No, I didn’t pop off to London. I wish. But I did make it to Chestnut Hill and finally (finally!) checked out the Portobello Road boutique. It’s owned by two local women with wanderlust and exquisite taste, Marina Kalb and Kristina Lyons. It’s their private version of Anthropologie. It works.
They hit the trends nicely – Union Jack, succulents, gnarled wood bench, and other on-point picks all made a showing. They even have fresh flowers in inventive arrangements. In addition to home goods (LOVE the John Robshaw bedding), there’s fine art, clothing, jewelry, paper goods, and goodies for kids.

We just purchased those two poufs for a kids bedroom. They are an abundance of playful color. Love them!

Portobello, in London, is one of my favorite shopping areas, so much choice, vintage, handmade, incredible!! Will go for a stroll as soon as weather gets a bit warmer, too cold in London right now…

Portobello looks great. My wife and I just bought some bedding from them on a road trip up north. It is a great store.
