Add to Technorati Favorites The OC

Coming to the OC?? Drop me a note!

Shopping: Fashion Island/Newport (Neimans, Lululemon, etc.); South Coast Plaza/Costa Mesa (Bloomies, Marni, Nordstrom, Saks, Fendi, 3 LV’s!, etc.)   skip: high priced boutiques in Newport & Laguna Niguel, Irvine Spectrum, Mission Viejo Mall

Restaurants: Taiko/Irvine (Sushi), Maggianos/Costa Mesa (Italian), Cafe R&D/Newport, Ramos Cafe/SanJuanCapistrano (Brunch), El Ranchita/everywhere (Mexican), Gypsy Den/Costa Mesa, Native Foods/Aliso Viejo (Vegan), Banderas/CDM, The Loft @ Montage Resort/Laguna, …, skip: Salt Creek Grill, Savannah,

Beaches: Newport -> Huntington, any little known beach along PCH in Laguna, Ritz Beach,   skip: main beach in downtown Laguna

Nails: Modern Nail (just one!) in Orange off Katella Ave by Tustin Ave & 55 fwy

In My Humble Opinion:

Best Neiman Marcus: Fashion Island/Newport Beach (Atlanta needs improvement)

Best Saks Fifth Avenue: Las Vegas,  Atlanta (Mission Viejo needs improvement)

Bloomingdales: South Coast Plza/Costa Mesa,  NYC
