I think I died and went to sneaker heaven.

Bodega, an underground shop in Boston, is a sneaker head’s paradise. I think visiting the store was the highlight of my Boston trip. It’s one of the coolest retail locations I’ve ever been in.

Last night, Paige and I went to paint pottery at Glazed Expressions in Lincoln Park. I painted a serving platter.
