What’s not to love about Anastasia Boutique and Café in Laguna Beach? It covers the best of both worlds: high-fashion and foods under one roof. For the past 30 years owner Ami Garavi has offered an unparalleled mix of designer, shoes, bags and accessories from top designer brands and served breakfast (all day) and lunch from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. It’s an oasis for fashionistas and those who enjoy relaxing table side with friends. Right now Anastasia is having an in-store end of the year sale—apparel reduced 30 to 50%, and if you sign up online you’ll receive e-mail alerts for Warehouse Wednesday sales. Choose from top brands including Alberta Ferretti, Blumarine, Jean Paul Gaultier, Plein Sud, Wunderkind, Maison Martin Margiela, Comme des Garcons, Junya Watanabe, Peachoo + Krejberg and many more. Just recently Anastasia added its own men’s label, Unholy Matrimony. Boutique is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Café is open 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. 460-470 Ocean Ave. in Laguna Beach. 949.497.1212.

Save the Date!
Make sure you save the date for the oc mart MIX! If you haven’t heard about “the MIX”, it’s a great new gathering of amazing vendors at the South Coast Collection (affectionately referred to as SOCO) in Costa Mesa. And Greer’s OC readers are invited to a sneak peak shopping event on Jan. 26 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The best part is that while you enjoy shopping, sipping on complimentary wine and nibbling treats, the entire event benefits Greer’s OC favorite charity - Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). To attend, RSVP to Gretchen at gretchen@pacific-creative.digital and the first 100 RSVPs receive a gift bag! See you there!
