Boa

Stripes and polka dots abound at this cheerful Lawrence Village shop (there is another location in the Beach). “We’re not really into black,” admits Daphne Nissani, about the seven-year-old store she owns with her twin sister, Ofra. Lip-glossed students and young professionals gossip on their cellphones as they flip through rack upon rack of semi-formal dresses ($60–$140), retro-inspired halter dresses ($60–$140), floral Ts ($30–$35) and deep-V-neck knit tops ($40–$90). Trendy accessories include candy-coloured retro belts, beaded necklaces and bangles, most selling for $10 to $30. Loose-fitting tunic-style bamboo-fibre sweaters ($40–$80) come in solid colours and prints.
