L'elite Bridal Boutique
Photo by Alisha Norden It’s okay to admit it: Many brides dream of feeling like a princess when they’re walking down the aisle. Good thing you can expect to be treated like royalty at L’élite Bridal Boutique. The luxury boutique’s extensive selection of gowns is, in a word, dazzling: Expect to find dresses by Carolina Herrera, Elie Saab, and Oscar de la Renta sharing the racks with gems from Monique Lhuillier, Marchesa Notte, and Vera Wang for Pronovias. The cosseting service from the bridal consultants, meanwhile, ensures you’ll have a regal experience, from the gown selection and the alterations to the dress preservation after it’s all over. 137 Newbury St., Boston, MA 02116, lelite.com.

Yeah, we know it’s been three years since lockdown, but we’re not looking to get out of our athleisure any time soon. And thanks to Legit’s stylish selection, we don’t have to: From floral statement sweatshirts by Essentiel Antwerp to edgy, wear-with-everything tanks by Cotton Citizen, we trust owner Jen Schneiderman’s taste for what’s on-trend. Plus, we’re digging her new lifestyle collection with equally spunky accessories for the home (see: Pretti.Cool’s “Garbage Collection” milk jug vase). 33 Boylston St., Ste. 3350, Chestnut Hill, MA 02467, legitactivewear.com.
