House of Cramel

I was in the West Village area in Smryna and while I noticed Plush Boutique was now closed I also noticed a new comer to the area. The "Plus Size" sign in the window is what got my attention. So I took a little visit for my Boutique Freaks! This boutique is called Heavy Chevy & Lucy Lou's (reminds you a the title of a Big Boi album right?) As I walked in the first thing that I noticed were all the colors everywhere. There was a variety of everything from what I can remember. What caught me off guard was the lack of interest by the salesperson that someone had just walked in. I looked around at clothes and the very attractive boutique and tried to figure out how everything was organized...but I couldn't. I didn't know if these clothes came from previous owners, whether it was a special vintage shop, so I just asked. I asked the young stylish fellow if this was a vintage boutique and he said no, but the owner does sell vintage. He didn't volunteer any other information, but I did ask him if the owner was here and he informed me she was not.

I took this really nice flyer with me with the hopes of being able to find out more information on this new boutique, but after a couple of attempts at trying to visit, I kept being led to some other site that had nothing to do with the store. They do have a facebook page, but at this time it isn't that informative. I'm not going to rate this boutique because everything seems to still be in infancy. I do plan to go back and I will give you guys an updated posts. What I will tell you is that there is a wide variety of clothing there for men and women, and they also have plus size clothing avaiblable (for my thicker than a snicker chicks lol, love you guys muah!) In the mean time you an visit Heavy Chevy & Lucy Lou's for yourselves at 4500 West Village Place, suite 4015, Smyrna, GA 30080, same area as Kandi's TAGS boutique. Tell me what you think!

Hello Boutique Freaks! Today I'll be telling you about my experiences at TAGS, Co-Owned by Real Atlanta Housewife Kandi Buress. Yes I said experiences, I've been about 3 or 4 times. Each time after my first time I brought someone else (that wasn't my sister) back with me.That in itself says alot. Tags offers some really great selections. One other thing I really like about Tags is that there is a great selection of men's clothing and I'm not talking a little corner of the store selection. I'm talking one entire side of the store is dedicated to menswear. Great right?

When you set foot in Tags you will more than likely see Peaches. She's also Co-Owner of Tags Boutique. On the weekends you may even see her daughters (I assume those were her daughters) helping out. On my visits to Tags I've never seen Kandi but that not to say she's never there. I've certainly seen Kandi around other parts of the city (we went to see Precious at Midtown together, she doesn't know that though because I was sitting with my friends and she was sitting with her friends lol) so I'm sure she's frequents the store. I'm not sure if she still does this, but according to an episode of Atlanta Housewives she'd began recording her 'Kandi Koated Nights' web show there.

For Shopping experience I give Tags a B+, they offer a great selection at really down to earth prices! Exclusive fashions for great prices, enough said! You can also "Tag" yourself by purchasing a Tags graphic tee. Peaches does a great job with interacting with customers, I even recall one I went in she had refreshments set up for shoppers. For decor, I give it a B, the shop is pretty simple, the are a couple nice furniture pieces and the fitting area is very lounge like. The store does a great job of not letting the store outshine the clothes, but the store still looks great. Am I making any sense? Either way, Tags gets a solid 4 out of 5 pumps. Go check it out online at www.tagsatl.com or in Smyrna, GA at West Villiage Place.
