Shutters on the Beach, Santa Monica’s charming oceanfront resort, is currently offering the All in One package to locals and you deserve a break! The amazing package includes a relaxing 60-minute massage as well as lunch at Coast, the beach-side café and bar. With the soothing sound of the California waves as your soundtrack, you can enjoy beachside cuisine fresh from the water.
Although the warm sand can be nice between your toes, you don't want to risk your relaxing feeling after the massage. As part of the package, you can skip the sand and soak in the sun by the recently re-crafted oceanside pool. While soaking in the view, you will feel refreshed after sitting by the pool renovated by Obama White House designer Michael Smith. And, the package wouldn't be called "All in One" if it didn't include Valet parking. Click here for to take advantage of this special offer!

Classic Mary Jane!
If you love Manolo Blahnik shoes as much as we do, you’ll treasure this classic Mary Jane charm. Manolo Blahnik just teamed up with Tous, a Spanish jewelry designer, to launch a darling miniature version of the Campari shoe (made famous by “Sex and The City”). Think of it as a grown up, sophisticated bronzed baby shoe.
And on Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m., Tous South Coast Plaza celebrates the launch of the Campari shoe charm with a party. A sterling silver small Campari charm starts at $155, and goes up to $1635 for an 18k gold charm with diamond on the strap.
