Crush, currently

August was a big month at Crush, our Fashion Show at The Liberty Hotel was huge success, we sent Jessica off to Paris, began receiving fall shipments, and did some serious d.i.y. home improvement in the store.


Fashionably Late on August 20th was certainly the highlight of our summer. Runway models strutted Crush goodies around the lobby of the hotel, and inside Clink. Downstairs, we cozied up in the corner for an intimate trunk show in the Alibi Lounge. Laura and Rebecca were interviewed by NESN (we're still awaiting video footage) and we had the opportunity to mingle with friends, customers and Boston fashionistas while gushing over our new fall finds.


The same weekend we bid adieu to Jessica who'll be spending the semester in Paris, and yes... we're jealous.


Last night, we got around to a chore we've been looking forward to tackling: painting our sweet little underground space. The three of us, Laura, Rebecca, and Brianne, shut ourselves up in the store after hours, with pizza and some paint brushes. First step, the fitting rooms. A fresh coat of paint, and per Rebecca's inner domestic goddess, some plaster. Our masterpiece though is the shelving display at the back. Achieving a fresh coat of glossy black paint over our previously bright coral shelving was a bit of a challenge, but success was had and we spiced it up with some coral sponge painting around the frame. Nothing is as fun as a crafty evening with the Crush girls.
