There's been some recent changes in & around Laguna Bch-
many shops moving out, consolidating, etc. [Signs of the times, I suppose.]
Soul-to-Soul closed but
254 (by
Muse off Forest Ave) is still there & I believe the same owner.
Cloudwalk off PCH sometimes has great sales/finds.
There are a couple new ones that have opened on the main drag/PCH but further south so a bit of a hike.
The
Montage Resort's gift store carries some great lines.
There's not a lot of vintage here, per se, but a lot of consignment. The consignment items are not usu. vintage.
Roxanne's in Dana Point/Laguna Niguel is another boutique.
Also the shoe dept at SoCoastPlaza's Saks FINALLY got a proper facelift up off of the 3rd floor
To get to The Lab and The Camp, So. Coast Plza is bordered by Bear,MacArthur and Sunflower. Get to Bristol (on the Bloomies side) and go south for 2 blocks. Great raw food restaurant down there called 118 Degrees.
When I find out more, I shall post more! (I tend to go up to LA

to do my retail shopping, though...

)
