Fashion: For the Love of Leopard

Zara Lepoard Scarf, $38

You may or may not have seen me strolling the streets of Boston, San Francisco, New York, or London with my favorite oversized Zara leopard scarf this past winter and spring. Call it a fashionable security blanket if you will, but I couldn’t resist the charms of this lovely half chestnut brown and half leopard scarf, $38, at Zara on 214 Newbury Street.

 

While immersed in my oversized leopard scarf bliss , never once did I realize I would have to part with my beloved scarf as the mercury rose. Luckily for me, the kind folks at Chico’s solved that problem for me. They gifted me with a lightweight, summery leopard print scarf that’s sure to travel in style with me throughout the summer. And, with the number of trips I have on the horizon this summer, I’m thrilled for a new, versatile accessory to jetset with.

Guest Post: Highlights From My Fenway Park Tour

I’m excited to share the following guest post from my friend John. John and I recently took part in a Fenway Park tour while he was in town visiting from Minneapolis.

Initial Impressions:

As Mr. Barry states, baseball is an important part of our national consciousness. Although I do not have a historian’s view of the hotly contested rivalry (baseball and otherwise) between Boston and New York, nor a rooting interest in the home team, stepping into Fenway Park is a huge rush.

Introducing: The SavvyBostonian via Tumblr

Fenway Park by Jessica Gioglio

There’s a new SavvyBostonian in town and she’s set up shop on a brand spanking new Tumblr page! Filled with vibrant photos of Boston, fashion, food, compelling quotes and more, my goal for this site is to make it a daily inspiration page.

Launched nearly two weeks ago, I’ve quickly realized that Tumblr is the perfect place to indulge in my photography obsession. And, indulge I have. From fab fashion bloggers, to foodies, social media strategists, my follower list is eclectic at best. Unfortunately, where I’m lacking is discovering where all of the dynamic Boston-area Tumblr enthusiasts are.

Any Bostonians out there on Tumblr? Know of a cool site I show follow? Leave a comment below with your Tumblr url, or follow my site. I’d love to see how you’re leveraging Tumblr as your personal inspiration page….
