These photos are from last Friday, when I showed my sister around Charlestown. It's my favorite part of Boston, and I went a little crazy taking pictures, so I hope you don't mind that today's post is a bit photo-intensive. Charlestown has a quaintness and charm about it unlike any other place I've ever seen. I adore its rich history, colorful homes, and little shops. Despite my love for the neighborhood, however, I've only been there twice, and both visits were much shorter than I would have liked. Next time I go I plan to really explore!

  15. I love all the photos, and of course, love Charlestown too. It is just so New England. Now everyone I talk too from outside Boston connects it with bankrobbers thanks to that Ben Afflek movie, haha.

  17. I've lived in Boston all my life and I don't think I even visited Charlestown yet! I know. I need to be a tourist this summer after the bar exam and just explore Boston. I love your outfit, so cute and casual and perfect for a stroll in the city. Are you in Finals mode yet? Mines is coming up next week, stressing out now!
