Don't be a Costume Clone
By Jialin Luh (Sep 23, 2009)
This Halloween, rather than purchasing that cheesy costume-in-a-bag, take the originality route. It’s easy in San Francisco.More
Spice + Nice
By Jialin Luh (Sep 17, 2009)
[b]Shotwell[/b] may seem like an odd name for a shop on Grant between Banana Republic and Chinatown, but it’s no mystery the young establishment already has a loyal following. With a refreshing mix of vintage and edgy international and local designers, consider Shotwell a prerequisite for the discerning style maven looking for something spicier than an outfit ripped out of an Urban Outfitters catalog.More
Local Teachers Win Shopping Sprees, Classroom Funds
By Jialin Luh (Sep 02, 2009)
Everyday we’re bombarded with dismal headlines about record jobless rates, seemingly never ending budget deficits, terror threats and crime. Amidst the doom and gloom, there are still people and organizations doing positive things, keeping a glimmer of hope alive (as cliché as that sounds). A shining example: three Bay Area teachers recently won donations for classroom supplies and shopping sprees for wardrobe makeovers made possible by nonprofit [b]Adopt-a-Classroom[/b], apparel clothing [b]Jones New York[/b] and [b]Macy’s[/b].More

Father’s Day is little over a week away. Maybe you count yourself among the 9.4% nationally unemployed (according to stats as of June 5). Or maybe you’re just pinching pennies, saving for a rainy day. Or hell, maybe you’re one of those people who doesn’t feel the need to spend money to let the dads in your life know you find them endearing. Whatever your philosophy, there’s still time and ways to make this Father’s Day memorable without breaking the bank while offering a San Francisco bent to things and supporting local businesses.More

By Jialin Luh (Feb 27, 2009)
For being dubbed “man’s best friend”, sadly more dogs than we’d like to think are abused, neglected, or abandoned for whatever fate might befall them. Luckily, there are truly caring, responsible organizations like [b]Grateful Dogs Rescue[/b] that take in dogs and put pooch welfare first.More

Occasions For Being Merry and Maybe Even Finding Gifts
By Jialin Luh (Oct 28, 2008)
The winter holiday season can be at turns trying and filled with merriment. There is much to stress about -- which holiday party invitations to accept or decline, what dish to bring to the holiday gathering, how to stave off the pounds, how to balance your gift-giving spirit with the desire to stay on top of your finances and how to survive family gatherings. With incessant reminders and proclamations about the dismal state of the economy, San Francisco has not been spared from the crunch. But our vibrant city has much to offer this holiday season to lift you out of the blues.More
Treasure Trove at Night
By Jialin Luh (Sep 17, 2008)
Every time I return to our beautiful city from a jaunt in The Big Apple I find myself wishing there were more unique concept stores and non-chains open in the later evening hours. Enter Guruguru, open seven days a week from 4pmish to 10:30pmish for the night owls, early lushes and appreciators of aesthetically pleasing objects.More
