Vineyard Vines Arrives!

11.02.11

An East Coast favorite clothing label, Vineyard Vines just headed west with its first store now open at Fashion Island. The Connecticut-company is renowned for its whimsical ties and smiling pink whale logo, as well as its preppy clothing and accessories for men, women and children. Brothers Shep and Ian Murray cut ties with corporate America and launched Vineyard Vines on Martha’s Vineyard in 1998 to make ties that represented the good things in life. Their motto, “everyday should feel this good” comes from the feeling they had summering in Martha’s Vineyard. When you wear Vineyard Vines apparel they want you to have that same carefree, relaxed feeling.

Open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday; 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday; 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.

Vineyard Vines is in Nordstrom Court at Fashion Island in Newport Beach. 949.706.1570.

Music Power!

11.02.11

Newport Beach-based Coalition Duchenne presents Music Power at the Galaxy Theater in Santa Ana on Nov. 11 at 7 p.m. featuring incredible OC bands and musicians who have performed with Santana, Alicia Keyes, Jordin Sparks, Ne Yo, Jonas Brothers, U2 and more to raise awareness for Duchenne is progressive muscle wasting disease that affects boys--one in 3,500 worldwide are diagnosed. It is often fatal by age 20.

Dusty Brandom, the 18-year-old son of Coalition Duchenne founder Catherine Jayasuriya, is hosting the event. Brandom was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy at age 10 and has inspired musicians to join in the cause, including his younger brother’s band, Final Crush; Kings Road featuring Terry Lawless; and Michael Ubaldini, who the Los Angeles Times said is "better than Springsteen at probing the national soul."

Brandom works tirelessly to raise awareness for Duchenne—he visited President Obama at the White House thanks to Orange County Chapter of the Make A Wish Foundation to share his story about Duchenne. Jayasuriya founded Coalition Duchenne last year to raise global awareness for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, to fund research and to find a cure.

Tickets are $20 and can be purchased online. Galaxy Theater is at 3503 S. Harbor Blvd. in Santa Ana. 714.957.0060.
