Greer’s Top Five Fashion Finds in OC

05.28.17

Orange County is a shopper’s paradise. We have it all, from high end couture to discount fashions, and everything in between. The funny thing is that you can have a great wardrobe just by mixing it up and buying what you love, no matter the label. I've worn dresses from Target with Manolo Blahnik's, and it looked great.

After reading Japanese lifestyle/organizing consultant Marie Kondo’s advice on how to declutter your home and her mantra: “discard everything that does not spark joy” and watching the Netflix documentary, Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important Things, I’m on a mission to only buy things I love and that bring me joy.

Which brings me to my top five fashion finds in OC. It’s hard to narrow it down—there are some many great pieces out there!

In some small way, these items bring me joy.

Michael Nusskern is my go to shop for finding the greatest outfits for special events, or really any day. They carry the most special designs that you aren’t going to see everywhere else. For example, this Isabel Marant top and pants from her black label collection. It was featured on her runway, and it’s a fun look, very cool and chic. Right now, the Newport Beach location--their second location is on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood--is having a 40% off sale.

Amour Vert just opened its first SoCal boutique at Lido Marina Village in Newport Beach. And, I’m loving their theme of using low-impact, non-toxic vegetable dyes to developing a zero-waste design philosophy that involves consciously cutting patterns. I picked up one of their tee’s and it’s now my new favorite shop for t-shirts. Of, course they have much more, but their tees are just what you want to live in. Dreamy soft and super comfortable. The Joline V-Neck Slub Tee comes in 11 colors, made of soft organic cotton blend. $42. Plus, when you buy a tee, they will plant a tree.

Rococo is just this great boutique in both Costa Mesa and Dana Point owned by Patty Klein Praisler who proudly carries high quality and timeless L.A. based brands. I love her Xirena tops and blouses that are perfect for summer and traveling. I wore them to death last summer and I love this Xirena striped shirt. It has an oversize fit and it’s perfect with skinny jeans. You just throw it in the wash, and no need to iron it. 100% cotton.

I have a weakness for skinny jeans and tailored black/white pants. They’re just the best wardrobe staple. My new favorite pants are from JoFit. This new store at Corona del Mar Plaza has some of the best fitting active wear, golf apparel and tennis wear you’ll find anywhere. Founder Joanne Cloak put so much thought and research into creating the most comfortable and flattering designs. I’m wearing the Slimmer Cropped Pant in white and black all of the time. The pull-on style pant is made of stretch woven fabric—you can dress them up or down. $96. Available in three colors.

932 Avocado Avenue in Newport Beach. 949.662.6066.

Stella McCartney isn’t just a great designer, she’s a cool mom of four and I love her support of animal rights. Years ago, she was at an event at Neiman’s and she was so nice and down to earth. Of course, all of her designs are vegan and not only that, they’re chic and modern. I love her Mini Baby Bella Shoulder Bag that’s at Saks Fifth Avenue at South Coast Plaza. It’s a smaller version of her classic Falabella, all crafted from shimmering faux suede and finished with Stella's signature chain trim. It’s available in seven colors and is priced from $633 to $1,055. Made in Italy and fully lined. For any handbag you own, you can extend the life of your bag and keep it clean by ordering the world’s best handbag hanger, Irvine based Clipa online. This genius design comes in six finishes, pairs perfectly with every bag, lasts 10 years, and clips on almost everything. $14.99, free U.S.. shipping.
