The local fashion forward shops

There is something so reassuring about being able to walk over to a local boutique and be recognized and buy something with some character. I think we all need to support the independent coffee houses, book sellers and small boutiques.

Two that are local and fashion fun stops are

The Studio 233 Harvard Street Brookline MA 02446 (617) 738-5091 www.studio233.com

and

Portobello Road 47 Boylston Street Chestnut Hill, MA 02467 (617) 264-2020

There are tons of these little stores around your neighborhood befriend one of them, in a pinch you have a go-to for a last minute fashion crisis
