International fashion followers are in for a major thrill this fall, when UNIQLO opens one of its first SoCal boutiques at South Coast Plaza. (The second one is slated to go in the Beverly Center in Los Angeles.) The Japanese based brand is already huge in New York and the Bay Area, as the go to place for affordable style: think the Gap meets H&M, but with brilliant fabrics and collections for men, women and kids.
Fans can’t get enough of its Heattech line, a Japanese technology fabric that adapts to your body temp, and keeps you perfectly warm; ultra light down jackets, cashmere sweaters, legging pants, Supima cotton line, extended sizes, plus perfect basics, like denim and tee shirts. And where else can you find socks in 50 colors?

Souper Sundays at Daphne’s
Our favorite fast casual Greek and California inspired eatery, Daphne’s California Greek is now giving back to improve the lives of disadvantages and hungry residents in SoCal with a “Spoon It Forward,” charitable program.
For every cup of its popular Lemon Chicken Soup sold on “Souper Sundays” in February, Daphne’s will donate the equivalent dollar amount to Feeding America San Diego, Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County, and the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. The price of a cup of Daphne’s Lemon Chicken Soup is $1.69, which will cover the cost of eight full meals through Feeding America.
