Amy and El's THIRD year in business was the best yet; filled with 8 pop-ups, the launch of the new "HERE. and NOW xo, Amy & El". line, the second annual Fall fashion show, parades, partnerships, concerts, new artists, and countless glasses of wine!

There are such exciting things in store for HERE. in 2016 (think online shopping! among other things). We cannot help but thank every single artist and customer who makes this craziness all worthwhile and offer you a hearty CHEERS! from all of us HERE.

Hi there! I am Meghan, HERE.'s newest #bosslady and the one behind this blog! I just joined the girls in September and have already had so much fun getting to know Amy, El, Kim and Lauren and working in 3 of the shops, including the FIERCE. FALL. FASHION. show back in October.​

​

​My full time job right now is being mama to my 3 little ladies; ages 4, 3 and 15 months. Throw in a bulldog and 4 chickens and there is never a dull moment around here! My background is in Fashion Merchandising and in the past I have worked in DC for Ralph Lauren after graduating from University of Delaware. I have always lived on the eastern shore, spending summers on the water, and currently reside in Centreville, but attended both middle and high school in Annapolis. Anytime we need a night out, we generally head over the bridge to some of our favorite spots like Joss, the Boatyard, or Kilwin's for ice cream. Most Saturday nights in the summer you can find us jamming at the outdoor concerts at Quiet Waters Park.

I was introduced to the pop up shop and Amy and El by my friend and HERE. featured artist Lindsey Lowery of LBo Craft. I reached out to the ladies a few months ago about helping out any way I could and the rest is history! I cannot wait to see what is in store for this amazing little shop and being a small part of the story, and recording it on here as we go. Stay tuned, and as always, CHEERS to HERE.!

The shop was PACKED! in the best way possible, with hardly enough room to fill your arms with all the goodies that would make the perfect gifts, for family, friends AND yourself.

From jewelry to wreaths, chocolate to candles, and stockings to dream catchers, the shop did it again, restocked, for the second Midnight Madness. To change it up, they offered samples of Jailbreak Brewery's "Feed the Monkey" to go with bags of fresh popped pop-corn with Old Bay on it.  They also gave away HERE. a pop-up shop/Jailbreak pint glasses to the first 75 shoppers! And the #bossladies always keep the bubbly flowing well into the midnight hour, even when the other stuff runs out! ​

Another highlight from Midnight Madness II were the ladies in their own fresh greens skirts! The mannequins they had done for the windows had gotten so much attention throughout the week that they didn't want to be upstaged :)

53 Maryland Avenue is closed now, but not forgotten, HERE.'s holiday pop-up "Deck the Halls" was definitely one for the books!
