I stopped to chat with these ladies on Exchange Street - in matching black pants and boots - true winter staples. They’re working in Portland for a month and were out “exploring the city”. Of course I told them to check out Fore Front Fashion in case they wanted to know where they should shop.
I’ve always wanted a 3/4 length winter coat but have always considered them impractical for Maine winters. But since it’s been practically balmy this year, I was very envious of this camel coat. A sweater and wrist warmers are a smart addition, just in case it ever does cool down. Her perfectly worn Bean Boots were a hand-me-down from Mom.
Dads can only have so many socks, ties and Dean Koontz novels. Here’s some super special holiday gifts that your Pops will appreciate.
A custom shirt from Peter Renney’s. It’s the proper way to thank him for your college education.
Take him for a night on the town and see the Piano Man at the State. (And toss back a few cans of Schlitz at Empire beforehand.)
A new toolbox from Aubuchon Hardware. Cause Dad’s fix things.
Rabbit fur gloves from Joseph’s. He’ll never look at outerwear accessories the same.
Bacon butter crunch truffles from Dean’s Sweets.
A gift certificate to Arabica so he can read his morning paper in peace.
