Earn Your Denim!
Orange County just landed the first Earnest Sewn boutique, and you can find it at Fashion Island. This is the place to find premium denim and sportswear for men, women and select children’s denim styles like skinny, straight and bell-bottoms.
LA-based Earnest Sewn is known for its iconic denim, expert tailoring and hand-crafted details. Choose from favorites such as the Hefner, a women’s boot cut and the Harlan, a low-rise skinny leg fit.
The most recent debut since the return of Earnest Sewn’s original designer Benjamin Talley Smith is the limited edition "Golden Ticket" jean called Newport, an over dyed black micro flare jean that uses 24K gold buttons, rivets and a gold foil screen print priced at $198 each. There are only 50 made, so hurry in, if limited edition denim is your thing.
For women, the boutique also carries yoga wear from Clary Sage Organics and chic Repetto flats and rain boots. Men can find cool Generic Man anklet boots and oxfords.
And in celebration of the Apple Store’s release of the iPhone 4S today, you can present an Apple store receipt at Earnest Sewn and enter to win a free Earnest Sewn handmade iPad case.
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.
Magnolia Mews!
We just discovered a new treasure of a shop in Newport Beach. After 20 years of wanting to open a home furnishings consignment shop, local girl Hillary Niblo finally took a leap of faith and opened her first store, Magnolia Mews Consignments.
Stop in to find a wide range of items from fine to funky including furniture, original art, costume jewelry, even handbags. New merchandise arrives daily, so check back often.
Recent additions include a mid-century glass and iron coffee table; 1930s French iron work of foliage, custom Berman Rosetti leather cocktail bench/ottoman; a collectible vintage Charles S. Kahn lucite evening bag; and an Andre Conte table (with built-in leaves to seat 10) with six chairs.
Open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. 314 Old Newport Blvd., Newport Beach. 949.646.1090.
