Anonymous asked: Is it expensive living in Allston? My roommate and I are considering Allston, Somerville and Davis Square as places to live after college

allston has always been my go to when people ask me where to live, perhaps because i’ve lived here my whole life… but also it’s just an amazing neighborhood full of culture and diversity and amazing restaurants and shops and people.

i know it would be more affordable to find a place in somerville, and davis square is also a virtual mecca of culture, restaurants (omg have you been to redbones?!), bars and theatres. it actually reminds me a lot of coolidge corner, in the best way possible. my sister used to live right in davis square and she had an amazing house there for less than i paid for my last two bedroom in allston. and since it’s right on the redline, it’s pretty convenient to get into the city. personally i wouldn’t live there, but as i said, i’ve been in allston forever and kind have just grown unhealthily attached to the shops and restaurants and people (my mum lives there!) who belong in shit city.

the price of living has been driven up in allston due to it’s popularity with students, and because landlords and realtors now realize they CAN charge $800 per person to live in a crappy house on trashford street. but if you look hard enough and have an open mind you’ll be able to find something affordable. i was just scouring craigslist for a couple friends of mine and found a few 2bd apartments on glenville and around harvard ave that were only $1300 a month. so start looking as early as possible and you’ll be able to find something affordable! but the longer you wait the higher the prices go.. and the shittier the apartments get.

hope this is helpful! xx

Anonymous asked: I live in Boston and know that you go vintage shopping at times and find amazing babydoll dresses, if you get them in Boston, where exactly?

hey love!

i’ve gotten most of my favorite thrifted finds at goodwill (the one near south bay is incredible, and the one at comm ave has some cool finds too sometimes)

other than that i dig the garment district in cambridge (do NOT be alarmed by the first floor flooded with random articles of clothing.. some of my best finds have been there! $1 a pound!)

urban renewal in allston is nice too

for awesome jewelry and accessories and REALLY vintage dress finds i hit up the random antique/vintage stores in essex/northern MA. totally worth the trip because there are tons of cute little restaurants around those parts and it’s just really gorgeous scenery as well. go early in the day for maximum photo ops!

hope this is helpful!

p.s. also me being a mini-human i will browse the shirt racks for tops long enough to be dresses on me. i’m not sure how tall you are but if you’re 5’5 or under this is a good option for you as well!

Anonymous asked: Jeni, where were you born? Where do you consider your "hometown" to be?

i was born in boston. at brigham and women’s hospital (coincidentally where my father worked).

i consider allston my hometown. not many people can say they “grew up” in allston. but i’ve lived there from infancy until i was 23. i’d say that gives me the right to claim this shitty, lovable, college-student-infested, quirky, dirty, lovable town as my own. my mother bought her apartment in allston almost 30 years ago. go mom for seeing an investment opportunity where others could not!

i grew up yelling out the window on thursday nights for the kids raging across the street to please “SHUT THE FUCK UP”. it wasn’t as fun to hear the sounds of allston nightlife whirling around up into my bedroom when i had to wake up at 5:45 to get to school on time. i went to jackson mann for pre-school and elementary school. that skate spot where kids go to drink and smoke and ride bikes, under the overhang, was where i got a piece of glass in my foot when i was 4 and we had been playing with chalk and in baby pools they brought out for us. i used to scoff at herrell’s ice scream (JP licks is wayyyy better, as any self respecting bostonian knows) but now that it’s been made and remade into allston cafe and subsequently refuge, i miss their live music and cushy seats, and mediocre ice cream. i hated allston as a kid. it wasn’t til high school that i finally started appreciating allston for it’s culture and diversity. and the mecca of young people that take over it’s streets come september.

i could reminisce for days about how allston has grown and changed and evolved. but i won’t bore you. all i’ll say is check it out and try to really see it. allston has a bad rep for being a shitty hipster breeding ground, but it actually has a ton of charm, cool restaurants, beautiful places and secrets tucked away, just waiting to be found.

Hey Allston, take a break from being the worst and go vote today!

allston:

It’s important, unlike getting high and playing acoustic Get Up Kids songs on your guitar for your not so enthused roommates!
