Covet: Gamut Scarves at Michelle Willey


These scarves at Michelle Willey are as light as air and so, so pretty. They’re made from silk and cotton, and cost $98. The colors are lovely and the weave quite delicate. I also love the earthy, stringy fringe. I may have to go back and pick one out for myself. It’s actually worth a trip over there; Michelle has expanded.

Sneaker Alert: Marathon Monday

P A R T Y  @ P U M A

Puma’s stuck their senior director of merchandising, Magda Cardosa, in the window of their Newbury Street store today – on a treadmill –  in honor of the Boston Marathon.  Stop by and see her sweat.  There’s a sale and a party (yes, of course there’s beer and music). Details below!

The Puma Store, 333 Newbury Street, Boston

Boston’s BladeRunners will be at the DJ booth all day.

A the end of Cardoso’s 26.2 mile jaunt, PUMA is throwing a soiree (everyone’s invited!) complete with balloons, snacks, and drinks courtesy of Harpoon, and maybe even dancing.

Anyone who tries on a pair of PUMA’s new Complete Ventis or Complete Spectana running sneakers gets 26% off of any piece of footwear today.  You can also enter to win $50 PUMA gift cards, which will be raffled off throughout the day.

Shop Alert: Forty Winks Opens in Harvard Square

Forty Winks, Harvard Square

While I’m constantly parading up and down Newbury, I don’t make it over to Harvard Square quite as often. And when I do, I’m a bit, shall we say, affected, by the margaritas from the Border. So it’s no surprise that Daily Candy scooped me.  Forty Winks, a new boudoir/boutique,  opened at 56 JFK Street on Friday.

I just chatted with co-owner Meredith Donaldson (the other is Rachel Wentworth; they both worked at Mint Julep), who sent this photo (I’ll get over there soon!)  and ran down their raison d’etre and list of brands for me. Basically, they’re a lingerie and loungewear shop (they actually know how to fit bras) that also sells some swimwear, scarves, and candles. She points out the area’s dearth of underthings, “There’s nothing in Davis, Porter, Harvard, or Central; you had to go downtown or to Cambridgeside .”

As for labels, they’ve got: Cosabella, Hanky Panky, Spanx, Bobi, Le Mystere, Chantelle, Belabumbum, OnGossamer, Eberjey, Mary Green, Huit, Top Secret, Keep Me, Daft Bird, Plan B Leggings, Yummie Tummie, Soak Lingerie Wash, Commando, Voluspa Candles, Felina, and more.
