Create Your Vibe Event At Cambridgeside

 

 

Don't call it Cambridgeside Galleria any more.  They just dropped $30 million to redo the entire mall and rebrand it as Cambridgeside.  To help celebrate the light and airy new look we were invited to the Create Your Vibe event last week featuring food, fashion and fun something we've been preaching for years.

Chef Will Gilson of Puritan & Co. was there serving up a delicious polenta cake.

We were very glad to see Chef Brian Poe with his crew of Bukowski Tavern after he made national news surviving the harrowing experience of Hurricane Irma.  Caught in St. Maarten while on vacation the wind force literally crushed his hotel and obliterated the countryside.

I guess he's recovered enough to serve up this Wild Boar Meatball which was richer than beef and absolutely delicious.  We'd never had boar but it can regularly be found on the menu at his Beacon Hill restaurant Tip Tap Room. 

 

Café Art Science was also on hand to demonstrate how to whiff your booze, a very fun experiment.

Oh, and there were models and a DJ on hand to fashion the latest styles and set the festive mood.  Honestly, the place looks brand new and we look forward to spending more time here during the busy holiday shopping season.

Uniqlo Newbury Street Opening

Anthony Mastracci of The Next Gentleman and Elissa Garza of Style Wire. 

It's been a whirlwind week but we did make it to the Grand Opening of Uniqlo on Newbury Street last Thursday night where the fashion bloggers turned out in force to help celebrate.

Other than the cocktails, treats and well-dressed crowd the highlight of the event was a traditional Japanese ceremony called Kagami Biraki.  A barrel of freshly-brewed sake is cracked open with wooden mallets by the store management to bring happiness and prosperity for each new store opened.  Needless to say, the sake was shared with everyone.

Then there was the team from Fomu serving up their delectable ice cream.

Of course we were enamored with the colorful green tea ice cream being served and, as usual, had to have several samples.

And then there was a fully-stocked store that we had the very first chance to shop at.  I think I was the only one buying.  I do love the design and fit of Uniqlo styles and I am not easy to fit.  Somehow, everything they carry seems to be tailor-made for me.

Congratulations Uniqlo for the fun event and we join the team in wishing you success!
