I tend to take random pictures on my Blackberry and never know what the hell to do with them. Then it donned on me, “Why don’t I just post them on my blog as enjoyable filler?”

It’s not often that we get sample sales here in San Francisco. And that is really unfortunate. Very unfortunate. Very, very, very unfortunate. Unfair even.
My bitterness aside, you better hop on this Rebecca Minkoff sample sale. The handbag designer will have items on sale at 111 Minna Gallery, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday [...]
