Shop Alert: All Saints Spitalfields To Hit Newbury Street

Amidst the rash of Newbury Street closings I’ve unearthed some good news. All Saints Spitalfields is setting up shop in the space vacated by Pottery Barn earlier this year. A definite improvement.

What’s that? Well, I admit I had no idea ’til I went to the website a few minutes ago. It’s a British brand, with complete lines of women’s, men’s, and kids pieces, plus a few home accessories. There are boutiques in New York, L.A., and Miami, and lucky us, Boston’s next. The aesthetic is sort of steampunk meets Ralph; an earthier Madewell. And, coincidentally, its plaid and antler style is perfect for my blog this week, as I’ve got a series of hunting lodge chic pieces planned in the coming days.

Here’s a sampling of their offerings. I think we’re going to like this place!

Shop Alert: Luna Leaves Newbury Street

Wow.  This is crazy.  Luna Boston closed its Newbury Street boutique on Monday.

A real loss, that is for sure.  There’s a showroom in Charlestown, and of course their excellent website, but still.

What if I want to buy a bag on a whim? Boo.

Just in: Owner Sarah tells me they’ll messenger Bostonians their bag of choice – same day service. Yay!

I want this one:

Rebecca Minkoff Linear Stud Darling, sale price $357

Olympic Style: Runway to Raceway

It’s been all Olympics, all the time at NBC. Last week I spent quite a bit of time perusing photos of Olympic athletes trying to figure out if mere civilians could acquire high tech skating suits and such. (See: Dress Like an Olympian). As I sifted through, I realized that a lot of the looks were oddly similar to looks  shown on the runways at Fashion Week. So, when I finished the Olympic gear guide, I threw together a photo gallery that’s a bit more up my alley: Runway to Raceway.” I hope you’ll click through; it’s fun.

And, since I just posted about cobalt & black looks, I made a little Olympic fashion montage just for you.
