Tis.tiK Boutique - Bright cocktail rings just in time for spring!

26 year old Perla Brito Cuevas is from Taxco, Mexico the country's jewelry capital. She grew up surrounded and inspired by jewelry merchants and makers. Perla, a Babson College graduate is now the proud owner of the Harvard Square and Dedham boutiques Tis.tiK meaning, "A warm welcome to you" in the Mayan language.

Perla stays true to her roots and represents the artisan works of young women designers from Mexico. From jewelry, to hand bags, frames and more, these designers are finally getting the recognition that their beautiful work deserves. Much of the artwork is made from recycled material. The beauty of this work cannot be described in words, its something that you just have to see for yourself!

HINT: The cocktail rings pictured above make for that perfect accent to your classic spring dress and are priced at $52.00!

A unique vintage shopping experience – The Buffalo Exchange

The nationally known Buffalo Exchange recently opened its doors in Davis Square. It is truly a unique experience for vintage shopping in Boston. Unlike other popular vintage shops, The Buffalo Exchange will review and buy your items right then and there, no appointment necessary. True hidden gems arrive at this store each week. I just purchased a Anna Sui dress from the 2008 spring collection at over 80% off!

HINT: Donate your old furs to Coats for Cubs and give them back to the animals! All furs donated, including trims and accessories are sent to wildlife rehabilitators, who use the furs to warm and comfort orphaned and injured wildlife. More than 200 rehabilitators from across the United States and Canada now participate in this program.
