Summer Sale Sizzles at Crush!

We have finally embarked on balmy weather in Boston, just in time to recieve in all of the Fabulous Fall Fashions at Crush Boutique. And how do we make room for all the beautiful Fall plaids and bombers? With a wine, nibbles and TONS of markdowns on all of our vibrant summer threads. Pair any of these whimsical summer blouses and dresses with boots, skinny jeans, or a belted cardigan and you will easily "Fall" into September.

Thank you to all of our wonderful Crushettes for attending our Summer Sale Kickoff last Thursday night. You made it so special and stunned in flirty fuschias, bold blues and pretty papayas per usual!

If you missed out on Thursday night's festivities, stop into Crush to grab some steals and get a sneak peak at what's in vogue this Fall.

InStyle Announces the new LBD: The Little Bright Dress; and Crush loves it.

InStyle Magazine's August 2009 issue discusses the new LBD: The Little Bright Dress, and like all fashionistas recovering from this summer's glum, dreary weather, we at Crush are swooning for the sun, and anything that evokes the same feeling. Enter: The Little Bright Dress. Seen on stars from Hilary Duff to Kate Hudson to Suri Cruise, bright colored mini dresses are taking Hollywood, and Main Street (or Charles Street) by storm. In super feminine cuts with smart details and often drapey fabrics, these fun pops of color are decorating runways, hangers and fashion savvy civilians alike.

At Crush, we've been drooling over Alexia Admor all summer; the line has brought us one splended cut after another, many in a variety of colors and patterns. The kelly green has a lush feel as it rocks an elegant, but forgiving fabric and we love love love the new pink plaid (you may have seen it in floral and solid pink), it fits like a glove and will easily crawl into fall with camel boots and a chunky brown cardigan. The pleats on that piece conceal any insecurities, while the hourglass shape, adorned with a skinny belt, defines the waistline. Plus both of these pieces, like many others this season, feature pockets, the new must have detail for party dresses that causes us to beg the question: why did it take designers so long to create the need for them, and where did we ever put our hands before when flirting?

Happy Fourth of July from Crush Boutique!

For the first year every, Crush Boutique has remained open for the Fourth of July! Today Jess and I had the opportunitiy to meet many new friends, visiting from Toronto, Chicago, Dallas, and various other parts of the country, and globe. New faces shopped for dresses to wear to weddings in Mexico, something special for someone back home, and warm sweaters to snuggle up in for the fireworks tonight. Charles Street is buzzing with tourists making new discoveries in our quaint corner of the city, and locals charging toward the river to stake a claim for this evening's festivities.

The Crush windows are dressed up in red, white and blue. Our item of the day pairs a red Amanda Uprichard piece, featuring a cool cut-out back, with a navy and white dip-dye scarf by 525 America.

Happy 4th!
