Wear to Where: Brunello Cucinelli at South Coast Plaza
11.02.11
Thursday, Nov. 3rd, Brunello Cucinelli celebrates the opening of its premier Orange County location at South Coast Plaza.
From purveyors of cashmere sweaters in 1978, Cucinelli’s vision has evolved into a full lifestyle luxury brand which celebrates clothing and accessories that are clean, simple, chic and elegant. Fall of 2011 finds inspiration from Ireland with a mix of fur, plaids and knits...a juxtapose of slouch and tailored.
Brunello Cucinelli has maintained a balance of luxury, dignity and humanity from the helm of his Solomeo headquarters, a 14th century Umbrian hamlet. The company employees 436 of the 500 residents in Solomeo and generously reinvests twenty percent of company proceeds towards the restoration and renovation of the village.
Cucinelli stated, “We are grateful for the opportunity of expanding our lifestyle and philosophy to this prestigious new area. California possesses a unique energy not common in many places. It’s current, modern and the perfect locale for the Brunello Cucinelli customer”.
In true humanistic spirit, to celebrate the opening, Brunello Cucinelli will host a charitable weekend of shopping on Thursday, Nov. 3, through Sunday, Nov. 6, 2011, donating 10% of in-store sales to benefit the Camino Health Center.

Crawfish Boil at Memphis at the Santora
11.02.11
We were fortunate enough to taste test Executive Chef Diego Velasco’s new Louisiana style feast, the Memphis Crawfish Boil recently at Memphis at the Santora in Downtown Santa Ana. It’s a new southern dinner that’s ideal for groups of 8 to 20.
Just book a reservation one week in advance, arrive hungry and enjoy $1.5 lbs of fresh crawfish, smoked sausage, corn, potatoes, cornbread muffins, salad and one Dixie Lager per person all served on traditional butcher paper. To add to the ambience, New Orleans jazz and zydeco tunes will be playing during the southern feast. The meal costs $30 per person, which is a great value considering all of the food.
Memphis at Santora is at 201 North Broadway in Santa Ana. 714.564.1064.
