FASHIONS EN FUEGO!

Fresh Produce Handpicked just opened a new charming store in the original Balboa Island firehouse.

Owners Deanna Frieze and Charlie Rohre perfectly restored the vacant building built in the 1930s to display Fresh Produce's versatile and vibrant collection of women and children's apparel.

They even kept the original firehouse garage door, now modernized with a remote control opener. Once again, the firehouse, bursting with character, is a treasured part of the community.

The new venue on Balboa Island perfectly sums up the company's breezy, feminine and fun style. Fresh Produce Sportswear features a colorful palette, comfortable fabrics and seasonally inspired printed designs.

Fresh Produce's active wear clothing offers flattering cut tees, tanks, shirts, skirts, pants, jackets, dresses, lounge wear and swimwear.

And the store carries Fresh Produce clothing for kids and toddlers, as well as Extra Fresh, the women's plus-size line. Other lines available include Crocs footwear, Brighton accessories, Sea Glass jewelry, packable Wallaroo hats from Australia, and ultra comfortable Oka b. sandals.

On Thursday, Fresh Produce celebrates its grand opening from 4 to 8 p.m. with hot dogs, cupcakes, refreshments and great shopping.

Open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. 323 Marine Avenue in Newport Beach. 949.673.7333.
