Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cupcake
Did someone say cupcakes? No, I think they said curly cakes. Specifically, Isabelle’s Curly Cakes, the hip new cupcake shop in Beacon Hill that’s owned by celeb chef Todd English and daughter Isabelle. When my friend Ryan suggested that we stop in one Sunday, I couldn’t resist sampling a few cupcakes to see what the buzz was all about.

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….

Let's Make a Heart by thefleeg From Flickr
Overly expensive pre-fixe meals? Ridiculously huge heart-shaped boxes of chocolates? Unnecessary amounts of red roses? I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a fan of the hoopla surrounding Valentine’s Day. Therefore, in the spirit of celebrating Boston’s simple pleasures, I’ve decided to share a few of my top picks for quality vendors, nibbles, and more that will brighten up your Valentine’s Day in the city, without costing too much. From romantic, to indulgent, to DIY, these places, treats and ideas are special throughout the year, but are also Valentine’s Day appropiate. Please consider this my Valentine’s Day gift to you. Mwah!

Forever 21 by Jessica Gioglio
Have snow boots, will shop! While the weather may have postponed Forever 21’s January 8 grand opening event on Newbury Street, it didn’t discourage Bostonians from flocking to the trendy chain in search of fashion-forward bargains.
Located at the top of Newbury Street between Hereford Street and Mass. Ave., Boston’s Forever 21 boasts a whopping four levels, three of which are dedicated to the ladies and one at the very top to the gents. Upon entry to the shop, I was struck by something that I don’t usually see at Forever 21: well-done visual merchandising.
