One Weekend For The One Fund
May 2nd
The events of the 2013 Boston Marathon hit us close to home. With our headquarters located in Boston, as well as three stores located on Boston’s Newbury Street, our hearts went out to the victims, the first responders, and everyone affected by the tragedy.
During the weekend of May 17th - May 19th, 10% of all STA sales will be donated to The One Fund, benefitting the Boston Marathon victims.
We are proud to be from Boston, and we celebrate this one weekend in honor of The One Fund.

How to Commute in Style
Apr 28th
True to its history as the birthplace of American public transportation, Boston has a wealth of commuters traipsing its sidewalks and riding its Commuter Rail, “T” and bus systems. Due to the walking and the exposure to the elements involved in using public transportation, commuters are often forced to forgo fashion for function in order to get to work on time and in relative comfort.
While I am certainly a proponent of functionality as a commuter myself, I feel as though I must speak out in defense of fashion as a stylist with a 10+ year history in retail.
Please, people. Let’s strike some sort of balance, shall we?
Footwear
This is perhaps the biggest point of contention….
While I fully understand that the suede pumps or heeled sling-backs that you are going to wear at the office are not suitable for the 6 block walk that you have to the bus stop, please do NOT replace them with your gym shoes, your stained and too-thin Old Navy flip-flops or – horror of horrors - your Ugg slippers. There are innumerable kinds of sleek and stylish “fashion” sneakers and adorable ballet flats out there in this world, just waiting to be purchased. Go find yourself a pair. Stat.
Worried about the hem of your pants dragging on the ground? Get yourself a pair of these and quit making excuses.
And if the weather is really nasty out, please don’t drag the cute ballet flats and fashion sneakers that you invested in after reading this blog through the puddles and mud of the city. Instead, get a pair of rain boots that will keep your feet dry and save your other footwear from irreversible damage.
Outerwear
Please – for the love of all that is fashionable – wear the appropriate outerwear for the weather. If it’s raining, please leave your leather and cotton jackets at home. Instead, wear something that is water-proof – or at the very least – water-resistant. There are numerous anoraks and trench-coats available for purchase this season.
Accessories
Invest in some. Scarves have become year-round accessories. Use a light-weight knit, cotton or jersey version to take the morning chill off and add a pop of color and texture to an outfit. Use an umbrella to add…well, dry-ness…to your rainy-day ensemble.
Agree with my sentiments, but hesitant to cough up the money on those types of items? Head to your local Second Time Around where our fashionable and friendly sales associates will be more than happy to hook you up with the commuting necessities that you lack. Your fashion sense – and wallet – will thank you.
Check back in the fall for recommendations on how to commute in style during the cold fall and winter months.
