It's certainly not 1965 but it will be hard to tell when the mod fashions from the Swinging Sixties invade the streets and boutiques of San Francisco this fall. The spirit of the counter-cultural and sexual revolutions, which is deeply rooted in San Francisco, will be here again. More

Under a jade and coral gateway, you enter Chinatown- one of the largest Chinese quarters outside of Asia. From this juncture at Bush and Grant, you encounter streets thick with herbs, tea leaves, jade jewelery and wisdom hats that crowd amongst the singing crickets and clamor of both locals and tourists. Forget about parking. The area is best covered by foot. More

Slick Summer Styles in Your Own Backyard
It's June, and if you're in your thirties like me, you've been invited to at least one wedding this summer. You have absolutely nothing to wear, not a lot of time to trudge all over San Francisco, and you're on a budget. Don't be enticed by the easy way out; steer clear of department stores.

Sensible and saucy. And it's about time.
Imagine returning from a relaxing and much-needed vacation only to get pulled aside by customs for a random security check. You sigh. So much for staying relaxed. It's back to the real world. You brace yourself as the agent starts rifling through your bags, up-ending one of them. As your delicates and unmentionables come tumbling out, clean and dirty commingling, you feel your face flush as you think, "Damn! I'd meant to put those things away!" More

Vegan Style
Shopping for shoes is almost always a pleasurable activity, but for dedicated vegetarians, vegans, or those who simply won't wear animal products, it's often limited to a less-than-satisfying hunt through the bargain racks at Payless. Thanks to the internet, vegan shoes and accessories can now be purchased with relative ease - but the process bears the enormous caveat that buying shoes over the internet sucks.
