Summer events for the boho-chic chicks who like to be outdoors
This boho-chic chick is adventurous yet chill and down to earth. Her style choices often boil down to comfort, texture and color — no dry-cleaning-only pieces are allowed in her closet. Regular hangouts include Snug Harbor (multiple nights a week), Common Market and the Matthews Community Farmers Market on Saturday mornings.
