Get a sample of Rebecca Minkoff

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...

Are you ready for a good ol ‘Ho-down’?

No, it’s not that kind of ho-down (it’s not that kind of ho-down either). On Thursday December 3rd, San Francisco will play host to the Handmade Ho Down, a DIY fest with an Etsy edge (who just so happens to be a sponsor). The event will shopping event will have plenty of wares like clothing,...

R.I.P. American Apparel button-up shirt

I have this theory that a man could never have enough white button-up (or button-down, depending on how you look at it) shirts. That said, I am always on the hunt for the versatile piece of menswear. On a recent shopping excursion to American Apparel, I was surprised to see that they had a decent...

‘DNA’ pops up in San Francisco

This ain’t no mom and pop, craft camp accessories pop-up store. DNA (a.k.a. designers+artists) will be poppin’ up in San Francisco with their pop-up shop on Friday, November 6 – and it’s gonna be poppin’. The event started in New York and the concept is “to curate a multipurpose exhibition of emerging, avant-garde and contemporary...

Being seduced by Jeremys

Out of the hundreds of times I have been to San Francisco’s luxury discount store, Jeremys, I have bought a total of 12 things; half of which I have donated to Goodwill – with justifiable reason of course. I decided to go to the wood-grained retail outlet on Saturday, envisioning some sort of Margiela product...

Sponge bracelets are so hot right now

I get a lot of random press releases in my inbox. Every now and then, there is one item that is so worth writing about that I just can’t contain myself: Why didn’t anyone think of this earlier? This is pure genius. Perhaps these On The Cuff people should team up with the Snuggie people...

Barneys Warehouse Sale Chronicles Part III

One more day and I get paid. I plan on blowing that pay at the Barneys Warehouse Sale. That is a very good goal to have. Plus, the summer semester is over and after grading a bunch of essays and handling the the soul-sucking experience of an accelerated session, I deserve a thing or two…or...

Barneys Warehouse Sale Chronicles Part II

My two-year-old nephew Jacob decided to play a game while we were waiting around for my sister to decide which Louboutins she wanted. He would go to the shelves of luxe shoes in disarray, pick two shoes and he would come running to me with two shoes and say, “Uncle Digno, do these match?” For...

Barneys Warehouse Sale Chronicles Part I

The Barneys Warehouse Sale kicked off last Thursday and I wasn’t necessarily excited for it. I was more obsessed – no – I was haunted by it. I was counting down the days and in a way, I was dreading it. I was wondering if I would find anything. I was wondering if there would...
