Appel and Frank: Shopping Event

December 14, 2011 By Filed Under: Events Leave a Comment

The ladies of Off Your Plate were lucky enough to get VIP access to Appel and Frank’s seasonal shopping event at the Regency Center in SF last week and we’re definitely overwhelmed at the amount of merchandise on display. An abundance of jewelry, clothing, handmade crafts, gifts to support a cause, and delish wine that doesn’t expire.

To my surprise most gifts were moderately priced and there seemed to be something for everyone. Off Your Plate’s favorite Bay Area Thirsty Girl, Leslie Sbrocco was there, dishing out drinks, and we snapped a pic with her and Joanna who picked up her book “The Simple & Savvy Wine Guide Book”. It pretty much made Joanna’s holiday season!
   
Some of my favorite vendors who were on display were Stella and Dot, where independent stylist Amy Kelly was there showing off the SF based branded jewelry, which goes with anything and all age groups—something that is hard for jewelry to do.  There were chocolate goodies by Jade Chocolates that kept me afloat after my free glass of wine, as well as cake pops by Sophie Buns Bakery.
          
All in all, a successful event for Appel and Frank, and definitely not the last! Check out their website to see where they will pop up next!
