Hot Trend: Rock-and-Roll Fashion

by eldean | August 08, 2007

Hot New Neighbors: Super-High-End Fashion in Boston

by eldean | August 08, 2007

Hot and Simple: A Return to Minimalism

by eldean | August 08, 2007
It's no secret that fashion sometimes goes a little schizo on us, and this season is no exception. From simplistic looks to bright colors and crazy shapes, designers were all over the map with their fall collections. But with the return of '90s...

Hot Without Hunger: North End Shopping

by eldean | August 08, 2007
Yes, it's the obvious stop for all things ricotta-filled and sauce-smothered, but the North End is so much more than just a dining destination: it's home to some of the best shopping in the city. In addition to old favorites like Shake the Tree...

Hot Eco-Chic: Envi

by eldean | August 08, 2007
We love that Envi (164 Newbury Street, Boston, 617.267.3684), Boston's newest eco-chic boutique, doesn't sacrifice style for earth-friendliness. No awkward cuts or scratchy fabrics here; instead, brands like Del Forte, Panda Snack, and Perfectly...

Hot Pet Project: Celebrity Clothing Lines

Hot Boyfriends: Boutiques for Men

by eldean | August 08, 2007

Hot in Time: Big Sporty Watches

by eldean | August 08, 2007
Cities may never sleep, but we must - and unfortunately, we often over sleep. One way to offset tardiness is with this summer's favorite timepiece: the sporty, oversize watch. If you've got some disposable income set aside for following trends...

Hot Savings: Affordable High Fashion

by eldean | August 08, 2007
Oscar. Karl. Miuccia. Not names in our cell phone, and we're even less likely to find them in our closets. Thankfully, affordable high fashion is on the rise all over our great city. H&M (various locations) has brought us designer knock-off after...

Hot Threads: T-Shirts

by eldean | August 08, 2007
Maybe it was Johnny Cupcakes, maybe not. We're not really sure what brought the trend back - but we do know that really cool T-shirt lines are popping up across Boston (and around the globe). Softer, hipper, and more interesting than ever, Ts have...

Hot Workout Cheat: FitFlops

by eldean | August 08, 2007
Okay, so we're total gym-phobes. And when we do make it onto the treadmill - well, let's just say our focus is more on the hard body glistening on the machine next to us than on the calories we're attempting to burn. Hence our obsession with...

Hot Combo: Retail Parties

by eldean | August 08, 2007
We're not forsaking our favorite bars and lounges altogether, but retail parties have been appearing on our calendars with more frequency, luring us away with their promises of free booze and discounted merchandise. The North End's Shake the Tree...
