Fashion Buzz- Behind the Scenes with Crush
I was so excited to begin taping my new segment Fashion Buzz on Style It Up. I have never in my life interviewed anyone on camera before, let alone come up with an entire theme, locations and script for a tv segment but I was so excited to give it chance! Thankfully Althea Blackford, producer of Style It Up, gave me just that incredible opportunity and I was off and running! My vision for my own segment was to highlight some Boston area boutiques, both helping Bostonians trend spot and shop but also to support local businesses. As a small business owner myself, I know how impactful and important it is that we stand together and help support one another. You may shop at any local store on a regular basis but have you ever gotten the chance to know the owner behind the business? What is their goal, what made them open their own business,where are they from?! And most importantly, what can WE do to help them? I hope Fashion Buzz will be a fun, eye opening and inspirational trip around the city, teaching the audience not only where to shop and how to dress, but also a business or life lesson that someone else has been kind enough to share.
For the first episode of Fashion Buzz I visited Crush Boutique. Though this popular boutique is no newbie to the Boston fashion scene (they opened the first store in 2007 on Charles St), they are new to Newbury St! That is where they opened their second store just last month! Why Newbury St you ask? Well so did I! So be sure to catch my interview with owners Laura and Rebecca when it appears on Style It Up later this month. For now, check out some behind the scenes pictures of the taping:
