We've named our top five shoe stores in San Francisco where you can successfully pick your next favorite pair.Read More
Julia Millay Walsh | November 7, 2011 12:55 pmIf there's one common denominator between all of SF's unique ladies (and gents), it's that we don't leave the house without a scarf wrapped around our necks or stashed in our handbags; the city's weather has never been awarded for consistency.

Just launched at Outside Lands this year, the SF-based label churns out hip, urban-chic neckwear like infinity scarves and original scarf-hoodie creations that are so perfect for the city's bipolar weather, you'll be tempted to order them in bulk.Read More
Julia Millay Walsh | November 7, 2011 8:15 amThough you may still have a pumpkin lingering on your stoop — scratch that: fire escape — the holiday gift guide season is upon us! As any woman knows, you can never go wrong by wrapping up a fine piece of jewelry for your lady, be it a girlfriend, sister, mother, cousin, or friend. While we all have our own tastes when it comes to baubles and bling (statement necklaces aren't for everyone), delicate pieces are nearly foolproof.Read More

Julia Millay Walsh | November 4, 2011 8:00 amSelf-proclaimed Bay Area-based shoe buffs Mary Sue Papale and Yvette Turner launched their brand-new ecommerce shop, Ashbury Skies, earlier this year, bringing us the flyest footwear from independent designers like Jeffrey Campbell, Dolce Vita, and a host of the under-the-radar labels. My friends at Refinery29 caught up with the ladies early last month to hear all about their new venture, and now I'm delving a little deeper to learn about their lives as San Francisco-based business owners, what local spots they love, and more! Catch our interview below.Read More

Julia Millay Walsh | November 3, 2011 12:17 pmIn an interview in Matchbook magazine's latest issue, Kate and Andy Spade reveal that they've had their eyes set on SF! Asked if they would ever consider moving somewhere new, perhaps the left coast, Andy admits, "I think San Francisco or somewhere near San Francisco we would consider and we have considered." Since the couple is out of the fashion game, there's nothing keeping them in NYC, huh?Read More

Nancy Einhart | November 3, 2011 8:00 amBed and breakfasts sound romantic in theory, but eating with strangers and sleeping on Laura Ashley linens isn't really my thing. If you're not feeling the frou frou either, then book a bungalow at Manka's Inverness Lodge, an Arts and Crafts-style getaway tucked away in the foggy forests near Tomales Bay. The perfect mix of luxury without pretension, Manka's blends Marin County elegance with rustic, hip hunting lodge style.Read More
