Jeremy ScottandMoschinogo together like milk
and cereal, which has been prove by his first collection as
creative director for the young and hip
Italian brand. Both Jeremy and Moschino are notorious for their cheekiness with
a double order of loud.
The pre-fall 2014 collection is a
success. Iconic leather pieces were transformed into bags, letterman jackets
were extended to dresses, and where a logo could go, it did go. The line is
HAUTE SH#T and I can only imagine what the entire line is going to look
like. #PHATGIRLFRESH
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 decorwas 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
Its official, Barneys launched its "A
New York Holiday" collection with Jay Z. Never mind the discrimination
suit, that didn’t stop this luxury retailer and your favorite rapper’s favorite
rapper collabo from happening. While
Barneys is accusing the NYPD for its racial profiling woes and Jay
Z is attempting to redirect focus (and money) to his Shawn Carter Scholarship
Foundation, the whole world now has the opportunity to partake in all the hoopla
by purchasing ridiculously priced items that no one in their right mind
actually would purchase. Anyone in need
of cotton t-shirt with a few patches of leather for $995, should call me…….. I
can hook you up!!!! Or maybe you've just been dying to get your nuts into a
pair of leather boxing shorts, embroidered with gold stars for a cool $2,590.
Let's not forget those $675 plastic sunglasses you can't live without. And no
wardrobe is complete without a $58,000 crocodile jacket by Rick Owens. Right?............................(waiting
for an answer)
You know I love me some Jigga but this
is just RIDICULIOUS!!! BUT HAPPY SHOPPING, RICHIE RICH.To see photos of the entire line, click the link http://www.phatgirlfresh.com/#!celebrity-news/c6lh #PHATGIRLFRESH
Sherrie Walters-Aaron and the Cover Me Gorgeous team hosted
a hair and fashion show in Columbus Georgia on Sunday, November 17, 2013. I must admit, I was not sure what to expect
because I have attended quit a few shows and some of them were garbage. Maybe garbage is too harsh of a word but it
is exactly what I mean. LOL!!!!!!
When I arrived at the venue, the setup was great!!! Things looked very nice and classy. The V.I.P area was actually a nice exclusive
setup with labeled tables and gift bags.
The runway was long and elevated so that the general admission audience
was able to enjoy the show as well. The
vendors were aligned so that as you entered you had to pass them which is
extremely important. Another plus was
that the show actually started on time, which is very rare.
Although I think that the host (rapper Rasheeda) and her co
host could have done a better job of keeping the momentum going, the D.J was
the bomb.com. I don’t know if he was
given a playlist but he kept the energy high.
Whoever was in charge of the show’s
order did a good job of spacing things so that the experience was enjoyable. The fashions were okay, but I must admit I expected
a little more from Columbus. What I
loved most was the performance by songbird Tocarra and the Cover Me Gorgeous
Curves segment. Before the scene was
introduced, poet Grande blessed the crowd with a poem that celebrated the
beauty of PHAT GIRLS. I LOVED
IT!!!!! This is something I have been
trying to incorporate into a show for the longest time. From the time Grande walked off the stage the
energy was high and I was pleased to see one of the Faces of Fresh, Erica Elise
WERKING!!!!
During her closing remarks, I recall Sherrie saying that
this was her first event. That was a
surprise to me because she did something that a lot of fashion show vets can’t
do. She put on a successful show without
incident and it was standing room only.
She also announced that she will be having another event in April. I am excited because I think that I am going
to inquire about having PHAT GIRL FRESH be a part of the event. HATS OFF TO SHERRIE WALTERS-AARON, YOU
ROCKED!!!!! TO VIEW MORE PHOTOS FROM THE EVENT CLICK THE LINK BELOW

One fashion trend that has trasitioned into fall is the monochrome look. This look consist of a black and white color scheme, some times accessorized with a hint of gold. It has been hot on the runways this year, in the shows of several big name design houses. Most of the monochrome shown on the runway includes patterns. However, feel free to add your own little spin to it. Below you will if are examples of the monochrome looks, one which is my interruption.
It
is officially Phat Girl Friday, and I have been waiting to feature this diva.
I love seeing women grind hard and beat the odds. As a phat girl, I
know that society has a can’t do list longer than Santa Claus’s naughty or nice
list; just for us. We are expected to live in silence that is why I salutethose of us who aren't
afraid to live out loud. Essie Golden is one of those women!! TO READ MORE AND VIEW PHOTOS CLICK THE LINK BELOW
“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
With over 25 years in the fashion design game along with an A list of satisfied customers that include men and women from all walks of life. Celebrity designer, Dia Bocage is at the top of this fashion industry. Many times people use their celebrity status, as to who they know or what they have done to help fuel their ego. However, Auntie Dia (a nickname given to her) is one of the most pleasant, humble, and down to earth people I have ever met. Before she and I ever had a conversation, I had gotten the word from several sources that in fact she was a very nice person. From the moment that I made contact with her, I was able to get the same vibe that everyone else had got; she is an absolute amazing person, who's talent is out matched by her character.

Everyone knows that I love fashion. However, I haven't been able to say that I was in love with an entire line of clothing, until now. Jibri's spring collection is to die for!! It is filled with beautiful colors, floral patterns and trendy designs. The entire line is fun, flirty and most of all, curve friendly. You may not be able to say each piece is for your particular body type but some where within this collection there is something that will appeal to your curves. Some of the pieces were featured on B.E.T's Rip The Runway, and they did just that..... RIPPED IT!!! I am I love with the green slouch pants, they have to be a part of my wardrobe for Full Figured Fashion Week. Initially when I saw those pants, I told my boyfriend, "baby, I must have been dead cause these pants just gave me life!!!" However, he was quick to point out that they were expensive and I quickly reminded him about his Jordan collection. Any way ladies, be sure and take a peep.......... http://www.jibrionline.com/live/
