Spring Trends: The Top 5 'Must-Have' Looks for Spring 2016

Image from Chloe’s Spring 2016 campaign, courtesy of Nordstrom. Spring Trends: what to look for in fashion this season Thanks to the screwy fashion week calendar, spring lines were introduced last fall.  To be honest, I cannot make myself look that them just as I’m heading into a cruel midwest winter, so I tend to remain oblivious to the seasonal spring trends until… well, you know… the actual…

iPhone Cases: dress your phone for spring

Love books? Go on a blind date with one at Harvard Square bookstore – The Boston Globe Harvard Book Store and a few other retailers in the Boston area held a "Blind Date with a Book" event last week in which books were wrapped in brown paper with tantalizing hints and readers were invited to take a gamble and pick one up for around $5.
