Nineteenth-century engagement rings and ’70s Mexican tunics mingle with modern
CP Shades linen tops and Clare Vivier bags
at this enchanting, souk-like vintage-and-
new boutique.
The colorful selection of initial pillows, forget-me-knot rings and Bourbon perfume oil means you never have to give another boring housewarming (or hostess, or just-because) gift again.
Racks organized by cult-favorite
line (Acne, Rick
Owens, A.P.C.) and cases of armor-like Pamela Love cuffs
fill this spacious, fashion-forward sister to Azalea.
This is actually two stores in one: Magpie & Rye, which sells whimsical handmade tassel key chains and deerskin bucket bags, and Studio Choo, a florist popular among Lower Haight’s marrieds-to-be.
Finds like Derek Lam tops and Alex Woo rings here are both investment-worthy and altruistic, since profits benefit Bay Area charities.

Shops like this dreamy boutique—featuring delicate Kathleen Whitaker studs and Baggu leather pouches—are turning surfers’ hangout Outer
Sunset into the latest
hipster day-trip destination.
No one captures San Francisco’s boho-chic aesthetic like this celebrated local designer. Her metallic-thread sweaters, flowy dresses and vintagey quilts perfectly blend free-spirited and luxe.
