Gear: Fifty Seven Thirty Three

Support female empowerment with this trio of chick-rocking, individually screen-printed designs (on hoodies, tees, tanks, even dresses) from Oakland's 5733: 20s/30s Chinese-American film star Anna May Wong sucking down a cig, a stenciled Japanese lady flashing a peace sign, and a fiercely afro'd Pam Grier. Power to the she-ple.

Triple your thoughtfulness with this Italian-made asymmetrical ring stack: an 18-karat gold band atop a silver band bearing two black garnet chunks, atop another silver band w/ a big ol' cubic zirconia, which she's now 66.66% more likely to carelessly mistake for a diamond.

Gear/Accessories: Hlaska

2033 Fillmore St; 415.440.1999

The high-end SF man-satchelists make chick stuff too, including ritzy, wave-inspired handbags/clutches in "undulating" top-stitched blue and black leather, and the cultivated "Presidio" collection: structurally designed, magnetically closed sacks and wallets in a red so evocative of the GG Bridge, you'll have to talk her down off it when Gossip Girl is inevitably canceled.
