What To Buy for $15 Million

As of May 1, 2008, these are all local homes priced over $3 million. I’m particularly fond of the $15 million beauty at 2510 Jackson Street, which you can see below. The magnificent home of manorial proportions reflects the refined aesthetics of an earlier era. An extensive renovation enhanced the home with the most [...]

Best in Black

I must admit that I didn’t know who Graeme Black was when I received the invitation to meet him and see his most recent collection at Saks Fifth Avenue recently. All I knew was that some of my chicest friends wear his designs, and since Saks was throwing a party for him, he definitely [...]

SFluxe was not one of the attendees at the Barack Obama funraiser at Ann and Gordon Getty’s Pacific Heights mansion last week (no, not that fundraiser…. it was the one where he didn’t make the unfortunate remarks about Guns-n-God) but we have Drew Altizer’s photos from the day, and can at least see what [...]
