook.com/honeysucklehillboutique  #PHATGIRLFRESH

SPOKEN CURVES!!

Be it songs or poetry, vocal art moves me in a major way.  I can give countless accounts of hearing songs in church that moved me to tears, even when the word of the pastor didn't.  I just love the emotion and expression that comes with singing and spoken word.  That is why, I can honestly say that I am already a huge fan of the certified Phat Girl; Grande.  I recently met her in Columbus at the Rock and Roses hair and fashion show.  Before I had the chance to witness her gifts, I was pulled in by her amazing personality.  However, when she took the stage; I was just like “those wolves”, I cried “GRANDE’!” To continue reading this article, pictures and video click the link http://www.phatgirlfresh.com/#!fresh-life/cute

HOUSE OF CURVES

“The peplum is the perfect piece for a woman with a bottom stomach………” stated Kenyatta.  This phrase alone allowed me to give WEtv’s House of Curves my stamp of approval.  The show spotlights the life of Kenyatta Jones as a designer on an expedition to make her brand Bella Rene’ a household name.  Yeah I know we have seen this show concept a couple of times but never from this angle.  Bella Rene’ is a brand that caters to woman who are curvy, plus size, full figured or whatever we choose to call ourselves.  To read this entire blog, click the link  below http://www.phatgirlfresh.com/#!fresh-life/cute

MONIF C

Spring has sprung in spite of the weather that we are experiencing across the globe.  It is time to start packing up those sweaters and pulling out short sleeve tops.  It is time for spring break vacations, walks on the beach and pool/day parties.  None of this will be complete without a swim suit of some kind.  Now I know from my own personal actions that this is the time when some curvy cuties either stay home, avoid certain events or pull out the shorts and the long tee shirt(bogus swim suit substitutes).  Well, not this year.... that is what I am declaring right here right now! There is no reason for us to avoid swim suits when there is one for you and your figure. 

Famous full figured designer Monif C recently released her swim suit line.  When I tell you she went there, home girl went there!  She is always making it easy for us to fluent our curves and be P.H.A.T GIRL FRESH by making clothing that compliments our assets and hide our problem areas.  These swim suit are no different, there is something for every woman with curves.  There are full suit with extra control.  There are suit with peek-a-boo areas.  There are long sleeve pieces.  There are even mix and match separates, that include high waist bottoms with control tops.  All of the material is durable and form fitting to bring it all in, so you look extra sexy.  The colors are all fun,vibrant and can double as regular tops(in my opinion).  So please check out the swim suit line and throw those shorts in the trash!!!!  http://monifc.com/swimwear.html
