Childhood friends Karen Appel and Jody Frank have been teaming up to host large-scale shopping events all around San Francisco for the last several years. Appel & Frank’s series of high-end curated trunk shows fall into two categories: Babes & Babies, which brings together 65 local purveyors of unique items for children under five, and fashion events that cater to stylish women with an eye out for a steal. Seminars, speakers and a raffle round out the festivities, and tickets are usually under $10 in advance and at the door. Imagine a farmer’s market for fashion, chock full of everything that expecting moms and the fashion-forward set could need. Don’t forget to snag a gift bag on your way out!
