this week's steals
my settings
  the sunshine is here. get off your arse and march 'round the town to get your green on, or be prepared to get pinched. get carded, have a rebirth and be a shadow seeker with this list of monthly picks:

rebirth.
life after birth is nothing short of spectacular. but why not get back to fetal joy? find the answer with the design within reach womb chair ($4,856). the best thing since the bacelona, this lounge chair is clearly a poster-child for scandinavian modernism. 2299 alameda street. at 14th. 415.734.9172. www.dwr.com


glow green.
march is for getting green. make your pad smell sweet (or musky) and save a tree or two. le cherche midi candles are housed in 100% recycled pine boxes (which can be reused) and hand-blown glass. we're going to go eco and get conscious. available at www.lecherchemidi.com


get carded.
handwritten notes on personalized stationary is about as sweet and nostalgic as it gets. hello! lucky might give you a cavity this month. vintage-inspired "thank you's," "thinking of you's" and "make it to my wedding" cards are their forte. step it up and work on your cursive. 2343 3rd street. near 20th. 415.355.0008. www.hellolucky.com


instant coffee.
ever considered your morning cup to be the most important part of your day? blue bottle café is here to further your endearment. watch the magic elixir drip from a siphon bar snacking on a fresh ham and cheese broche, while reading about le cafe in one satisfying sip. 66 mint street. between jessie & mission. no phone available. www.bluebottlecoffee.net


shadow seeker.
lee friedlander is showing at the MOMA. over 400 pictures from the 50s to the present are on display for your pretty lil' eyes. friedlander, who's best known for his ability to capture american scenes, will take you to NYC and vegas in less than an hour. until may 18. 151 third street. between mission and howard. 415.357.4000. www.sfmoma.org


eye candy.
you were humiliated when they called you "four eyes" in the fourth grade. the kate spade readers collection (from $75) is a testament to just how adorable a girl in glasses can be. the throwback cat-eye "bi focals" are doctor's orders. 227 grant avenue. at post. 415.216.0880. www.katespade.com
