Fall Colors for Your Nails
If you're as addicted to nail polish as we are, then you'll love these new fall trends from Lux SF nail salon in Hayes Valley. We're obsessed with the new Deborah Lippmann “She Wolf," a gorgeous gray taupe infused with biotin, green tea, and aucomea. If you need more bang for your buck, check out the Smith & Cult three-pack, which includes Filth Noir, an opaque dark burgundy-plum, Feed The Rich, an opaque dark teal green, and Regret the Moon, an opaque sweet creme. All the polishes are formulated without dibutyl, formaldehyde, or any other chemicals to keep your nails cute and healthy. // 701 Sutter Street, luxsf.net
Make Your Own Holiday Apparel
This holiday season, don't be afraid to get your hands dirty. On November 15th, The Podolls will host “Indigo and Natural Dye Techniques” with Matt Katsaros, founder of The Flint Outdoors. Matt is well-known in the Bay Area for his handmade aprons, backpacks, and pocket notebooks, and for his talent in the shibori technique, the Japanese art of dyeing. In this workshop he will teach how to dye your own items and how to add a shade of indigo to any closet. // The Podolls, 3985 24th Street, shopthepodolls.com
