Love You a Yacht

I’m so excited to finally be able to share some photos from our Yacht City photoshoot with Boutikey!

For those of you who don’t know [ahem, missed my review], Boutikey is a fun new app that connects shoppers to local boutiques. How do you normally hear when your favorite independent stores are having sales or promotions? Maybe some have an email list… maybe some are active on social media… but 9 times out of 10 I know I won’t hear about that sale unless I walk in the doors. Until Boutikey came around, that is. Now I can follow all of my favorite boutiques on one social app– to hear when they’re having big sales, when they get new shipments in [+ what!], when they’re having special events, and more.

And if you don’t trust Boutikey to introduce you to some hidden Boston shopping gems, maybe you’ll trust some Boston fashion bloggers? A handful of us were paired up with local shops to highlight some of their best summer looks– mine comes from Mint Julep [already a favorite– lucky me!]. They have locations in Coolidge Corner + Harvard Square in Beantown, plus the Lower East Side and West Village if I’ve got an NYC readers here! Such pretty clothes–dresses especially–at a wide variety of price points, and accessories to BOOT.
