Venus Envy

Adam’s apples, Y chromosomes. Wanting things you don’t have isn’t healthy for anyone.

Scoring unique accessories made just for you is a much smarter bet.

For that, head to Venus Superstar (the beloved indie boutique that used to be on Sutter Street just moved inside Backspace on Divisadero), where local jewelry designer-artist-stylist Rebecca Vandersteen cures inferiority complexes with girly-tough creations.

Halo is a bohemian-chic crown that befits any modern warrior princess. You’ll look pretty as a peahen in punky chandelier earrings with delicate feathers and semiprecious stones. Also on offer: gimme-gimme pieces from indie designers like Alisha Trimble, Pretty Trashy, and Ginne. If you need an extra boost, commission Vandersteen to do a custom design.

That she personally decorates every single box or bag that leaves the shop is almost gravy.

What’s not to love about being a girl?
