Bostonist is so glad the New York Times and Co. didn't nuke the Boston Globe back in the spring, because then we would never have had the sublime pleasure of reading the interviews with 2009's "25 Most Stylish Bostonians" (so named because, we presume, the "25 Most Stylish Bostonians Who Have More Money and/or Cooler Jobs Than You" was too long). We were especially taken with João Ribas, whose outstandingly obnoxious quotes like, "I have an abhorrence of both consumer culture and infantilism, which is why I don’t own a pair of jeans" make him sound like a character out of a Decemberists song.
Now that the major political parties have (pretty much) settled on their presidential nominees, Bostonist has decided to take a look at a vital aspect of election strategy: t-shirts.
A seemingly innocuous Dunkin' Donuts commercial starring Rachael Ray has sent the conservative blogosphere aflutter because it appears that Ray is wearing a scarf that looks like a keffiyeh,* which to some is the equivalent of calling for jihad.
A couple of weeks ago, we posed the question, ‘What happened to Jay McCarroll?’ We found out he that he had produced his first line and had a few other projects in the works. One of which, the documentary "Eleven Minutes," debuts tonight at the Boston Independent Film Festival. We got a chance to speak to Jay about the movie, fashion and what we can expect in the near future.
Women struggle every day to find the right outfit -- the one that looks good on them. We have closets filled to the gills, bursting at the seams, yet we still say we have nothing to wear. We look at the women in Hollywood and wish we could have the stylists on their payrolls to help us look red carpet ready for the boardroom and for the night out on the town.
What girl didn’t want to be The Little Mermaid living in her magical sea kingdom with her aquatic friends when she was younger? Nowadays, if a girl has a crab living with her, she should probably see a gynecologist, and the only fish most of us want to deal with on a regular basis is the kind served in sushi. But fear not, those still wanting to live the dream. This season there will be colors and accessories inspired by the sea. Blues in every hue will make you lust for the clear waters of a tropical destination.
Like the stock market, fashion has had its highs and lows this week. So we’ve decided to keep you up to date on the highs (Welcome back, Fashion House!) and the lowest of the lows of the fashion world.
Last night, Nordstrom held a charity opening gala for its second Boston-area store at the Burlington Mall to raise money for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, The Junior League of Boston and The Links, Incorporated. 1300 people attended last night’s event and helped raise $160,000 for the Boston-based charities. The store was filled with everyone from suburban socialites, stay-at-home moms away from the kids, business men, local celebrities and young women channeling their favorite Sex and the City character all dying for a glimpse at the new fashion beacon north of Boston.
A gentleman wears a hat. A baseball cap is not a hat, guys. It’s a piece of sporting equipment (you’re welcome to wear your baseball cap anywhere it’s appropriate to wear your jockstrap). Leave the baseball cap in the locker room. The ubiquitous scally cap (and its bastard child, the Kangol) is a hat – but it makes anyone who wears it look like a golf caddy or newboy. Sorry, Samuel L. Jackson, but it’s true.
It’s been pretty quiet on the fashion front. The shows in Europe are almost over and the Spring/Summer collections are on display in store fronts up and down Newbury Street. So in between listening to Papelbon complain and trying to get tickets to see Shiny Toy Guns on St. Patrick’s Day, why not take a well deserved fashion break.
Say hello to new columnist Ol' Scratch, who is posting on all things retro in Boston. Here's how he describes "Retroville" to us: "Amongst Boston's many underground scenes and small, quirky social groups, a segment who are passionate about the 'classic' lifestyle has arisen. Whether it's the greasers who love rockabilly, the classy cabaret kids, the swing dancers, or the bodacious burlesquers, they've all got one thing in common: They all live in Retroville." With that ...
Second only to the awards themselves, fashion is one of the main reasons why so many of us watch the Oscars. So along with everyone else out there with a blog and a voice, we’ve decided to give you our opinion on fashion last night. We’ll save you from our opinions on the winners and why Amy Ryan was robbed and stick to what we know. Fashion.

Thanks to the Museum of Fine Arts’s ongoing exhibit Walk This Way, shoe-loving Bostonians have found a new excuse for their obsession: They’re not just conspicuous consumers, they’re art collectors.
Valentine’s Day is coming up next week and women everywhere are shopping like crazy to find the perfect outfit for that special date. So what about all of those single girls who have a whole lot of nothing planned for that evening? Many of them will do the generic, sit home in sweats, eat ice cream out of the container, and curse their friends who are part of a couple. Bostonist would like to recommend to the readers to stop being like Andrea Zuckerman, when Kelly asked Brandon out to the spring Dance before Andrea got the nerve to put the spoon down, put the ice cream back in the freezer, and get out there.
A spring-loaded dress, a sun-lit fan, and a purse with a built-in alarm system were just a few of the futuristic fashions on display at the Seamless: Computational Couture fashion show at the Museum of Science on Wednesday. Over 1000 design and technology lovers packed three floors of the MoS's Blue Wing to admire clothes and accessories ranging from sublime (an air-filled dress that changes shape based on barometric pressure) to sci-fi (a burial suit that grows mushrooms to facilitate 'green' decomposition!).
Victoria Beckham is a style icon with Hermes bag collection that would make most women green with envy. It’s also fitting that she would make an appearance on Wednesday promoting her jeans & sunglasses collection right before her other gig that night. For those of you who don’t know, she sometimes sings with this pop group from the UK, ever hear of them? Spice something?

With the change of seasons comes the change of wardrobes. Millions of women all over will be switching over the purses, shoes, and clothes they live in for the next few months.
