I went to the Achilles Project the other day, it's so cool!

Its already got a few reviews on Yelp. Seems cool, Id like to go. Seems kind of an out of the way place, no?

cutxpaste, what was it like?

 

[cutxpaste]

It's very much like a gallery. All the clothes are displayed in glass cases with only one size shown. I was really impressed with their selection, they have great pieces from labels that I've overlooked in the past.

you + me = going

 

[marcj]

yeah i would love to hear about it, im dying to go there

 

[Ianastar]

The list of brands they carry looks pretty impressive

 

[cutxpaste]

And they have Surface 2 Air, which I have never ever seen in Boston.

 

[marcj]

yeah, they seem to carry a lot of similar brands as opening ceremony ( and they actually carry the opening ceremony label itself)!! im going tomorrow.... it's official

 

[ChrissyM]

[ChrissyM]

oh ok!
so, right over in south boston then...
i think my sister works right near there..

maybe i can convince her to meet me there one of these days

thanks

 

[Ianastar]

OK, now I have to go.

there is a new hair stylist that I want to try and he is at like 240 Summer St.

Its hard to get over there though right? No T stop. You have to get off at like South Station and take a bus or something right?

 

[cutxpaste]

I got off at south station and walked, it's not far.

 

[Ianastar]

Well, maybe I will go soon. I got my hair cut today with my usual guy, so I'll have to wait a few more weeks.

Hey everyone, just a quick question.

I live in Mass, only half an hour or so from Boston. Been there quite a few times, but believe me, when I'm there, I still act like a frantic lost tourist that gets run over nearly a dozen times when I try to cross the damn street.

I'm moving all the way to Nevada in a couple of months for college (UNR), and I'll miss my homestate. So I want to make a final visit (in a long time anyway) to Boston before I embark on my never-ending journey to the grand ol' west (yeehaw?).

So my question is, recommend some thrift/boutique stores I should visit when I get there. I've been on Newbury Street, nothing special except UO, to be honest. Thanks (and sorry for the long novel!)!

Barney's and Louis are my favorite shops after Filene's Basement on Boylston Street where They had McQueen, Chanel, Missoni and Givenchy scarves this week. I bought a Givenchy black raincoat.
