B.A.S.H Popup Event Review

The BEAUTY, ART, STYLE AND HOME POPUP experience kicked off in Washington, D.C. on Dec 2, 2018 at Studio 52 for the holidays. The event was free to attend for the public. I was lucky enough to be invited and able to make it to this one. B.A.S.H does popup events four times a year. The popups provide the ultimate small business shopping experience that allows customers to come out to see and buy amazing pieces from the closets of boutique owners, racks of accessories and shoes, tables of home decor plus accents, shelves of beauty products and displays of signature art. It also allows vendors of all sorts to come out and get their products shown to hundreds of people. As I walked in, I automatically felt a sense of empowerment throughout the room. There were tables everywhere with all types of fashion including international fashion, Vendors paid a higher price for the holiday pop-up more than any of the other three. It was worth it in my opinion.

Aside from the fact that there were over 50 vendors in the room, there was also a DJ, and style talk session done by stylist, Stania, who owns Miss Sassy LLC. The beverages and a few snacks were covered by Blue Henry, an all natural ingredient drink crafting company.
