The Sweet Sugary Taste of a Daily Candy Mention

The entire neighborhood is buzzing about getting ready for Sparkle this weekend, and now it seems our exuberance has spread city wide. The Daily Candy suggested Sparkle as "What to do this weekend besides seeing DMB at Fenway."

Sunday May 31st at 3:30pm, please join us at the Beacon Hill Hotel and Bistro as we, along with other Charles Street boutiques dress your favorite local fashionistas for a strut down the runway to benefit Rosie's Place.

Thanks Daily Candy!

Crushing on our New Arrivals!

We've been eagerly awaiting a number of shipments lately, and now that they're here: we can't get enough of them! Together, the new arrivals at Crush will outfit your weekend.

Saturday Morning Brunch:
The Paige boyfriend jeans came in last week and inspired our mannequins to pull Katie Holmes. Donning your favorite pair of boyfriend jeans with a simple white tank and a scarf (we love the Tolani ones, but they're going fast so come in soon!) makes for a carefree look.

Out and About for Saturday night:
Our first ever Shoshanna shipment just arrived. The stunning cherry red strapless dress features a sweet heart neckline and a slightly cinched waist from which its A-line skirt falls. The lined sheer material modernizes this classic cut. Perfect for cocktails or an afternoon wedding. Looking for something a little lighter? This gorgeous white Shoshana dress absolutely emits class and is sure to bring out your inner Jackie-O.

Sunday Yoga with the Girls:

The Beyond yoga pants go so very far beyond their status as a yoga pant. The soft stretchy material is 10% lycra. The pants feature a wide waistband that makes them extra flattering. You'll never again worry that you look silly at yoga.

Boho Chic, Accessorize Yourself

Spring is abloom and Crush is abound with bohemian chic accessories. With pieces from Ettika, Zad, By Boe, Tolani and Big Buddha, you too can crush on our new accessories and update your favorite white tee and jeans combination. Adding these earthy pieces with leather and wood details will complete any laid back look while providing a bit of natural sophistication.

Peace signs and hammered gold are huge this season and expressive of the freedom and laissez-faire lifestyle that bohemia evokes. In smaller doses, these earthy accessories add a bit of nature to your closet this spring.

Some of our favorite pieces:

Ettika leather wrap braceletes with gold peace sign and leaf accents

Zad gold hammered peace cuffs and rings with floral and bubble details

Tolani scarves in colorful patterns, as seen on Jessica Alba, spice up your white tee shirt and boyfriend jeans

Big Buddha suede bags with lots of fringe, carelessly trendy
