It’s no secret that Lisa Swords is the ultimate stylist. Her talents, honed over 30 years in the retail business, extend to both fashion and interior design. When you walk into her store, perfectly named Bliss, it’s hard not to feel inspired. In 2016, Lisa opened Bliss Clothing on Hwy. 22 in Mandeville. Her second location of Bliss just opened in the heart of downtown Covington near Coffee Rani on Boston Street. Both locations of Bliss Clothing are sleek and smart, filled with natural light and are extremely fun to shop. Luckily for her customers, the Mandeville and Covington shops carry different assortments of clothes, which ultimately gives customers a wide variety of styles to choose from and good reasons to visit both locations. Lisa stays busy keeping up with the
