Seven Favorite Things: Local, Hand-Crafted Jewelry from Sarah Swell
We have a new East Bay obsession: Sarah Swell jewelry. The Oakland-based artisan line was launched in 2008 by owner and sole designer, Sarah Greenberg.
Look of the Week: Men's Spring Shoes in 50 Shades of Red
From bricks to brights, washes of vermillion are emerging as one of spring's biggest men's shoe trends.
Street Style Report: A Jeremy's Buyer Shows Us Four Spring Looks, in Nob Hill
We caught up with master thrifter and Jeremy's assistant buyer, Roderick Huntly Jr., to see what he's mixing up this spring.
Seven Favorite Things: Spring/Summer '13 Kicks from Freda Salvador
We like to think local designers, Megan Papay and Cristina Palomo, launched Freda Salvador specifically with the SF customer in mind. The luxe shoe line, which officially launched last fall, focuses only on flats and boots -- ideal for walking hills and riding bikes around SF.
Look of the Week: Seven Easy DIY Hair Tutorials
First there was the miracle sock bun. Since then, a flood of hair tutorials have surfaced all over YouTube, Pinterest, the beauty blogosphere and beyond. It's actually a little overwhelming, so we scoured the net and found seven DIY 'dos that are definitely worth trying.
Street Style Report: Chic Black and White with Killer Accent Wedges, in North Beach
Local copywriter and proud momma Katie N. says she starts every day with "a hug, kiss and high-five–always in that order," from her three-year-old boy. She also said she makes sure to take a little time every morning for herself and likes to dress up, mixing vintage favorites with edgy, modern pieces.
We love how her budget-savvy look (see below) pairs chic black-and-white with a bold pant stripe and fun accent wedges.
Seven Favorite Things: The Curiosity Shoppe's Store Closing Sale
Derek Fagerstrom and Lauren Smith, have decided to close up their quirky and beloved Mission design mecca, The Curiosity Shoppe. They've stated it's not for financial reasons, but rather, that's it's just time to move on and embrace other creative endeavors (Pop-Up Magazine, for one).
With a city (and then some) who will miss them dearly, plus a major Target collaboration under their belts, we'd say they have a lot to be proud of as they close up the 'Shoppe.
Look of the Week: The Best Lingerie for Valentine's Day
Add a little va-va-voom to your February 14th with some oh-so steamy lingerie. Here are a few of our favorites.
Street Style Report: A Chic Weekend Brunch Look, at Nopa
Last weekend, we spotted Trinh Nguyen, exiting Nopa after a delectable brunch. (She says the Custard French Toast is a must-order.) Trinh works as a structural engineer and says her style is "super corporate," but we beg to differ. We loved her bright, patterned dress, flawless hair, and her unique, yellow-gold and fancy pink diamond engagement ring (pictured below).
Seven Favorite Things: Non-Lovey V-Day Gifts from GAMA-GO
Who say's Valentine's Day is only for lovers? For those avoiding Cupid's arrow -- but still in the gifting mood -- check out these non-lovey, super clever and highly affordable gifts from the SF-based design team at GAMA-GO.
