San Francisco Sales January 2013

We’re about two weeks into the thick of resolution mania and suddenly trying to get into a cycle class is like trying to get a table at The French Laundry, people are juicing left and right, and you’re getting serious glares from co-workers whilst eating anything that involves a carbohydrate. But, if there is one resolution we can get behind 100%, it would be trying to become a savvier spender.

So, whether you’re feeling grouchy from all that paleo-bread you’ve been eating, or hungry for anything that isn’t liquid and made from root vegetables, these five sales are sure to lift your spirit in a snap.

The Mercantile Shop

If there was a sale worth a trip all the way to wine country, this one would be it. Book it straight to Healdsburg for this quaint shop’s January savings. A modern-day general store, The Mercantile Shop is a haven for expertly curated threads and baubles alike, most of which come from a small roster of Cali designers. Score 10% to 50% off storewide!

The Mercantile Shop, 333 Center Street (between Plaza and West Mattheson streets), Healdsburg; 707-473-0617.

Nida

Need a little Euro-chic something in you life? Us, too. Which is why we're booking it to Hayes Valley boutique Nida for some ma-jor sales. With up to 50% off luxe labels like Carven and IRO for the ladies, and Aspesi and Rick Tailor for the gents, we might have to put our actual European vacay dreams on the back burner in order to shop these well-traveled threads.

Nida, 544 Hayes Street (between Laguna and Octavia streets); 415-552-4670.

Ashbury Skies

For those of you who have cleaned out your closet, bravo! Celebrate by restocking your stash with Ashbury Skies online shoe sale. Score a new pair of Dolce Vita loafers, Jeffrey Campbell pumps, and lots more, all for up to 50% off at the local e-tailer site.

Azalea

While we hardly need an excuse to hit the Hayes Valley shopping circuit, a fabulous sale at one of our all-time favorite outfitters, Azalea, is just the thing to get us out the door. Peruse cozy knits and handsome Scotch & Soda bowties, all while staying true to your money-saving resolutions! Score 30% to 50% off with an additional 20% off your total purchase!

Azalea, 411 Hayes Street (at Gough Street); 415-861-9888.

Conifer

Conifer’s always-impressive array of rustic and minimalist designs has made it a go-to for finding the perfect gifts for our besties...and ourselves! So, with 30% to 50% off storewide — including shoes — we are pretty much freaking out over this sale! Not to mention that starting January 15, everything will be half off. Now you’re freaking out, too, huh?

Conifer, 2848 Webster Street (at Union Street); 415-922-1892.
