If you've never attended a #ShopPru event you're really missing out! Twice a year the Huntington Arcade of the Prudential Center is transformed into a destination for an epic evening of shopping. They serve champagne alongside light bites from restaurants like 5 Napkin Burger and California Pizza Kitchen, and sweet treats from Sugarfina. You'll also find deals and events by your favorite Prudential Center retailers like Sephora, Club Monaco, Sam Edelman and more.


This year the Prudential Center welcomed Madewell, Oliver Peoples, and David's Tea to their impressive list of retailers. Madewell has always been one of my favorite places to shop for shoes and stripes (two of my favorite things) so I'm more than happy to see them expanding into the Prudential Center. Our visit to Oliver Peoples was my first experience with the brand and I'm in love! I had no idea the brand had such a rich history dating back to the 60s and Andy Warhol. If money were no object these Remick frames would have gone home with me that night!


If you work in or near the Prudential you've probably stopped into David's Tea for a midday pick-me-up. The Canadian-based tea company brought its expertise and knowledge stateside in 2011 and has been expanding ever since. The Prudential Center location is the 6th David's Tea location in the greater Boston area. I love David's Tea because of their friendly, down-to-earth approach to tea. We got a little education in iced tea from their store manager before leaving with our own iced tea tumblers. If you like iced tea, you'll love their collection of tumblers and accessories.

We ended our evening with dinner at Terra, the newest restaurant to open within Eataly at the Prudential Center. Inspired by authentic Italian cooking, the seasonal dishes here center around a wood-burning grill. We sipped on a fantastic sparkling rosé (Bollamatta Rosa, available in the wine shop!) and snacked on the freshest burrata, housemade blood sausage with salsa verde, and cured pork fat with rosemary and black pepper on fresh bread. It was a flavorful and indulgent meal to say the least! I'll definitely be heading back for dinner again soon.

We loved the earthy space at Terra so much we did a photo shoot later that week before the restaurant opened. Stay tuned for more from #ShopPru and our shoot at Terra Eataly!
