Peek-a-Boo

Look Boutique

Hey, didn’t anyone tell you that it’s rude to stare?

Look Boutique doesn’t mind. In fact, the newest peep show in the Tendernob loves the attention.

An enticing storefront beckons gawkers inside the minimalist art gallery/boutique, where every four to six weeks owner Jessica Silverman curates a tightly edited combo of fashion, books, music, and art. In rotation now: delicately adorned dresses by Heimstone; cheeky House of Holland tees; and impeccably tailored pieces by San Francisco’s youngest protege, Zoe Alexander.

Accessories addicts gaze longingly upon jewelry by Giles & Brother, Kim Ann Foxman, and Knot 2 Much 2 Ask. Get all eyes on your digits with Bernhard Willhelm’s glam-rock line of metallic nail polishes. And fixate on local artist/bass player Mary Elizabeth Yarbrough’s punchy work at adjoining Silverman Gallery.

Better yet, take home a picture. It’ll last longer.

Look Boutique, 804 Sutter Street, at Jones Street (415-255-9508 or look-boutique.com).
