No Rest for Bridget

(NRFB Facebook) No Rest for Bridget is one of the newest Boutiques to pop up on Newbury Street this spring. The store, which has its roots in Orange County, California, offers trendy young women cute clothing and bold accessories at reasonable prices. My favorite thing No Rest for Bridget carries has to be their extensive selection of statement jewelry. I recently popped into the store and instantly fell in love with the colorful chunky necklaces they had on display. In addition to No Rest for Bridget,...

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...

Boston Beware: One Direction Pop-up Comes to Quincy Market

Today tween girls from all over Massachusetts will be flocking to Quincy Market to get first dibs on merchandise from the One Direction pop-up store that opens there today. The pop-up store will carry everything from life-size cutouts of band members to One Direction stick-on nails. The grand opening of the One Direction pop-up store in Sydney last year reportedly attracted over 2,500 eager fans. So unless you’re obsessed with this teenybopper band, I highly suggest steering clear of the Faneuil Hall area this weekend...
