Boston

The Stylish City would like to take a moment to stand in solidarity with Boston, and thank the strong and brave residents, and of course the city’s officials and police for successfully protecting citizens and ultimately our country.

Although shopping seems insignificant after the week we just endured, but sometimes it can be therapeutic and a much needed mental break. After a wild line up of sample sales this past week, we recover with the hair of the dog. This week, a packed line up continues, with sales from Jennifer Tyler, Pixie Market, Scoop, Scotch & Soda and the incomparable Vivienne Westwood.
