How about this awesome, one hundred-year old coffee scale still in use at Polcari’s in Boston?! I discovered this quaint store when looking for a place to purchase coffee while on a visit this summer. This coffee and spice store will be my go-to from now on every time I visit Beantown.

Top: Anthropologie. Jeans: Old Navy. Cardigan: Joie (from TJ Maxx). Tote: Free People. Shoes: Anthropologie. I bought these early this year when they were on super sale and an extra 20% off. Crafted by Sixtyseven with superb quality that one doesn’t often see in mass-produced shoes, they were a steal at $14. Even the Anthro cashier told me what a good deal it was (I think she was afraid I wouldn’t appreciate the bargain. Believe me, I did and do!).
