Greer's OC

TPT Home just opened at what promises to be the where-to-shop destination for home and specialty retailers in Orange County: the new SoCo Collection center in Costa Mesa.

And already shopping enthusiasts are referring to the debut of TPT Home at SoCo as a match made in heaven.

TPT Home is unlike anything you’ve seen in OC. Its first store is housed in an all-glass building that enhances the 43,000 square feet of home furnishings and seasonal merchandise such as fall décor and Christmas trees. The owners and buying team have more than 25 years in the wholesale business, helping to set TPT Home apart from the Pottery Barns and Restoration Hardwares with a broader selection, unique presentation, and tremendous value (many items are at a fraction of the cost of competitors).

Choose from home furnishings, décor, art, mirrors, gourmet items, handbags, jewelry, hats and more.

Open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Closed Sundays. 3305 Hyland Avenue, just off of Harbor Boulevard at South Coast Drive in Costa Mesa.

Dancing on Air

Dance Asylum, a premier upscale dance studio in OC, offers private lessons and group classes for more than 33 styles of dance. Its newest form of dance—aerial—is being taught by Ruby Karen world renowned professional dancer who recently appeared on TV’s “So You Think You Can Dance.”

She’s bringing the world of aerial dance (think Cirque du Soleil) to the masses in OC. Aerial dance combines dance and fitness elements, both on the ground and on aerial levels utilizing silk/tissue fabric, hoop/lycra, hammock and a trapeze apparatus which improve posture while increasing strength and flexibility. Aerial dance classes and workshops are now available for all ages and skill levels.
