I love candles and have them all over my home and when I want to purchase something a bit special, I make sure to pick up one of the many wonderful scented candles from Diptyque. The candles are quite pricey, at about $42-$62 for a votive size candle.
Yes, you can probably find a less expensive candle in another specialty shop, (like another of my fave places, "Yankee Candles") but it isn't the same and the scents you find in Diptyque Candles are truly unique.
Stars (like "J-Lo and Beyonce" to name a few) are know to purchase these for their wonderful aromatic long lasting scents.
The candles make a great house warming or gift for that special someone.
Candles, what else?! They also carry a selection of 12 differnet types of scented toilet waters, soaps and vinegars.
I absolutely love their lavendar, gardenia mint and freesia scented candles.
Ranging from $42 and up. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Located on Newbury, not sure of the exact addyWebsite: www.diptyqueusa.com

A Doggy Bakery and Boutique, this store has everything for the pampered pet. Like most of my shopping trips, I always try seek out and find a dog boutique to stock up on new clothing, toys and treats for my little Cookie.
I had seen the "new" type of harness and leash and wanted to pick one up for her. I also picked up some great all natural treats.
I purchased some peanut flavored all natual baked goodies, the new Puppia Soft Harness and Leash, and a few chew toys.
The prices aren't cheap. Expect to pay above your normal pet store pricecs. The Puppia Harness was about $30 and so was the leash, the natural cookies were about $8 a bag and the chew toys ranged from about $5-$10. All for a very spoiled little girl! Leave a Comment

I totally love this place. I swear by their "eye lash curler" the best in the market. Shu Uemuru is a speciality cosmetic store for anything a girl can want. I don't use much make-up and the eyelash curler is a must for me. I have natually long eyelashes but they need a bit of help to get them to curl.
I didn't purchase anything during this visit.
According to their website, "Award-winning, iconic shu uemura Eyelash Curler with an exclusive design that suits all eye shapes and naturally curls lashes with out crimping them. A 2005 InStyle Best Beauty Buy and awarded as one of Town & Country's "Top 150 Best Beauty Products". Leave a Comment

Eight city blocks of shopping for the true addict.
Whatever you wish! Start on the west end (the cheapest and funkiest stores) and work your way east (towards the 4star, high end shops) to find just what you're looking for. Leave a Comment

Newbury Street has been called the "Rodeo Drive" of Boston. Shops are quite pricey but the closer you get to Massachusetts Avenue the more reasonable they become. I went into Urban Outfitters (there is also one in NYC) and got a few things. It's a beautiful street, at least worth walking down to window shop!
probably too much! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

This is the closest thing to 5th Ave in Boston, at least at the end that starts near the Boston Garden. Would be very cool to live in one of the many brownstones on this street, but they must be in the thousands for monthly rent.
Designer duds at the Park end and funky stuff at the Mass Ave end, including CondomNation, a couple of Nepal and Tibetan gift shops, art galleries, vintage clothing and used music stores. Theme: OtherDirections: Get off at Park and walk through the Common, cross over into the Gardens and then find the Ritz Hotel. Newbury St runs along the left side of the Ritz as you are looking at the hotel.

There are many many many small art galleries on Newbury Street, Boston. Michaelopolous is my favorite,... he is an amazing artist from Greece who first started painting houses in New Orleans, as he saw them, bright, and vibrant and ALIVE with music!! The houses appear to be able to dance off the canvas! Oh and here's his website, if anyone is interested:
http://www.michalopoulos.com/<br />
Anyhow, I digress.... there are OTHER galleries on Newbury too, some independent artists like Michaelopoulos and others of groups of artists, such as at Gallery D'Orsay,......

Loads and loads of used books, though I have never found a true bargain here, it is fun to browse. Hot and sticky in the summer, though...no air conditioning.
