Welcome back to the Loft & Vine blog!

I’m sharing some fun things I did around the North End and other areas of Boston with a few friends... what are weekends for, if not brunch and shopping?

I started the morning with brunch down on Salem St. (just a hop and a skip away from the shop) at Wicked Craft Co. The food was amazing, and they had lots of fun drinks. Perfect spot if you’re looking for a high-energy atmosphere with a bumping early 2000s playlist!

After brunch, we visited shops throughout the North End that were hosting a celebration of summer with raffles and special promotions. Loft & Vine was giving away delicious Southie Cookies with every purchase, and the most adorable flower bouquets from Bubbly-n -Blooms! This inspired me to opt for an outfit with bright colors, specifically the trending “Barbie Pink” shade. Sarah has the cutest beaded handbags by Tiana NY in the shop and I brought along a floral one that matched my dress perfectly! It was the perfect size for having my necessities on me through the day (phone, wallet, lipstick, sunglasses, etc.) without adding any bulk. My friend loved it so much when she saw it at brunch that she went and bought one for herself!

Later on, we headed over to Seaport to make custom perfumes at the Ol Factory pop-up which was lots of fun! We wrapped up the afternoon with a walk through Christopher Columbus Park, one of my favorite spots in the area. Stay tuned for more to come on the blog soon!
