Boston

In a couple of weeks i'll be visitng Boston, part of a road trip i have been wanting to do for 2-3 years at least, starting from Toronto - Montreal - Quebec - Bar Harbor - Boston - Cape Code - New Haven - (maybe NY City if there is enough time) - up the Hudson river - Niagara Falls and back to Toronto.

Anyway, how lucky i stumbled upon this little guide that will most certainly come in handy :

• I love a bargain. i'm also a huge fan of spending an afternoon digging through racks of clothes to find unique things to love. and last but not least, i like being kind to the environment. (reduce, reuse, recycle!)
  so, here is my list of the best vintage, thrift and secondhand boutiques in boston. if you're ever in the area, don't miss these fabulous places.

• poor little rich girl (somerville)
  this cute store, in the heart of davis square, sells both consignment and vintage apparel. it has a welcoming layout with clothes organized by size, fun knick knacks and retro decor. don't miss their selection of vintage gloves, earrings and hats.
  
• raspberry beret (cambridge)
  this semi-new shop (which also has a wakefield location) has great prices, quality vintage clothing and staff that are so helpful and friendly you'll want to be their friends. what more could a girl ask for?
  urban renewals (allston)
  i am always blown away by how organized and well-run this secondhand store is. it's also huge, (think warehouse) so you have to be patient and determined but the pieces are organized by color, so that helps. only con: no dressing rooms.
  
• the garment district (cambridge)
  this place is practically a boston/cambridge institution. they have a nice selection of vintage clothing, but can also be a great place to find a halloween costume. don't miss their dollar-a-pound downstairs but be prepared to dig.
  
• cafe society (brookline)
  this is an absolutely delightful store. the owner is a doll, the dresses are to die for, and the prices aren't too unreasonable. don't miss it.
  i hope this is helpful, and let me know if you have anything to add.
  stay tuned for next week: my guide to boston {bakeries, pâtisseries, and desserts}.
