Banana Republic Wants To Help San Franciscans Fall in Love

Banana Republic is partnering with Match.com to host host eight "meet and greets" for Match.com members in four cities only, and San Francisco is one of the lucky targets of the retailer's "Love" campaign.

As part of the effort, blogger Joy Cho of Oh Joy! will be showing you how its done by recreating her first date with her husband on the brand's Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter pages with the hashtag #BRlove. Keep an eye on your social networks (and us, of course) to find out when the SF meetup will be. There's nothing like falling in love over a perfect row of chambray button downs.
