If this isn't already on your radar, take note now. One weekend, a blowout sale and a 2-acre warehouse with aisle upon aisle of clothes, jewelry, books, home decor, appliances, tools and more. The famous White Elephant Sale presented by the Oakland Museum Women's Board is back in town. If the Alameda Flea Market is your thing, trek across the bridge for this event and make a beeline for the clothes.

Designers ponder their wares. SF's Museum of Craft + Design will present the US debut of "Designers on Jewelry: 12 Years of Jewelry Production by Chi ha paura…?." The show will feature more than 70 pieces of jewelry created by 51 internationally-renowned designers, offering an imaginative, thought-provoking and sometimes humorous vision of contemporary jewelry.

Put on some pretty underthings. Agent Provocateur's Union Square boutique is having a winter sale with their favorite items from the past season discounted up to 50 percent off. From sheer negligees and garter belts to extravagant bra and panty sets, you'll give your man many a reason to swoon.

No one can resist a little Betsey Johnson. Now's your chance to stop by her Union Square boutique and meet the eccentric designer in person. Betsey will be there to share her story about being a breast cancer survivor and will also introduce her latest collection. Come ready with questions and money to burn (you'll enjoy special in-store discounts), and don't forget to cartwheel.

Join in the spirit of the holiday season and support Raphael House at this year's Eat, Drink and Be Hopeful party. The evening's food, wine and fashion event will benefit the nonprofit's social services programs. Indulge in delicious bites, sip a glass of vino and take solace in your support of a good cause.

Support local talent. Head to Mezzanine for an epic night of fashion, art, music and live performance. 180 painters/photographers, 80 fashion designers, live painting, video installations and music by DJs Deevice, Felina, Dirtyhertz, Rondo Brothers, LARON, Eddy Bauer, Irene Hernandez-Feiks and more.
