Talk about a power couple. When beloved Oakland retailer/fashion mentor/Throughline honoree Sherri McMullen teams up with chic eco-lodging 1 Hotel for a holiday pop-up, it's an RSVP (hella) yes. You're all invited to check out McMullen's designer offerings at the Embarcadero hotel for two upcoming weekends.
What'll be on the racks? A well-edited selection of styles from sought-after global labels (Khaite, The Row, Proenza Schouler, Dries Van Noten, Altuzarra, Simkhai and Harwell Godfrey jewelry) along with pieces from buzzy, next-gen designers a la Christopher John Rogers, Bode, Sloan, and Diotima.
McMullen herself can't wait to get the fashion party started: "Our hope is that it gives visitors a chance to discover all of the amazing designers we've curated at McMullen and imparts a festive spirit when gathering with friends and loved ones this season." // 10am to 5pm, Friday through Sunday, December 8-10 and December 15-17; 1 Hotel: 8 Mission St. (Embarcadero), shopmcmullen.com

Elegant gifters, hightail it to the Mission where fashion-girl favorite Kamperett will be holding a holiday pop-up.

Look out for jewelry from Beatriz Palacios and Le Sel, skincare from Vintner's Daughter, chocolate from Deux Cranes, tea from Leaves and Flowers, art and poetry books by Pallas, and drinks and nibbles from Renee Friedrich. After all, Kamperett designers Anna Chiu and Valerie Santillo are queens of aesthetically pleasing everything.
