If someone would like to deliver some toasted pumpkin seeds and chilled Kit Kat Bars, I wouldn’t hate it…. Happy Halloween all!
I was safely in and out of New York this weekend for a quick but wonderful trip with old friends. Wishing everyone still there safety through this hurricane!
I remember being quite young and reading an article in some teen magazine or another about the coolest college campuses. Harvard University was on that list, due in large part– I’m sure– to the preppy-meets-hipster sanctuary that is Harvard Square. I spent this past unseasonably warm Saturday strolling between the Square and the Charles River, where The Head of the Charles Regatta was taking place– an October tradition I’ve tried to make a point to come to since I first moved to Boston. Clam chowder, pumpkin beer, and old fashioned sarsaparilla were enjoyed. I do recommend it.

The most gorgeous fall day was had this past weekend. Apples were picked. Pumpkins were selected. Doughnuts were devoured, and cider was sipped. Fall is here, and all is well now.
To what may or may not be my favorite month– let’s make it a great one.
For a wedding + summer’s last hurrah…
Boston isn’t New York. Boston doesn’t try to be New York. But in all fairness, this city is home to a lot of local design talent, NY Fashion Week or no. I met with Alyssa Davis, designer behind Skiler Love, a recently launched jewelry line, and I am so excited to introduce you to her brand and invite you to her upcoming launch.
From bangles to body chains and charms to brooches, her newest collection, entitled Bohemian Luxe, is “one part vintage charm, a dose of modern simplicity and a stylish sized portion of individuality.” They are unique and feminine with just the right amount of edginess– and so very delicate. Plus, prices will range for just about all budgets. Take a look at some of my favorite pieces that will be available soon…!
The Bohemian Luxe Collection will be available for purchase online starting October 1st, but all of my local readers are welcome to attend her Boston Fashion Week Launch Party and Fashion Show on September 30th at The Greatest Bar in Boston. Entry is free, just RSVP here!
