Wanelo's Deena Varshavskaya's top Bay Area spots
Founder and CEO of Wanelo keeps fit at EHS Pilates, catches the sunrise at Rodeo Beach, relaxes at Mizu Spa
The large, round, stuffed animals are but one example of the millions of products from the 200,000-plus stores beloved by Wanelo's 10 million users, predominantly young women who spend an average 50 minutes a day on the platform scoping products, saving them to collections, creating wish lists and sharing new finds.
[...] the things we wear, the things we put in our houses, all of that literally is expressing our creative side - and it's entertainment, Varshavskaya said on a recent weekday afternoon, clad in Aritzia faux-leather pants, boots from Shoebiz and a whimsical Wildfox pony sweatshirt that she found on Wanelo.
Just like her fashion tastes, her favorite Bay Area spots are an eclectic mix.

Pelican Inn, 10 Pacific Way, Muir Beach, Marin: "It definitely has a very authentic English pub feel that is very hard to find in San Francisco, and I think it's an amazing, surprising romantic date just because it looks like nothing you'd find anywhere else in the city."
