We love sparkly things, coffee with at the perfect temperature and the ideal sugar-to-milk ratio and cool stuff like this:

Fast Company profiled San Francisco-based reMade USA, whose recycled leather handbags are among our favorite new items of 2009.

East Bay company Heart’s Desire Jewelry has put all of its pretty, elegant eye candy on sale through Sept. 1. SF Indie Fashion readers (’cause you’re special) can take 50 percent off any of the limited edition and one-of-kind adornments with the discount code SFHDJ50.

We popped into Japantown’s New People last week and loved what we saw on level two (we’re suckers for Japanese street-inspired fashion). You can read Lorraine’s picks from her visit on 7×7 Glamwatch in 5 Things We Love at New People.

Speaking of Asian fashion, we hear SF Indie Fashion sponsor YesStyle will be opening its first U.S. store in San Francisco next month.

Bay Area-based underwear company PACT launched last week, and we’re already taken with their socially-responsible take on stylish skivvies. You can read a little more about this new, innovative company on SF Unzipped.

SF Indie Fashion friend Dream Sequins talks shop with Krista Bachmeier of Light Vision (a San Francisco-based online retailer we are clearly just a little obsessed with at the moment). We dig.

Reminding us that San Francisco independent fashion wasn’t born yesterday, the Chron’s Style Section has a lovely little profile of longtime local label Weston Wear, best know for versatile, go-anywhere dresses that flatter all body shapes.

P.S. Great local fashion events are happening today. Check out the SF Indie Fashion Calendar for the details.
