Shopping Trip: South End Formaggio
I took a little field trip over to the South End two weeks ago to meet up with Ricardo Rodriguez about the Urban Showhouse he’s organizing (more on that later). I stopped into Hudson, tried to figure out what movie they were filming in front of The Buttery, and grabbed a sandwich at Formaggio. It’s neighborhood shops like this that make the South End a tempting place to live. (Not that I could give up the orderliness of Back Bay and proximity to the Esplanade, but still.) It’s a wonderful gourmet gem – so picturesque – and chock full of inspirational ingredients. Plus, my ham and butter pressé was de-licious.

Shop Alert: Kitchen Arts To Re-Open
Looks like Kitchen Arts won’t be vacating Newbury after all. There’s been some construction happening inside and the sign says it’s open during renovations. It also says “Kitchen Arts by Blackstone’s.” I’m guessing that’s the Blackstone’s of Beacon Hill, though there’s no mention on their website. Whomever it is, welcome!

Shop Alert: DVF to Open in Boston
Diane von Furstenberg has not only been busy designing groovy patterned wrap dresses; she’s been opening up boutiques worldwide; 28 internationally to be exact, though only five in the U.S. But business is booming and open she will. Although she’s got a flagship is in the Meatpacking District, and she’s secured a lease for a 2,000 square foot Soho outpost, which, according to WWD, Furstenberg says, will be “a lab to funnel ideas through all our stores and our wholesale business.”
More importantly, DVF is coming to Boston!! WWD reports that a DVF boutique will open in Boston in July. Must do some recon to find out where. I’m guessing Newbury; there are plenty of storefronts from which to choose. Any thoughts?
My favorite DVF looks for fall:
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.
