In-Your-Face Glasses - Lunette Optics In Boston
It's finally safe to be outdoors again without risking frost-bite, loss of limbs, or loss-of-car-in-the-snow. A word to the wise - stock up on sunglasses before you stock up on Vitamin D.
Sachin & Babi at Neiman Marcus
Together nearly twenty years, Sachin and Babi met at FIT, and have worked with Oscar de la Renta, Valentino, and Armani as a B2B embroidery company. In 2011, they started their own line of RTW and evening wear, and the modern-day Alice in Wonderland ball gown from the current collection is just one of many pieces you need to see (and touch, and wear) to believe.
Making The Cut
When it comes to cut-offs, I'm more into crop tops than daisy dukes. 6-pack or not (not), a beautifully structured high-waisted skirt and a crop top are the perfect pair.
Rock 'n Roll All Night At The Verb Hotel in Boston
You wanna know where I'll be this summer? Check The Verb Hotel. The former Howard Johnson space has been majorly upgraded with a rock 'n roll twist, and is quite literally seeped in music, and its memorabilia.

Run For It! The Workout Gear That I (Literally) Live In.
I may not be running in the Boston Marathon this coming Monday (or, ever...) but I can definitely suit up in my finest workout gear for some oh-so-satisfying exercise (and city-gazing) around my neighborhood in the meantime.

Artist Sarah Russell's Aspirational Reality
The art world seems to be trending backwards these days. Perhaps that's why the unapologetically high-energy work of artist Sarah Russell is so damn exhilarating.
Channeling Margot Tenenbaum In This Off-Duty LOFT Look
I channeled Margot Tenenbaum's style for this quintessentially Spring look from LOFT - a crisp white shirtdress and an equally crisp army jacket in olive. A flowery fabric headband added just a tiny bit of color to the otherwise muted palette, which also included a gray belt and matching sneakers.
Cocktail Hour: A Ginger Renacida with Vicio Mezcal
In vino veritas. In cervesio felicitas. And (as far as I'm concerned) in cocktails, rebirth. Since I've expanded my repertoire to include spirits, in my brief but noble quest to find my signature drink I've gravitated toward ginger-centric libations. (The logic behind this? Ginger makes it virtually hangover-proof.)

It's Now (Officially) Eternal Spring at the Always Sunny Shops at the Prudential
There are so few places in Boston where you can get a Tom Ford makeover, drink a Damascus Date smoothie, shop and shop some more, and then eat yaki soba, all without ever having to face the rain, snow, wind, or extreme heat of any given day in Beantown. (As if!)
Shades of Sound at the Boston Ballet
It's the only "Shades of something" that's actually worth seeing...Boston Ballet's Shades of Sound opened last week, presenting Chroma, Episodes, and Black Cake along with one of the largest orchestras that the Boston Opera House has had in its history.
Saks and Reed Krakoff part ways, Krakoff leaves Boston - for now.
