Max Mara’s Fall 2014 Ready-to-Wear
02.28.14
MaxMara at South Coast Plaza is anticipating the beautiful remodel of its new flagship store to debut in mid-May. During the interim, you can shop at its temporary boutique near the Carousel.
MaxMara’s latest fall 2014 ready-to-wear collections seen on the runways at fashion week in Milan, received great reviews for its inventive use of menswear fabrics, traditional tweeds, plaids and checks, as well as a vibrant lichen green accent.
The MaxMara design team released a cozy knit cardigan, a fabulous peacoat, traditional man’s coat cut from four different kinds of wool, as well as tween and herringbone, and plaids from the shoulder to hem. We also loved the dresses, trousers, below-the-knee tube skirt, and blouses all in MaxMara’s luxurious fabrics.
Open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday to Friday; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday; 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Sunday.
Level 1, MaxMara South Coast Plaza is near the Carousel and Disney Store in Costa Mesa. 714.754.7900

‘Good Things Come in Pink Boxes’
02.28.14
For the first time in Orange County--as of Saturday, 24 hours a day--you can enjoy purple yam (ube) donuts at Friendly Donuts in Orange. The super friendly and family-owned donut shop, founded in 1985, is known for fresh strawberry-filled cream donuts, delicious dossants (croissant donuts), as well as a variety of traditional donuts.
Friendly Donuts is introducing the popular ube donut thanks to its exclusive partnership with Los Angeles based Buttermilk, Inc. The ube is a staple ingredient from the Philippines used in a variety of desserts, as well as a flavor for ice cream, rolls, tarts, cookies, cakes and other pastries. Its rich purple color adds an extra enticing visual effect.
Open 24 hours a day.
4442 E. Chapman Ave. in Orange. 714.538.4942.
