Boston in Memoriam

This memorial garden was a shock to us. Whilst strolling through the streets of the North End we stumbled upon a tour group talking in front of these dog tags and had to stop. Not only did we love the reflections off the metal, but standing in between rows of lost lives there was an invisible stirring of sadness and unity.

The Garment District

We finally made our way to the Garment District, Cambridge's famed vintage store. We decided to do some shopping ourselves and dug through the $1/pound pile on the first floor. We spent less than $4 on a skirt, 2 t-shirts, a flannel, a scarf, a pair of tights, and a pair of shorts. 

After $1/pound clothing, anything is going to seem expensive, so it was no wonder that by the time we made it to the second floor we were not in the mood to shop. However, we loved the decade-separated rooms and the obvious selectivity of clothing.

Orangeade

We met Audrey on our way back from The Garment District. We loved how her jacket stood out, but she tied the outfit together with shoes, dress, bag, and scarf all in the same color scheme. A school-time local, Audrey attends Wellesley College and is from D.C.

 Did we mention the Alexander McQueen scarf?

Wagadelicious

We decided to take a break from our usual people watching and venture into Wagamama for some delicious food. (No, this is not a sponsored post.) Our waitress was pretty cool and the way she scribbled our orders on the placemat in some sort of new-age language was quite impressive.

Traces of the West

We spotted Mila on the common sifting through pages of a magazine.  Her unique sense of fashion led us to believe she was a newcomer.  Evidently her west coast style was influenced by the streets of Santa Monica.  She claimed she dressed this way since she," was in a rush."  In her opinion, the style prevalent in Boston was "more conscious," as opposed to what she was accustomed to.
