I just finished RSVP’ing for a whole bunch of fantastically fattening food events at the upcoming SF CHEFS 2010 and was pondering what to wear. Just in the nick of time I see that SF Chic Fashion Week will be running through the weekend with a some stellar runway shows being offered. Saturday night’s soiree showcases the best-of-the-best while Sunday shines the light on aspiring student up & comers. Maybe I can pick up a frock at the vendor’s fair or at least some inspiration.
