A Wicked Cool Boston Travel Guide
Since Boston is considered "home" to the both of us a few months out of the year, I've gotten so many requests for recommendations on the best things to do, places to shop, etc. Per usual, you ask & I answer. I've compiled a list that can act as a guide for you during your time in Boston! OH - and if you're a Bostonian, share with us at the end of the post what places you would recommend! :)

SHOP TILL YOU DROP
Being on vacation is always a solid excuse to do a little shopping, am I right or AM I RIGHT?! I highly recommend strolling down Newbury Street - a destination known for its many retail shops and restaurants. You can find anything from high end stores to local boutiques - a little something for everyone!
My go to clothing store is LIT boutique. They have the cutest clothes, for any occasion, hanging on their shelves that you are bound to find the perfect #OOTD for your Instagram feed ;) Lucky for you, they have two store locations in Boston - one in the North End and one right on Newbury street.
