Vintage Inspired
08.26.11
At Briana Rene, one of the newest boutiques that just opened at the OC Mart Mix in Costa Mesa, expect to find vintage inspired lingerie, handmade jewelry and unusual designers that you’re not going to find everywhere else.
Owner and designer Briana Ellison has been designing jewelry (earrings, leather pieces and necklaces) for several years, and just started a lingerie line that includes “bloomer bottoms”--sort of a boy short, yet super feminine and fuller cut.
She also carries a Pretense t-shirt line made in Costa Mesa from organic cottons and dyes; as well as a men’s wear line for women called Maison Scotch from Amsterdam with intricate details that you don’t see often; vintage inspired Dirty Dolls lingerie with 1940’s high-waisted panties and more; and J.P. Mattes bags made from recycled saris.
Open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.
3313 Hyland Ave. in Costa Mesa. 949.290.4829.

ANQI HOSTS ASTON MARTIN V12 ZAGATO!
08.25.11
By Sheryll Alexander
South Coast Plaza’s AnQi by Crustacean restaurant is hosting a very rare (only two in the world!) Aston Martin V12 Zagato on Friday, August 26. No, the car isn’t sitting down for the restaurant’s signature garlic noodles, but you can view the car, talk to Aston Martin Newport Beach specialists and dine at this fashion-forward hot spot after drooling at this gorgeous sports car.
Part of AnQi’s “Fashionably Late Fridays” scene, the Aston Martin V12 Zagato will be on display from 4 p.m.-2 a.m. After checking out the V12 Zagato, drive into AnQi for Cal-Vietnamese fusion food and drink such as a refreshing Viet-jito or Pink Lotus cocktail with some spicy salt-and-pepper calamari.
The V12 Zagato was originally unveiled as a concept car at the prestigious Villa D’Este Concours in Italy earlier this year, where the car won the award for best design in the “concepts and prototypes” class. Just weeks later, the V12 Zagato went on to prove its durability with successful completion of the grueling Nürburgring 24-hour race in Germany. Last month, following interest from customers, the company confirmed a strictly limited production run of the V12 Zagato to commence in summer 2012.
Aston Martin Newport Beach is the No. 1 dealer in the country for Aston Martin retail sales.
