Back-to-back weeks of excitement in OC! Last week we celebrated opening week for The Angels’ season and now this! It’s opening week for Nordstrom’s new Fashion Island store.
The countdown is on: the much-anticipated store opens Friday at 10 a.m. Die-hard shoppers and beauty enthusiasts will no doubt be lining up for the opening day excitement. At Nordstrom’s courtyard mall entrance starting at 8 a.m. you can attend a “Beauty Bash” complete with complimentary cosmetics, a light breakfast and music.
And the lucky attendees of the sold-out Nordstrom Fashion Island Gala Wednesday from 7 to 10 p.m. will be the first to visit and shop at the new Nordstrom. They’ll enjoy cocktails, dinner and dessert buffets, live entertainment and, of course, incredible shopping. All proceeds will benefit Orangewood Children’s Foundation and University of California, Irvine Medical Center.
The new Nordstrom is in Fashion Island at 901 Newport Center Drive in Newport Beach. 949.610.0700
Tweet all about it
