OUT with the OLD....... IN with the NEW

     Arden's Closet Sip and Swap just held their 3rd event this past Sunday. It was my second time attending as a participant and my first time as a business owner. Live Lavish Access donated Naya as a door prize to go along with the other donations from other businesses.... The idea of the event is to give women who are curvy and full figured a new way to value there old clothes. Everyone brings gently used clothing, shoes, and jewelry to put into the "closet." Once the "closet" is filled the women go in groups to the closet to pick out clothing. Then we all show what goodies we have claimed. Along side these wonderful treasures there are tasty treats, deserts, and drinks...
     This time I actually won one of the gifts, a make up session from the amazingly talented Patrice Story. It is so crazy because I have been admiring her work since FFFWEEK and I have been wanting to have a session with her so the fact that I won one is absolutely WONDERFUL. :)So yea, the prizes are awesome and the clothing selections are just as awesome.
     This time I walked away with a peach halter dress and a tan and gold jumpsuit(GORG!!!). The items I left were dresses, one was floral with an elastic waist and the other was a pink halter..... it was one of my FAVORITE dresses.... sigh.... the beautiful Telethia Penn got it so I know it will be WELL taken care of.... The event also encourages networking, so if you have a business or are looking to meet fellow business owners this is a great place to do it.

     Some of the businesses who participated:
Of course Live Lavish Access (accessories and unique pieces of jewelry)
Alia Jahnae Boutique (responsible for the ReThickulous Movement)
Inspire Girl (a company that promotes healthy living by educating women on health and fitness) Lavender's Jungle (a line of beautiful clothing for full figured women)
and of course Patrice Story MUA (her talent is truly wonderful)

     The event happens every 3 months here in the Atlanta area so I look forward to another swap sometime in November.... See you there ladies!!!

Swim Thick with Francie Maupin

Francie Maupin has been sketching fashions since her preteen years so it was only a matter of time before she put together a line of her own. She introduces The Diva Kurves Collection by premiering, Swim Thick, a line of swimsuits geared toward curvy women. In a market where the bar for plus sized swimwear has been dramatically raised by Monif C, Nakki Muli, and Cacique, Swim Thick is pushing its way into the mix to make sure all the curvy ladies are covered, literally. Swim Thick will cover standard sizes but will also offer options for ladies with bottom heavy proportions so that they will be able to find swimsuits that fit their curves just right. The extra focus on the ladies with extra curves definitely sets Swim Thick apart from other plus size swimwear. We dig in deeper about Miss Maupin and the release of Swim Thick: How did you start? What triggered you to start a swim line? It seemed like every time I would enter a store or boutique and ask, "where are the plus...

#LiveFashion with Stylist Jackie Turner

Fashion is built on foundation. In order to look good from the outside you have to start solid. Words of gold from Jackie Turner, an aspiring stylist out of Atlanta, fashion is her life... Turner is on a mission to become a personal stylist. Her goal is to help women who struggle with self esteem by showing them how to accent their true selves through fashion. Turner believes that when women are able to see themselves in a mirror how they see themselves in their heads, the positive visions, they can begin to accept and express who they are freely. Turner has had to over come obstacles in her own life and so her theories are from experience. Bullying and mean girls had been part of her every day struggle until she realized that she had a voice. Once she started to realize that she was in control of who she was and that she did not have to be what they told her she began to form her own personal style. Soon other people n...
