| Costumes, caramels, and Castro craziness- we're ready for spooky times and candy-coated fun this Halloween weekend. On Saturday night we're going to see our favorite local trip-hoppy/jazzy/hip-hoppy band(s), MOPED & Hi-Tech Issue at Amnesia. Check out our last-minute costume list. And don't forget to check your candy for wayward razor blades. Boo! |

PART I: SPLENDORA'S SHOPPING TOUR
For the next three weeks until the grand launch of our ever-so-popular holiday guide, we will be featuring some off-the-beaten-path gems that we think are the new shopping sanctuaries. Next week we'll be reporting from NYC, and the following week we'll highlight LA. So what are you waiting for? Hop in your roadster, plug in your iPod and take a ride. You're sure to be rewarded handsomely on this journey.
A LA FOLIE: Ooh-la-la lingerie, vintage-y jewels, and amazing accoutrements. Remember to stop by their trunk show this Sat. for personal bra fittings plus an early season sale.
SCANDINAVIAN DETAILS: Imported decor details for the hip at heart. We love the Marimekko coaster set & the swell (not scary) skull keychains. Perfect gifts.
PINK TANGERINE: This sensational Menlo shoppe carries chic resort wear from Calypso, Autumn Cashmere coziness, and tons of Tory Burch. Visit their sister store too, Le Cirque des Enfants, a chic boutique pour les bébés.
DELICIOUZ: Hot Bulga bags, impossible to find Repetto flats, & the best boots from L'Autre Chose live at this Walnut Creek star.
FLAUNT: If you can't decide between a pair of True Religion or Sienna M's favorite Serfontaine cords, pick up a bottle of the addictive Miss Marissa by Ebba perfume. It's an exceptional stocking stuffer.
POLISHED LOUNGE: If your tootsies are tired out from all of that shopping, make sure to drop by SOMA's Polished Lounge for a pampering manicure/pedicure.
