Boston Shop Alert: Converse, Pinkberry, Ibex and J.Crew Men

Back in town for a day before heading off to NYC for a The Feast/Shop fest.  After a mani/pedi at Miniluxe I hit Madewell (got a super cute print dress, studded belt and army green jacket), then Saks for a return, and over to J.Crew (MUST try the toothpick pant – v. comfy). Here’s the new openings I spotted along the way.

Converse opening this fall on last block of Newbury next to Patagonia.

G2O Spa+Salon moving from last block 2nd floor space to fancier spot at 278 Newbury.

Pinkberry to open at 286 Newbury. Mmm.

Ibex (outdoor clothing) joins Newbury, in the former Framery space on the corner of Hereford.

The guys get their own. As reported by WWD this spring, J.Crew Men’s is opening in Boston, across the way from J.Crew in Copley Place. This will be the first men’s-specific store outside NYC. Now if they’d consider a Crew Cuts in the same location, I’d be all set.

John Derian for Target on Gilt Groupe

John Derian is the latest designer (along with Mulberry and Tucker) to create lower-priced collaborations for Target. And they’re on sale this instant on Gilt Groupe. Like the Liberty of London line that launched earlier this year, the John Derian pieces are crisp and cute. And really, melamine is infinitely more practical than glass anyway.

I snagged the waterlily, dragonfly, and feather  trays (perfect for Cape Cod), along with two butterfly bins (I’m thinking intimates). There was still stock left at 12:30, but you’d best hurry. If you need an invite, email me – stylecarrot [at] gmail [dot] com.

If you’re too late, the stuff debuts in Target stores on September 5th. If you really want to buy something decor-y on Gilt, there’s a Jonathan Adler sale still in progress.

Carrot a Day: Stained Glass Carrot in Wellfleet

I had dinner at The Juice in Wellfleet on Cape Cod the other night. I never noticed the carrot image stained glass window on the door that faces the road. Sorta corny, but felt like I had to post it.
