I took a little field trip over to the South End two weeks ago to meet up with Ricardo Rodriguez about the Urban Showhouse he’s organizing (more on that later). I stopped into Hudson, tried to figure out what movie they were filming in front of The Buttery, and grabbed a sandwich at Formaggio. It’s [...]

Shopping Trip: Liberty x Target
The Liberty of London collaboration with Target has been pretty well publicized among the fashion crowd. If you’re on the blog circuit, you know that the NYC pop up shop was so successful they had to shut it down early because the goods were all gone. Apparently merch was available online starting a midnight last [...]

Shopping Trip: Portobello Road
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 [...]

Shopping Trip: Fig
We always visit family in Westport, Connecticut over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. In addition to catching up with everyone, I manage to find time to shop. This year, in addition to the usual stocking up on staples at J.Crew, I purchased a new duvet for our bedroom, which is in the process of a [...]

Shopping Trip: Patch NYC
I finally made it over to the Patch NYC showroom at 46 Waltham today. What a maze of a building. What an amazing, cozy space. And… they’re having a sample sale! Prices are terrific; definitely stop over for last minute gifts. Earrings, $10 – $15 Necklaces, $15 – $20 Cotton velvet and vintage textile pillows, [...]

Shopping Trip: SoWa Market
I’ve lived in Boston for over six years, and have never visited the SoWa Market. Until last weekend, that is. It was a beautiful day, so I dragged my family out to explore. While the boys feasted on delicious, super chocolatey homemade brownies (sorry, I didn’t get the vendor), I whisked myself through the stalls [...]

Shopping Trip: IKEA
I finally took a road trip to IKEA in Stoughton, Mass. yesterday. It was pretty painless. Despite my husband’s plea “not to buy anything,” I came back with lots of little goodies. After all, not he surely meant furniture, not 79 cent glasses and fifteen dollar lamps. I tried out a few chairs – as [...]

Shopping Trip: Brimfield, The September Show
I went to Brimfield today. It was a whirlwind adventure, accomplished between drop off and pick up (could NOT be late on the first day of school). I didn’t set out with a mission. Just to explore and take a lot of photos. Here’s what I turned up…

Shopping Trip: Jill Goldberg’s Brimfield 10
You might remember that I visited Brimfield back in May, tracking interior designer and Hudson store owner Jill Goldberg. I can finally share Jill’s top ten picks! The Boston Globe Sunday Magazine piece, “Antiques Roadtrip,” was published last Sunday in anticipation of this week’s show, which runs September 8th to 13th. I’m going back on [...]

Shopping Trip: The Wellfleet Flea Market
In addition to its hidden ponds, fried food, and quaint art galleries, Wellfleet has the only drive-in movie theater on the Cape, and it comes complete with mini golf and a sandy playground (think John Travolta doing “Stranded at the Drive In” in Grease). By day, this tarred over hot spot hosts a flea market, [...]
