Get Seen » At Boldfacers’ Stylemakers Pop-Up
Feel-good shopping with a dash of voyeurism, anyone? Boldfacers gave
us the chance to poke around the closets of Boston's
best-dressed (without risking a restraining order) at the fourth annual
Stylemakers pop-up shop and party at W Boston
last month. No skeletons here, just super-stylish castoffs from 25 locals - think
Erica Corsano's Bottega Veneta clutch, Laura Baldini's jewel-encrusted Manolos,
Jeff Lahens's cornucopia of ties and hats, and no shortage of leopard prints
and sequins from former Baywatch star Traci Bingham, who grooved in the aisles as
DJ Shasha spun dance-ready hits. The feel-good part? All proceeds from the
evening's sales went to the Stylemakers' charities of choice, like Sail to
Prevail, a nonprofit that funds therapeutic sailing programs for more than 1500
disabled children and adults each year. To learn more, check out

Shea Rose, singer/songwriter
A fan once described
Shea's style as "rocker goddess," a
label she proudly lives up to. But while she loves fearlessly chic fashion,
comfort is key, especially onstage - which means no super-high heels during her high-energy performances.
But she makes up for
the heels by kicking up her
makeup and hair, whether going natural with her fierce afro or molding her mane
into a towering faux-hawk for shows. (You can see her in action on March 10 at
the Revolutionary Women and Reggae Festival at Hibernian Hall in Roxbury.)
While manning her
racks at the pop-up, she rocked
layers of cozy neutrals: a ruched and ruffled Arden B. jacket, a Guess sweater,
a scarf that her mother gave her for Christmas, and a cut-out romper from
Karmaloop that put a very fresh twist on casual sweats, especially when paired
with high-heeled sneakers from Urban Outfitters.
