If it's a fashionable way to spend, and happening in the Bay Area, we're talking about it on Shop Talk.

Picture this: You're on the rooftop of a hotel, sipping a cocktail, and talking about fashion and technology with your fellow fashion tribe. No, this isn't an episode of Sex & The City, but rather the upcoming StyleIt x Fashionista Social, happening this Sunday, June 28, from 1 to 4pm. Small bites, light drinks, and raffle round out the fete, while a Polaroid camera will capture you in your city chic attire.  //  Cova Rooftop, 655 Ellis St. (Tenderloin), register here; styleitapp.com.

Alyce on Grand and Cultivating Gardens in Oakland understand the need for some zen in your life. While shopping for your perfect summer outfit, on Sunday June 28, from 2:30 to 4pm, they will teach you how to "cultivate a small space scentual container garden for relaxation and stress reduction." Pair that with a beverage and sweet and savory treats, and you have the perfectly peaceful, perfumed event.  //  3223 Grand Ave. (Oakland), tickets available here.
