Still Life Clothing, located on Divisadero St. in the Nopa neighborhood of San Francisco is a must visit for great vintage finds and local designer wares. Kelly (pictured below) is super awesome at promoting emerging designers in the indie mart shows, and monthly designer series held at Still Life. Currently Please Dress Up is the featured designer for July. Kelly uses her creative talent to decorate the boutique to go along with the designer theme, right now it's a Paris theme with Eiffel towers, cute illustrations from the designers and baguettes hanging from the ceiling!! Next month yours truly (me!) will be the designer in focus, I can't wait to see what Kelly comes up with for the store!
