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.

I love this store, I love looking at all the different things they carry from chain stores.
Ohh I need to go- thanks 🙂
love it! I am going to have to make a trip over there
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…
