Site Spotlight: Terrain

Anthropologie has a garden shop – Terrain. I had no idea, until I read about it on the Lucky mag blog this morning. The flagship, Terrain at Styler’s, is near Philadelphia, and includes a cafe and extensive nursery. You might already be in the know, but just in case you’re not, here’s a sampling of their wares. Perfect pickings for this gorgeous spring day.

Local designer Daniela Corte is opening up her otherwise by-appointment-only studio at  211 Newbury St. (note – this is a new address) on Saturday 10am to 6pm for a sample sale of spring and summer pieces, plus past-season items at 60-80 percent off. Prices start at $10; cash or check only.

Deal Alert: Cynthia Rowley Sample Sale in Boston

I was so excited when Cynthia Rowley opened a boutique on Newbury last year. Partially because it reminds me of my twenties in New York City; one of my favorite charity gala dresses is a Cynthia Rowley. I’m doubtful I will ever squeeze into its size 2-ness, yet I will never part with it. That said, I’ve hardly bought a thing at this still new shop. Well, now’s my chance. The Boston sample sale starts tomorrow and goes through Sunday, 10am to 9pm (really, in Boston, 9pm?!), up to 80% off on clothing and accessories. See ya there.

Shop Alert: Second Time Around, Three Times on Newbury

Is consignment shop Second Time Around trying to taking over the world? It’s certainly aiming to dominate Newbury Street. Yesterday I spotted its third outpost, at #324, between Hereford and Mass Ave. True, that last block of Newbury is like its own little world, but seriously? If they have that much stuff, then we’re all buying too much and disposing of it too soon. Though they do take on extra stock from area boutiques too. I should probably clear my closet and see if I can get some extra cash. Everyone else is doing it.

Shop Alert: Rebecca Minkoff at Saks

Handbag designer Rebecca Minkoff is popping into Saks in Back Bay tomorrow, 4pm to 6pm, to show her new spring collection, priced from about $55 to $595. They’re even serving martinis. More details on Daily Candy. Here’s a sampling of pieces:
