Where Did You Go Louis Boston?

R.I.P Louis Boston Newbury St. Location

Growing up, Louis Boston was everything that exemplified high-end fashion. Great clothes, quality products and an iconic location residing in a historic building on Boston’s Newbury Street. The interior was beyond classy, and they even had a restaurant called Boston Public. Despite barely being able to afford anything in it, it was really a very special store; one I’d marvel at similarly to a museum with an exceptional fashion exhibit–all year round. This past trip to Boston I made it a point to stop by and low and behold it’s completely abandoned *heart break*.

You were once the greatest location ever, now you're a parking lot:(

After some further investigation it would appear Louis is not lost, just moved. But still, I would like to take a moment and reflect on the store that once was.

Inside Boston’s The Colonnade Hotel

While I do consider myself a New Yorker (we’re going on our 10th anniversary in September!), truth be told I’m originally from Boston. Well technically Belmont, a little suburban town all of 15minutes outside of Boston. I don’t really have a lot of Boston pride, except for when it comes to Red Sox-Yankee games, otherwise the only thing I think Boston has on us is cell phone service on the train. Don’t get me wrong,  it’s a great place to visit, I just wouldn’t want to live there again.

Although after a decade of trips home, only in the past month have I ever stayed at hotels (which is so unnecessary, especially since I think my dad’s new house could qualify as a hotel). Although by doing so it’s been a completely different experience. Last month I was at the Charles Hotel in Cambridge (for a wedding), and this past week at The Colonnade in Boston. This past trip has somewhat changed my stance that I maybe I could live in Massachusetts again if The Colonnade was my permanent

Spotted: A Boston Braid?

Check it! So here I am taking the T (Boston’s subway) and I stumble across this AWESOME loose, side French-Braid-like do. So naturally, I take out my geeky Canon PowerShot ELPH digital camera and ask this unsuspecting girl if I can take a picture of her hair. Of course I looked like the biggest tourist/creepy stalker in the process and the train was moving so my amateur shots don’t do the style justice.

I love it, and I will definitely be rocking this do. Thank you random Boston girl for the inspiration.

Abdi Assadi Talks Intuition at Norma Kamali’s Wellness Cafe

Abdi Assadi. Check out his book, Shadows On the Path

Fashion designer/icon, Norma Kamali is on a wellness kick. Well more then a kick, it’s a way of life. I mean look at her, she’s definitely doing something right (it’s probably the Organic Avenue diet and all of those Physique 57 fitness classes). Back in September she hosted “Conversations”, a dialogue on wellness solutions with notable speakers including, Twyla Tharp, Horst Rechelbacher, and Abdi Assadi, which I was very lucky enough to be apart of.  She’s additionally has been hosting various wellness events at her store (sign up for her mailing list to stay informed). Her latest, featured a speech by Abdi Assadi, spiritual advisor, acupuncturist, and author of Shadows On the Path, on intuition.

Abdi Assadi, Norma Kamali

I was first turned on to Abdi Assani over a year ago by my former roommate (and best friend) Mike, who ordered me his book, after I was going though some distress. Probably some ‘what’s my purpose in life crisis’ or freak out over my 16th breakup with my boyfriend at the time. If you’ve ever met Mike, you’d probably recognize his endurance level for any type of bullshit is at 0.05% –and even then, he’s probably only tolerating that much out of friendship. Mike was one of the lucky individuals who got through Abdi’s waitlist, and gets to see him professionally. An endorsement from Mike has more value to me than 3 Michelen stars, so needless to say, I’ve been
