The Boston Latin School graduate will be covering pop culture and entertainment for the CNN Headline News channel. Regis, who founded the fashion, culture, and entertainment websites Swagger New York and Swagger Paris, aims to become a media personality on the order of Ryan Seacrest— but a hipper version, clad in APC, Sandro, and vintage pieces. Here he talks about his favorite places for leading the good life in Boston.... "I dabble at multiple spots for threads in Boston. Rag & B o ne (111 Newbury St., 617-536-6700; rag-bone.com) is always on the list, as is Barneys New York (Copley Place, 617-385-3300; barneys.com), but I find most of my goods at the SoWa V i ntage Market (460C H a rrison Ave.; sowavintage market.com), including one-of-a-kind jackets and tees from a seller named Gilbert White. He has the best eye for cool. Burnt orange is the color this fall, so I'll be looking for simple cardigans with clean cuts in that color, or one really sleek peacoat with leather trim. "Hotel 140 (140 Clarendon St.,617-585-5600; hotel140. com) is where I tell my friends to snag a room when they're downtown. Simple, clean, comfortable rooms that are affordable, and you're in the middle of everything. Plus, I grew up in the apartments above, so it's easy. "I have to stop by Flour ( 1 31 Clarendon St., 617-437- 7700; flourbakery.com) for their egg sandwich, as it is quite literally the best am eats on the East Coast. For dinner, Coppa (253 Shawmut Ave., 617-391- 0902; coppaboston.com) is a must when I'm back home. I love the vibe of that restau- rant—so laid-back—and the animelle ravioli is mouth- wateringly good. Pavement Coffeehouse (286 Newbury St., 617-859-9515; pavement coffeehouse.com) has become my spot for coffee in Boston. It's out of the spotlight, if you will, so it's a great place to catch up with friends." BC Lights, Camera, Action!
