Friday night I was invited out to the “Magnum Livin Large Project“. When I got the invite I was thinking how will they do this event about condoms? Well, when Pia and I arrived, I must say the event was pinktastic in a goldish kinda way lol.

Eudoxie and Ludacris, cute!

Luda was joking on stage when receiving his award, saying that he was happy to receive it because he was a great “supporter” of the Magnum condoms lol. I also had the pleasure of riding on the elevator with Ludacris and his girlfriend Eudoxie and I was telling her I took french for 6years and can’t remember a thing lol. She speaks fluent french and she was going over some words with me, I laughed but understood some things she was saying. I also asked Ludacris when was he going to shoot his next video. He said he shoots them all the time and does some of them here in Atlanta. I told him to consider putting me in one and he said, “no doubt!” Ok Luda, I’m going to hold yah to it! lol.

When Pia and I pranced our way into the store we were mesmerized with all the excitement going on inside this blue and yellow decorated store. Lots of fashionistas were dressed to the nines in their funky attire. I felt so old and out of place because the fashions were pretty edgy and fast forward!

I was introduced to Jason Scott the owner of the boutique and I started firing off questions to him. I asked him how he got started in fashion and he said was a freshman at AIU and his major is fashion design. He is 26 years old and also a hairstylist gone boutique owner. I loved his energy and you can tell he was very passionate about his craft!

Jason with his aunties,awh!

He told me his fav colors are blue and yellow and that he will carry larger sizes for us, “curvier” chicas that want to stay stylish too!  I asked Jason to give some words of wisdom for newbies who want to open a boutique and his advice was to:

  1. Do you research
  2. Find your immediate people
  3. Find out what people like to wear
  4. Look and see whats in stores

Jason plans on opening more boutiques and wants to launch a men’s boutique soon. He said that guys can be a bit tricky because men are harder to buy for. I loved his boutique, the Pinktasic shoes, bites and ofcourse the cupcakes..yum! Wine was poured and the beats were hott! Enjoy the pics and good luck to Jason and his staff! Thanks to Necole Garner for the personal invite!

Boutique owner, Wendy Brown

Ok my curvy girls! There is a hott new store that just opened called, Plush Boutique that’s  in the Castelberry Hill area of Atlanta. I had a chance to check it out today and it was Purplicious! Wendy Brown is the owner of this hip boutique that caters to women that are size 12-24. When you walk into the store you have no idea that all the things in there are for us curvy girls, because of how chic and upbeat it looks. Those days of looking for your size in the back of the store are over girlies, now Wendy has made it haute to be fabulous and curvy.

I had a chance to sit down and chat with Ms.Wendy and she told me she owned a mortgage company before she opened her doors March 30th,2010. She said it was just a perfect fit for her. She wanted women to experience luxury when they walked in the door. She wanted curvy girls to feel special too.
