Brandy Melville Opens on Boston’s Newbury Street

The recent opening of the Brandy Melville store on Newbury Street has been the talk of town lately. Well, at least among my friends and sorority sisters. The store, which is the first in Massachusetts, is known for having cute, trendy pieces at affordable prices. Low-priced chain Forever 21 has seen huge success since it’s opening on Newbury Street in 2010 and I feel as though Brandy Melville, which is now located across the street from Forever 21, will see the same success. Plus, how can they not do great when they carry...
