All fashion-minded eyes may be on New York this week, but there’s still much to love right here in good ‘ole SF. A few examples:

The Princess Project has kicked off its 2010 dress drive. Check here for Bay Area drop-off locations and stay tuned for upcoming information about additional events.

The Brooklyn Circus brings something for the ladies to the Fillmore shop – for the very first time. Now in store, you’ll find the elephant earrings shown here. Even better, they’re handmade and exclusively available in San Francisco.

San Francisco native Patrik Ervell impresses Anna Wintour at New York Fashion Week. Via 7×7 Glamwatch.

Speaking of San Francisco natives and New York Fashion Week, Metier has the scoop on the mayhem outside the Alexander Wang show on Saturday.

Gold & Citrus just released its latest collection of delectable baubles. Dubbed Show Some Skin, it features feathers and lots of gold.

If you’re looking for spring dresses, Simply Chic has a slew of new styles priced under $80.

Today only, you can enter to win a dress from Amanda Archer, a once-local designer who’s moved on to Portland (and soon, Chicago from there, we hear). It’s a great chance to own one of this independent designer’s feminine dresses.

The Seventh Heart declares that comfort is the new luxury.

SF Unzipped reminds us that we really need to go see the Cartier & America exhibit on view at the Palace of the Legion of Honor.

We tend to agree with The Finer Dandy that Kell on Earth may be just what Bravo needs most right now.

A Cheer for Cashmere: Souchi at Metier

Designer Suzi Johnson may currently call Portland home, but she made the first sweater in what would become the coveted Souchi collection in San Francisco, so we’ll happily still claim her as our own.

Best known for impossibly soft cashmere sweaters and hand-crafted knits, Johnson brings Souchi back to the City by the Bay this weekend for a trunk show at Metier.

Peep all the details below…
