This past Friday, I had the opportunity to attend Shecky’s Girls Night Out at the Biltmore Ballroom in downtown Atlanta. If you’ve never heard of Shecky’s Girls Night Out, it’s probably the most anticipated girly girl event of the year. Anything a girl ever dreamed of has been made into a reality at this popular event: Goody bags filled with beauty and fashion items galore, an open bar with some of the yummiest fruity cocktail concoctions known to woman, and a plethora of vendors selling an assortment of the hottest in clothes, shoes, accessories, and makeup. Vendors included (but not limited to) Lady Jane Custom Footwear, The Office Party, and Just Wink. While at Shecky’s, we got a chance to catch up with one of our favorite boutiques: Funky Flair. We spoke with owner, Kesha Denise about her take on Shecky’s as well as find out about new developments with Funky Flair since our last interview!
