Beantown office reporting for duty

Well, consider the Boston office officially open!

I've known the Marchuska's since the wee age of 10 and I can say, Christine has always had the style thing down. Whether it was making that cheerleading outfit chic, buzzing around in her sidekick (trust me, in 10th grade, it was HOT!) to rocking her childhood fur coat all over New York, she's always got her finger on the pulse. She's my style go to girl. While not everything makes the cut, she's definitely my "good friend mirror". You know you all have one. The person who tells you when you look hideous in those new pants? So when Christine first told me about her idea for her new business venture, I knew it'd be an instant classic. I mean, who doesn't love a trendy T that's ecofriendly? Green is the new black you know.

Well I had an idea for Marchuska and had to pass it Christine's way. While she may be my fashion maven, she certainly has learned a trick or two from 'ol Megan over the years and knows a good thing when she sees it. So Christine previews the new dress my way and I loved it, as I knew I would. Instantly I said, "You know what would go great with that? Leggings."

Some people may not like 'em, and those people do NOT live in Boston. Leggings have taken Boston by storm. A fan when they first came out, I was beyond psyched when I saw their return (for some of us, we never left). Whether I'm doing my day job at the office in Copley Square, or lugging my books to my grad school night classes on the campus of Northeastern, leggings go with me (and are seen) everywhere. And I'm not alone. In fact, spotted, Copley Place Mall, lunch time today, a cute gray sweater dress paired with black patent leather mary janes stilettos AND…wait for it…yellow stirrup leggins, the outfit was HOT! I'm spotting them everywhere. Corporate chic or just rolled out bed undergrad's newest fashion, leggings are back.

But Rome wasn't a built in a day. So, when I brought up the idea to Christine, she was on board. But first things first, find her some ecofriendly materials. So I'm officially on the hunt. It's gotta be soft and comfortable and help you take the mseries T or the Christine dress and leggings from day to night, just with a change of shoes! From taking a tunic from too big to too chic with a belt and some leggings or making that indecently short dress decent again, leggings are def your friend. Being in Patriots country myself, I can be seen sporting my fav Pats jersey Sundays with my leggings. With a cute pair of slouchy leather boots and a trusty pair of leggings, trust me, soccer mom I am not!

I've been trusting Christine with my fashion sense for the last 18 yrs, and I don't plan to stop now! Watch out Marchuska- leggings on the march.
