Best of Boston

2006 Best Women's Clothing, Casual

Parlor

Yes, we know: We look cute today. We looked cute yesterday, too. But really, we can’t take all the credit. We had help from best-friend team Kelly DiNisco and Nilda Martin, who stock pleasingly anti-prep clothes and accessories out of New York and L.A.: Porridge wrap dresses, Nicholas K. trenches, and in-demand Tag Jeans among them. Prettying your pals? Why, that’s what friends are for.
