Want to see why I love living here so much? Read this, written by my roommate.

I need to go shopping tonight for long underwear. Last fall, I found some great silks at Filene's Basement, so that's where I'll be starting. Where else should I consider if I strike out there?

(REI and EMS are on my list, but they won't have anything on sale at this point, so they're backups.)

(Also, gosh, I hate shopping.)

I don't want to spend $500 on a coat, but the $500 long wool coats at Filene's Basement today sure did make me lust after them.
