I spent several hours yesterday on Polk Street in Russian Hill, brunching and browsing with a few awesome friends. I found this Lizzie Fortunato necklace at the lovely Anica and am weighing whether I can justify the price ($173). I’m sleeping on it a night or two! Isn’t it perfect with my Early Jewelry horseshoe necklace? [...]
Fourteen lovely new styles now available from Warby Parker, still just $95 each — but you’re on their mailing list and already knew that, didn’t you? (I wish they’d had these larger-opening frame styles when I was shopping! I instead ended up spending a fair bit more on a pair from SEE Eyewear. But they [...]
To everyone who’s taken my survey so far — thank you! I appreciate your feedback so much, and I must say, I’m flattered by your compliments. Thanks for being such great supporters. It means a lot. And it means that I’ll definitely start sharing more of my own style and proud finds here. Case in [...]
Of all the love-related jewelry out there, this one is the only piece that brought a smile to my face. Quite the statement! Ha! And for my more “casual relationships,” I’m sending Kate Spade e-valentines, each designed by thirty or so notable designers. (My favorites are the ones by Alice Lam and Allison Henry.) They [...]
For whatever reason, I think that luggage tags are a great gift — one of those use-every-once-in-a-while things that you’re glad you have when the time is right. These $12.50 tags are from SET Boutique, an online store of all fair-trade items that my friend Lindsay opened this summer. Lindsay is a former production artist for [...]

Shop Now How incredible is Alyson Fox? These photos she took of her newest necklaces blow me away — everything about them is perfect, from the models to the setting to the outfitting.

Have you seen Lemlem?

Pretty awesome. They go for $75 and up and are available [...]
Meet one of my favorite boutiques in San Francisco! Gravel & Gold stocks “things that are beautiful and well-made,” both new and vintage.

At Pivot Boutique in 2008, during the world’s most incredible eco fashion sale you’ve ever seen, I bought a pair of Manimal ribcage earrings marked down to $10. They came in a kraft paper box, spray painted with a stencil in gold paint, with a little feather inside for awesomeness. Aren’t sweet little touches like [...]
Last week, we published the second post in my “With Benefits” series at Commerce With A Conscience — this one about Warby Parker and its one-for-one donation model. You can read the full post here.

I’m in the market for a new tote — something classic and hearty, for casually carrying around my laptop and any occasional purchases alongside my (mini) purse. Beautiful shades and textures of brown leather keep catching my eye. The newest on the list is this Wedge Tote, handmade by Jill Harrell in San Francisco by [...]
New additions to Alyson Fox’s A Small Collection! I got to see a handful of Alyson’s new necklace designs at her Spartan trunk show in May and am glad to see many of them available online now. They’re a steal at only $30 a piece. But the best part? That the colored beads are those [...]

Earlier this summer while browsing the racks at Buy Definition with Grechen, I saw several underwear styles in the T by Alexander Wang line and thought, “Huh?” I didn’t understand them, but I didn’t think too much about them, either. But since then I’ve seen Esti Choi, the adorable and discerning owner of Buy Definition, [...]
