Not your mom's jeans
I wrote a column about Washington Square's new-ish -- and only -- boutique Velvet Ribbon in the Globe's Sunday Magazine. Not only is owner Nicole Pham an absolute sweetheart, but her chic and surprisingly spacious store is chock full of favorite designers: Robert Rodriquez, Joie, Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent, etc.

Plus, Pham has a great selection of this season's new denim styles -- wide legs and high waists, oh my. I used to live in Washington Square, so naturally, I'm pretty bitter that this stylish shop opened after I relocated to Somerville. But, on the other hand, think of all the money I'm saving by not stopping into Velvet Ribbon every time I get off the T.
