Hilken Mancini, formerly of Honeyspot and, before that, Punk Rock Aerobics, has joined up with vintage shop Gumshoe, now known as 40 South Street (40 South Street, Jamaica Plain, 617.522.5066). Got all that? Good. The shop has added a women's section...

Fan-fugging-tastic

by Heather Bouzan | March 10, 2008

Beyond Rock City

by Heather Bouzan | October 01, 2007
Allston's about more than just dive bars, cheap eats, and BU rock stars: lately, the area has also been cultivating a bit of an anti-Newbury Street fashion scene. At the forefront is Re-Up (1 Brighton Avenue, Allston, 617.783.REUP), an urban lifestyle...

A Century of Chic

by webteam | September 07, 2007
One of our favorite fashion icons is turning 100 - and no, it's not Janice Dickinson (though she certainly isn't looking any younger these days). Chic retailer Neiman Marcus (5 Copley Place, Boston, 617.536.3660), which got its start in a Dallas...

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

by eldean | August 08, 2007

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 Boyfriends: Boutiques for Men

by eldean | August 08, 2007
