Something Old, Something New...

No matter how fickle the fashion world can be, vintage never seems to go out of style. Case in point: the hugely successful consignment chain Second Time Around. It’s recently expanded to a seventh store in Beacon Hill, on Charles Street. Manager Marisa Mac¬Naughton says the new store carries the same high-end labels that fill the racks of their other shops, in a smaller space. Items in each of the stores reflect the location’s neighborhood, since it’s mostly neighbors who come to sell, adds MacNaughton. So if Beacon Hill style is your thing, this is the spot to check out. 99 Charles St., (617-227-0049). www.secondtimearound.net
