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.

Travel: Fillmore Street, San Francisco, CA

Interior of The Grove by Jessica Gioglio

It probably won’t come as a surprise to the more frequent readers of this blog, but I adore charming little restaurants and boutiques. When traveling, I purposefully seek out places like San Francisco’s Fillmore Street that contain a mix of both. Delightful, yet not overly posh, this street is situated in the city’s beautiful Pacific Heights neighborhood, and is perfect for a lunch and shopping jaunt.

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….

Fashion Update: Forever 21 Opens on Newbury Street

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.
