I felt kind of guilty for seeking this place out (a friend who lives nearby recommended it) in the…read morefirst place, since I've been trying to economize lately. And having read some of the earlier reviews, I was prepared for this place to sell $200 scarves and candles. That being said, Nest does indeed sell high-end merch like jewelry. It would not be out of place in the South End. The walls were full of art from a local photographer that was amazing, but I don't have $325 to drop on a 24 x 8 inch panel right now. It's definitely one of the best-smelling stores I have ever been to, but the most expensive candle was $48, not two bills. However, there was a pretty sizeable selection of "reasonably priced" items, like $24 scarves, wine racks on sale, little foodstuff items, hair accessories. I ended up picking up two $12 leather-and-studded headbands which were cool. It's definitely the kind of place where you're either shopping for yourself or a woman whose taste you know really, really well. Because you're dealing with a home store with an independently-curated selection of stuff, the gifts aren't safely generic like Pottery Barn or Williams-Sonoma--I hope that makes sense. I really have a bias against indifferent customer service. So the only serious ding was that the woman behind the counter basically did not acknowledge or speak to me until I asked if I could put the headbands at the register while I shopped some more--she was sweet as could be and chatty after that. There was only one other customer in the store, who also got ignored until she made a purchase. I don't like feeling like I have to pay to get a hello out of someone. But I'll definitely be back again sometime the next time I'm in the nabe.

When we went in, both staff members were friendly and super helpful. They let us know there was more downstairs, didn't even realize there was a downstairs! I picked out a great top and pants for my husband and he picked out a cute dress with jean jacket for me. The clothes were weather appropriate but there are also options for cold weather in various spots because it was still getting cold at night in Boston. The probably best part was all the art that was available from independent artists. I got so many stickers and posters to gift and hang in my house. Cat tarot cards are great and I'm so happy we stopped in here because the vibe was 10000% better for us than other thrift shops. I also got book earrings, an elephant bracelet, and another pair of earrings. . The prices are reasonable and there's some great things in there even from the 90s.

Olivia was extremely knowledgeable about all of the dress designers, fabrics, and various colors that all of the dresses were available in. She was able to answer every question that we threw at her (and there were plenty)! In my experience, the bride wasn't 100% sure of the type of bridesmaid dresses she wanted us to wear for her wedding, but with Olivia's help we are all able to agree on a dress and we all left loving the dress and feeling good in it! For a group of 6 very different women to all agree on the same dress and actually walk away loving it is a testament to the incredible selection that Olivia has to offer and her dedication to helping you find that perfect dress! I will absolutely be coming back to Olivia for any other weddings I may be in and someday, my own!
