Happy Stinkintines Day!

JUST KIDDING!! We LOVE LOVE LOVE Valentines day here at Lavish. Any excuse to bring cute red and pink hearts in the store we jump at!

My favorite part is finding that perfect Valentines card!



What to get the ladies???
Well, first off don’t you dare pick up a bouquet of wilty roses from Safeway! Treck down to Hayes Valley and hit up Birch (www.birchsf.com) - a beautiful flower shop down the street from us that wouldn’t dare put cellophane around your bouquet!


If you're not in Hayes Valley, another favorite of mine is Church Street Flowers. Whether your spending $20 or $200- your bound to walk out with a beautiful bouquet. These ladies know how to put an arrangement together! (www.churchstreetflowers.com)


Next Stop, Lavish ofcourse! We pretty much have all the perfect Valentines gifts for all those lovely ladies in your life. The soon-to-be girlfriend, long time wifey, or sweet lil’ grams.

Lollia Bubble Bath. Aside from the bubble bath smelling so lovely, just take a look at the cute bottle! (insert flowers after buuble bath is gone)


Heart Shaped Bowls to mix up something sweet.


Heart shaped Flask.


Recycled Wood Frame- (Insert cute photo of you two)


Kobo Candles. Bound to set the mood and make your house smell ammmmazinggg.




Don't Forget about the GREAT SAN FRANCISCO PILLOW FIGHT!

We're Moving!

Perhaps it's not a surprise to you that we will be moving down the street because here at Lavish we LOVE LOVE LOVE c-h-a-n-g-e. Always switching it up and keeping it fresh as I like to say ; )

Anyway, we will be moving down a few doors into our sister stores space (Fiddlesticks @ 508 hayes street) When we re-open on Saturday, January 23rd you should be delightfully surprised with the small changes seen around the store. We are doubling up on the cute adult and home merchandise and handing over all our baby gear to Fiddlesticks. And come February we have at least a dozen new womens clothing designers to be featured on our racks and your old Lavish favorites like She-Bible and Sanctuary will be making a return of-course.

LOOK! We're only moving 148 feet...

Hayes Valley Block Party!!!

this FRIDAY, December 4th from 6-9pm.

We have secured our resident DJ to spin for his 7th year in a row (DJ JoLu in the house!!!), and we just finished our ingredient list for our now famous SPIKED CIDER. So come on down, listen to some tunes, warm your bellie with a cup of cider & cross off a few people on your holiday list.

LOTS of good eats have sprouted up in the neighborhood over the past few years, so make reservations. Some of our favorites: Bar Jules, Altano Cafe & Citizen Cake!

Parking tip: the lot at Grove @ Gough is your best bet. Or park a few blocks away & walk.

See you Friday nite!!!

Wrapping Paper


Yummy cupcake ornaments!

Sita Rupe - Local Artist

I just finished an installation of our local resident Sita Rupe's artwork, and I had to share...cuz it's really whimsical, colorful & cheerful. Sita takes wood panels, found paper & creates a masterpiece everytime.

And really, her work is perfect for any room in your home. A tiny piece for the bathroom or entry way, several pieces grouped together for your bedroom or living room...and most definitely a few pieces for the kid's room. They are a great gift, especially as we approach the holiday season. I just sold one today as a wedding gift. Prices range from $20 - $185 a piece. And besides, I know you all want to support those local artists!!! So all you locals, come check it out.

The Perfect Black Dress...

The perfect black dress that you’ve been looking for your entire life awaits you at Lavish. Ooohhh you want to know the designer??? I wanted to keep this a secret but Chronicle is running an article this week in the style section featuring this local designer- so I may as well spill it. OK OK… It’s She-Bible!!!!


She-Bible has managed to design a dress that is flattering, stylish and versatile- perhaps the three best things a dress can be all at once. “The Classic” Black dress is simply a necessity in any woman’s closet.

Don’t worry, She-Bible doesn’t stop there- they have an entire collection of city-chic duds including uber cozy sweatshirts, flirty dresses and tops. Take a look of what’s to come in November!
