Tell us about you and Blue Dangles? I am fourth generation in the fashion business. I am a purveyor of ladies’ fashion. Blue Dangles Boutique offers un-paralleled customer service and styling. In addition to carrying high fashion lines not seen elsewhere, we manufacture clothing with our own fabrics sourced from all over the world.
What fuels you and share the wisdom that you’ve gained through the years? Women fuel me with the understanding that we all face the same body issues. We dress sizes 000-3X in the boutique. Clothing needs to accentuate our favorite parts and disguise our insecurities. We can help you be the best you…why? Because our team listens.

In addition to laser services we provide many other treatments to illuminate existing skin conditions & rejuvenate skin at any age. We offer complimentary consultations, customers packages to me all your health and beauty needs.
Things that we should know about you? I am a diamond Delta flyer. I travel the world for Runway Fashion and unexpected fashion finds. I am a confirmed chocoholic (milk chocolate only). I am honest, I’m going to tell you if your lipstick is wrong with your outfit. Just like your mama would! I am an internationally acclaimed award winning stylist. I have collaborated with many designers from Project Runway and have made capsule collections for the boutique.
What exciting projects are you working on? Blue Dangles is celebrating our 12th anniversary in Johns Creek. Successfully introducing unique fashions to the community has brought me a great deal of personal satisfaction. I enjoy assisting women look and feel their best, whether out for girls’ night, in a boardroom, or in their daily lives.

Who inspired you? My father has had the biggest impact on my life…I grew up in his boutique, buying and sourcing designs and fabrics. He began his lengthy career as a fashion designer in Europe and sparked my interest in women’s apparel and helped me develop my talents.

Your Favorite Quote: When a woman says, “I have nothing to wear”, what she really means is that she has nothing for who she wants to be today. Clothing allows us to express ourselves daily and gives us satisfaction when it’s on point.
What are the books you enjoy reading? I am constantly working on trend forecasting and fashion development. Because of the scope of my business, my reading tends to be fashion related and I also love reading biographies.
