Eastsider Magazine caught up with Stephanie Rozanovich, Owner of Trend Boutique in Oakley to learn a bit more about her shop and whats trendy now.
When did you first think about opening a fashion boutique and why? It started about three years ago while living in Boston. I lived there from 2002 to 2008, and during that time I watched many clothing boutiques open in the North End section of Boston. I enjoyed shopping in these boutiques, as well as supporting other small, family owned businesses. These businesses became a big part of the character and identity of the neighborhood, and I really enjoyed that aspect of Boston.

Shortly after moving back, I decided to combine my love for fashion with the valuable business skills I gained at IBM to open a store here. read more »

This new home is the third location for the gallery, which has been an eastside staple for over a third of a century.
“The gallery opened in 1974, and I purchased it from the original owner well over a decade ago. So I’ve owned it for right around a dozen years by now,” says Sylvia Rombis from her second floor perch overlooking the new domain. “This is our third location, and I have to tell you, the next time they take me out of here, it will either be for retirement or in a box – I’m not moving again.” read more »
