Shop Till You Drop...Or Your Credit Card is Denied

So it's no New York City, but Boston is still filled with some pretty awesome shopping. I mean, just spend 5 minutes on Newbury Street- you'll be completely overwhelmed and your bank account will hate you (yes, just from window shopping!). What are the Boston stores that make you leave your wallet at home (for fear you'll empty it out)?? What stores do you need a 12-step program for to keep you away??

Bcbg

71 Newbury St Ste 1, Boston, MA 02116

Sometimes I shut my eyes when I walk past BCBG because I just know I’m going to want everything in the window. And those taunting signs! The signs that claim “Sale!!” but when you go inside, you realize that 10% off a $400 dress really isn’t that much. Or at least not enough for your bank to give you a loan (er, not that I’ve tried).

BCBG Coat

Thank you, BCBG, for showing me my dream coat and then telling me it’s $595. You’re so so cruel. But I’ll never stop loving you. Hmm I’m starting to see how abusive relationships work.

Haan Cole

199 Boylston St, Chestnut Hill, MA 02467

Your shoes are absolutely beautiful. And oh so comfortable (especially the ones with the Nike soles). Gorgeous shoes that are also comfortable?? That doesn’t come along very often, so when it does, it comes at a huge price. Thanks a lot Cole Haan for making your shoes cost more than I could ever afford. Except on that rare, rare occasion when the ones I’m lusting after appear in your outlet store.

Cole Haan Shoe

I love this shoe (which would coincidentally go quite nice with the BCBG coat), but at $295, I’ll be able to afford it…never. Sweet. And to think, if I was rich I’d be able to float along on Nike Air while wearing a 3 1/4 inch heel. Who knew Cole Haan manufactured miracles?

 

Betsey Johnson

Where ever she goes, I follow.

Name that tune!

MY Cole Haan Dream Shoe

Okay, I couldn’t resist an opportunity to express my love of a Cole Haan shoe. I go crazy over very few shoes…I’m no Carrie Bradshaw. But, I love the above! They no longer sell it. :(

Wish

49 Charles St, Boston, MA 02114

Wish carries tons of designer brands like AG, Citizens, DVF, Nanette Lepore, and Splendid among many, many others. I have done some SERIOUS damage here on party dresses and other various items I “need”… but wait for their sales. They are great!

Bebe Stores

349 Newbury St, Boston, MA 02115

This Bebe is awesome, not just because of their beautiful brand new store, but their sales help is great! All the girls that work there are really sweet and genuinely care about helping you. I specifically choose to go to this location while others may be more “convenient” because the stellar service!

Boston
I love cupcakes, the color pink, writing, technology, blogging, trying to learn Japanese, and walking from one end of Boston to the other. I make it my goal to try one new thing in Boston every week, but sometimes I find things I love so much, I just can't tear myself away from them. Boston...
