So in celebration of Cocktails with Claire x Miss Diddy LA coming to Atlanta on Saturday, we are dubbing this week Atlanta week!
I’ll be kicking it down in the A for a little bit, and shopping is on the menu. As such, I thought it only fitting to do a rundown of must visit boutiques in Hotlanta:
1. Pure Atlanta (Lenox Square, 3393 Peachtree Rd #5025b, Atlanta, GA 30326)

Atlanta is all about mall culture, and Lenox Mall is a must stop if you’re ever in the A! While there, pop by Pure Atlanta, a store that carries designer wear for men and women. Loads of celebs are fans (Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug performed there once upon a time). Inside, you’ll find Versace, Cazal, Coogi, Pierre Balmain, Fendi, and more. You’ll easily spend so much at Pure you’ll be searching for a cologne coupon code for your next bottle by the time you leave! Check out their website here.

2. Pink Sky Boutique (880 Glenwood Ave., Ste. D, Under Enso Apts on Bill Kennedy Way, Atlanta, GA 30316)

Looking for easy, effortless, and affordable separates to take on your day? Look no further than Pink Sky. From maxi dresses to skirts and shorts, this boutique seems to have it all, and everything is less than $100. Shop their online selection here or visit them at 880 Glenwood Avenue Suite D.
3. Pressed (Phipps Plaza, 3500 Peachtree Rd NE #2020e, Atlanta, GA 30326)

If you love Love and Hip-Hop doyenne Rasheeda Frost’s style, then you’ll loved Pressed! The store, located in Atlanta’s luxurious Phipps Plaza, carries apparel, accessories, makeup, and more, all geared towards the bossy fashionista. Prices are reasonable and the selection is plentiful. Peruse here, and definitely stop by the store at Phipps should your travel take you to the A!

4. Jeffrey’s Atlanta (Phipps Plaza, 3500 Peachtree Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30326)

While you’re in Phipps, you must stop by Jeffrey’s. The high end concept store carries all the designer brands you love, from Céline to Tom Ford to Miu Miu, Balenciaga, and more. Guard your wallet! Pieces are pricey. But it’s definitely worth a trip, whether you want to window shop or splurge.

5. Tags Boutique (225, Brookwood Square, 2140 Peachtree St NW, Atlanta, GA 30309)

Owned by Kandi Buress and partner Peaches, Tags offers luxury for less. The successful stores provides trendy and high end apparel and accessories at their two locations in Atlanta and Las Vegas.

6. Plush Boutique (3060 Pharr Court Road N NW Atlanta, GA 30305)

Sleek and sophisticated, Plush Boutique offers fashion for any occasion. Stocking Indie designers, the store carries sizes 4-24. Their online store has a preview! Take a look here.

7. Wish (477 Moreland Avenue Atlanta, GA 3037)

If you consider yourself to have unique yet cultivated taste, a stop by Wish might just be on the menu. Glide through the main floor for apparel from off the beat designers; the shoe store in the basement is the thing dreams are made of.

Sneakerheads, rejoice! See what they have on tap here.

8. Meow and Barks Boutique Buckhead (2221 Peachtree Road NE Suite P28 Atlanta, GA 30309)

9. Bill Hallman (792 North Highland Avenue Northeast Atlanta, GA 30306)

Looking for cute and trendy? Bill Hallman always has you covered. Also, the Highlands is a must stop if you’re looking to shop in Atlanta. Stop by either of Bill Hallman locations at 792 North Highland Avenue and 299 North Highland Avenue Northeast.

10. The Shops at Buckhead Atlanta (The Shops Buckhead Atlanta, 3035 Peachtree Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30305)

After you pop by Lenox, Phipps, The Highlands, and Little 5 Points, come to the new Shops at Buckhead. According to my friend Tara, “It has all the high end shops you love. It’s a new development on Peachtree.” She’s right! There, you’ll find Tom Ford, Etro, Dior, and Theory, just to name a few.
I haven’t been, but I’ll definitely have to stop by this weekend!

Kandi Burruss Tucker stepped out for a night of revelry at Atlanta’s Gold Room in a sheer black dress and the same $1,555 Versace Fringed Sandals previously worn by Heidi Klum:

Both ladies skewed saucy in little black dresses, though Heidi’s was articulated with pinstripes, gold details, and an off kilter neckline.
The sandals boast a metallic fringed ankle cuff.

Both ladies look bomb, but Kandi takes the cake for me here. Her body looks amazing! Her body bounced back like a ball post baby!
