Local and International: Coast Modern
04.10.15
On the hunt for something different? Stop by the new Coast Modern in Seal Beach that offers curated local and international goods, as well as men’s and women’s clothing and homewares. Bryce and Cecilia Cole, a creative design couple, shine a light on indie fashion brands and local artisans. They feature a local sailmaker who handcrafts bags, to a bookbinder who makes quality leather goods.
The husband and wife team have designed for various fashion brands in the contemporary and action sports arenas. Seven years ago they launched Common Thread, a multi-source apparel design and manufacturing agency where they continue to work with many brands.
”We believe in good design for better living and we’re inspired by architecture, textiles, graphic art and simple pure design,” Bryce said.
Coast Modern offers an eclectic mix of quality items such as clothing, jewelry, eyewear, shoes, books, cards and linens.
This season’s women’s designers include: Knot Sisters, Maison Du Soir, Closed Denim, Bridge & Burn, K-Way, Raven+Lily and Bijoux B Jewelry.
Men’s designers include: Almond, Aloha Sunday, Railcar Fine Goods, Rhythm and their own house brand Unidas.
Homewares include: Woolrich, Half Light Bindery, Topo Designs, Eames Office, Swell, M&U Co., Hedley & Bennett, and Books by Hennessey & Ingalls as well as Tashen, and more.
Open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.

Our beauty-obsessed readers will want to know that Bobbi Brown PRO and Director of Artistry/Education, Rogelio Reyna will be at Nordstrom South Coast Plaza on Friday, April 10 and Saturday, April 11. Rogelio brings the latest in makeup tips and tricks straight from the runways of Fashion Week and the Red Carpet working alongside Bobbi Brown herself.
You can reserve a spot on Friday, April 10 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. with Rogelio and his team who will be providing makeup lessons some designed to be as quick as 5 minutes, others that allow 20-45 minutes – to help you design an easy makeup routine. Makeup lessons are offered complimentary at Bobbi Brown counters year round with no product purchase necessary (but you do get free samples to take home!) There will also be a photo booth so you can take share pictures of looks following the makeup lessons.
Pre-book a lesson at 714.549.8300 ext. 1423 – or stop in either day to book at the time that’s best for them. You will receive an exclusive gift with a booked appointment and purchase of a new launch item.
On Saturday, April 11 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Rogelio will take part in the Nordstrom Trend Show where he’ll be discussing three key new launches for the brand, teaching guests how to get pretty in an instant and the “secret to perfect skin.” Tickets cost $20 and redeemable toward your beauty purchase on the day of the event.
Featured new Bobbi Brown products:
Extra Illuminating Moisture Balm: Give your skin a healthy glow, a burst of hydration and an instant glow with skin-illuminating pearls. You will instantly see why Bobbi calls it her “Dream Cream!”
Skin Smoothing Pore Perfector: Eliminate pores and blur those pesky fine lines around your lips and eyes (it will even help to stop your lipstick from feathering).
Intensive Skin Serum Foundation SPF40: Bobbi’s newest addition to her foundation empire. It’s a supercharged serum foundation that is the perfect fusion of treatment and makeup; it’s designed to give you flawless, yet lightweight coverage.
Nordstrom is at South Coast Plaza, 3333 Bristol St. in Costa Mesa.
