Amid beach jaunts, dim sum, tea gardens, museums, and street karoke (watching not doing) I managed to squeeze in a little retail research (makes it sound purposeful, yes) while the girlies and I were in S.F. My hit list: March, Hudson Grace (both above), The Future Perfect, General Store, and Heath (I'll share pics tomorrow).

(Oh who am I kidding, "retail research" was at the tippy top of my trip to do list. I mean let's get real here.)

The shops did not disappoint. In fact, I'm still marveling over every. damn. thing. at March. Truly that place is the most exquisite, perfectly edited, gorgeously merchandised store I've entered. (And I've entered a lot of stores in my time). If you are in the city I would highly recommend.
