As the balmy weather we’d just gotten used to makes a hasty retreat and subjects us to several consecutive days of (gasp!) sub-60-degree temperatures, it’s a prime time to take cover indoors. Luckily, that’s where the best sales and fashion events are this weekend.
Here what’s on our radar:
Start the weekend off right with a visit to 440 Brannan Studio for the SoMA indie fashion hub’s kill-two-birds-with-one-stone Inauguration – Valentine Party. Along with live music by David Ervin and themed drinks, the evening brings sweet deals on men’s and women’s apparel from local designers. During the event, Distilled clothing will be marked down 25 percent, while Gythan Mander and REVL pieces will go for 30 percent off. Apparel from gr.dano, OdileOdette and Üba will be discounted 50 percent.
