Athens, GA

Blonde boutique in Five Point of Athens, GA - althought the door calls for "blonde" - brunettes and redheads are welcome also. According to Brandy Chandler Blonde "was the only name that seemed perfect from the first moment it popped into my head". Inspired by a visit to a boutique in Colorado, one of Five Points fabulous finds is the boutique located at the Hodgson Terrace building in the heart of Five Point, Athens, Georgia.

Opened in February of 2008, blonde has forged ahead offering clothing lines rarely found in Athens including:

• Robert Rodriguez
• Kara Janx
• Built By Wendy
• Diane Von Furstenberg

and other clothing lines inspired to create what Chandler calls " typical, everyday play and work clothing for young and older women".

If you realize blonde is an attitude, not necessarily a haircolor, you'll love a trip to Blonde Boutique in Five Points of Athens, Georiga.

Five Points is a fabulous Athens, Georgia community that has historically been one of the most desired neighborhoods near the University of Georgia. Five Points is know to be a "walking community" convenient to shopping, restaurants, entertainment and historically appealing homes.

One of my personal favorites in 5 Points is Jittery Joe's Coffee (photo above) where "Each little brown bean is a labor of love". They also win my "Success Star Award" for "Best Adaptive Use of Real Estate". The Five Points location is housed in a former gas station that was (in my humble opinion) an eyesore. The building is now attractive, funky, fitting and a delight to my eyes!
