Sun's out!
Time to shimmer, socialize, shade your eyes, and scarf macarons.
Sunnies and sweets make the best collab. Obvi.
Watch out Glossier at Rhea's, there's another scrumptious and huh?!-inducing local fashion and food collab in our midst. On Tuesday, April 3rd, Les Deux—the coming together of sunglass label Westward Leaning and confectioner Chantal Guillon—debuts. The limited-edition sunnies come in a trio of tasty styles inspired by CG's most popular Parisian-meets-Cali macarons. Hello, Coffee Mint Wayfarer, Red Velvet Cat-Eye and Sparkling Champagne Aviator. The shades ($185–$205) are available at the patisserie's Hayes Valley shop through April 30th; and, ooh la la, each purchase comes with a complimentary box of six of the namesake sweets (two of each flavor). In other Westward Leaning news…the cool AF brand is set to open its first brick-and-mortar in Cow Hollow (in the former Les Lunes space) in mid April.

American Giant is officially in the men's pants biz.
And we're not talking sweatpants here. Au contraire, the Roughneck Pant ($125), a five-pocket style that's made of heavyweight canvas with a hint of stretch is the SF company's first bona fide pant. The jean-like bottoms are inspired by classic workwear (yay, durability) and made in Los Angeles with canvas milled in Georgia. Available in two shades, basalt and falcon, and with a keen attention to fit, the Roughneck, like all American Giant pieces, is designed to get shit done. And as our friend at AG put it: TL;DR these pantz are sexy as hell. Unsurprisingly, the utilitarian wonders pair perfectly with the greatest hoodie ever made. // Shop online at american-giant.com.

Pinrose gets misty with it.
Known for personality-driven scents ranging from wild to demure, San Francisco's Pinrose recently released a brilliant new product: Secret Genius Shimmer Mist ($42). Spritz on your body—décolleté, shoulders, even shins—for a moisturizing sheer pink and silvery sparkle. It's a buildable highlighter, shimmery and sex-ay. The fragrance Secret Genius is one of the brand's most popular thanks to a romantic blend of Madagascar vanilla, caramel and sandalwood. Hopefully the next mist will star our spirit animal scent Cuddle Punk. #innershimmer. // Available online and at select Sephora stores, pinrose.com
