With a modest stipend, this Buy Curious gal has learned to stretch her dollar far. But we’re still feeling the pinch of the economy, specifically high gas prices and BART parking fees and tickets so much so, that it’s almost — but not quite — deterring us from shopping. But last weekend, after finally unchaining ourselves from the computer, we actually got out of the house, hit the pavement, and ducked into local shops, all for the benefit of you, dear reader. We’ve got the low-down on what’s where, plus a few stylish events for you to hit up this weekend. All after the jump…
Chillin happens at 111 Minna Saturday night. 
This Clarks sandal is comfortable and not completely fug. At Village Shoes. Marimekko tote available at Rockridge Home. The IRO biker jacket is ultra chic. Magnet’s got it. Try on new looks from Chie Mihara and sip champagne at Iniam, starting this Saturday.
