I can’t think of a better way to spend my morning than visiting with Tina Burgos, the founder and owner behind Covet+Lou, a clothing boutique in Needham, MA. You may recognize Tina from the days when she co owned Stel’s on Newbury Street. Stel’s is where I met Tina and continued to follow her ever since.
Covet+Lou is Tina’s new journey. The store is a direct reflection of her style, passion, and commitment to offering inspiring designers with unique stories. The minute you walk into her shop you immediately know you have landed someplace special. It is a space offering something new . You get the feeling you are walking into someone’s closet. A closet you will find interesting! Covet+Lou is a breath of fresh air. Discovering new brands is so welcomed! The clothing is simply displayed only complimented by vintage finds that may be perfect for your home or to wrap up as a gift. At the moment, everything is bright, patterned, and spring ready.

My time with Tina covered every topic from kids, shops, blogs, how to change the world, fashion, and just life. You can’t help but feel energized after spending time with Tina. Her style is authentic and appears effortless. She rocks it with confidence. One of the many reasons I admire Tina is for her ability to make everything her own. She is more than the woman behind Covet+Lou. She is wife, a mother, and an entrepreneur. From what I can see, she is doing it with confidence, determination, and grace.
I explored the fashions, learned about the inspiration behind each label, and walked away committed to the less is more approach. We need to support designers who combine craftsmanship, art, integrity, passion, and environmental awareness.

Covet+Lou is bringing to you a place to shop and feel connected. Tina is a welcoming encyclopedia of fashion knowledge. She embraces what she is showcasing and doesn’t have fillers. Covet+Lou is a must to visit in person if you are so lucky but rest assured Covet+ Lou is available worldwide online with a click of a button. She has a cult following and I am right there with them!

isostilo was like a child in a candy store. Bouncing from one piece to another. Here are few highlighted brands and pieces that I love:

NO.6 is known for their clogs but you should get to know their clothes. NO. 6 designs unique pieces with a feminine edge. Tina introduced me to N0.6 seven years ago with my first pair of clogs. I still wear them! Timeless design is all I am saying!

A De’tacher means to be detached . The pieces are designed with an aesthetic that demands appreciation. This line is meant to be layered which gives the pieces endless possibilities. Two stand out pieces: The Conor Polo in sky and black along with the Sequoia Pullover in orange cream and orange are perfection. Investment pieces but lifers! Both pieces made in Peru.

Woven basket bag from Brother Vellies is the perfect bag for summer. This unique piece is a subtle style statement. It also timeless!

Hansel from Basel’s soft white embroidered cotton blouse is sexy but tasteful with detailing that can’t be overlooked. A summer basic to be worn with everything. Hansel from Basel is out of Los Angeles created by artist turned designer, Hannah Byun.
