Shop Alert: Suneri Opens on Newbury

Well that didn’t take long. Less than one month after Luna has vacated its spot at 205 Newbury (below International Poster Gallery), clothing boutique Suneri is open for business.   Everything is 20% off on Newbury (they also have a location in Davis Square). The boutique carries pieces by international emerging designers including Lina Rika, Mouska, Signette, and Ronan Chen, plus Kinross Cashmere and Genetic Denim.

Deal Alert: Diseño Anniversary Sale

Diseño, the SoWa home furnishings boutique stocked with earthy, trendy treasures from South America, is celebrating their third anniversary with a great big sale. Yay, we love home accessory sales. All in stock merchandise is 20% to 50% off through April 10th. This includes furniture,  lighting, throws, pillows, and all sorts of rugs – woven leather, suede shag, cowhide, and shearling. Look at all the excellent stuff.

Deal Alert: Sample Sale in Fort Point

This Saturday afternoon, March 20th 12pm to 4pm at a Fort Point venue called THE LOFT (319 A St., 3rd floor),  Boston boutique owners are gathering to unload items at excellent prices.

Boutiques include some of Boston’s best: Stil, Habit, Portobello Road, Velvet Fly, Flock, and French Dressing. Other vendors, such as Bryce Sin Care (organic and paraben-free), ICU-In Paris (gorgeous, on-trend jewelry) and Fabricadabra (a-mazing ikat pillows – I have three) will also be offering up their wares.

The only catch? It’ll cost you: $15 in advance, $20 at door. But ticket price includes 2 specialty cocktails and a gift bag. Click here to buy tix.

Shop Alert: Shoo Woo Opens In Copley

Boston’s Copley Place has a new shoe shop, shoeWoo. It’s a chain (this seems to be the company’s sixth outpost) that carries affordable lines that include Nine West, Joan & David, AK Anne Klein, and Rachel Roy. While the interior looks like a sumptuous shoe salon, the merch seems more fitting to the not quite as fancy Shops at the Prudential. Though, I suppose it’s not all Jimmy Choo, Tiffany, and Louis Vuitton at Copley Place; that’s where I shop J. Crew. I haven’t actually checked out shoeWood yet, but next time I need a mall fix I’ll definitely wander in.
