Best of Boston

Much like its open-air London market namesake, Chestnut Hill’s Portobello Road is vibrant, cavernous, and filled with exotic goods. Co-owners Marina Kalb and Kristina Lyons source boho-chic clothing, jewelry, and home goods from all over the world (Santa Maria Novella perfumes, silk basics from Sula) and close to home (breezy linen Nuthatch button-downs, Chan Luu leather wrap bracelets). Even though the boutique is located along Route 9, it feels as exotic as a shop in brightly painted Notting Hill.
