It’s hard (if not impossible) to say “no” to beautiful things. For our latest Style page, I took inspiration from agate, druzy stones and geodes. Done right, they’re a gorgeous way to balance earthy simplicity and subtle glamour. Boston retailers have both in spades, and inevitably some of our favorite items don’t make it into the magazine.

It only makes sense that a Style page have an accessory, and that’s where the blog comes in. Read on to see other fabulous products hanging around in the Hub.
