Where do you shop in Orange County?

[ardeetee]

So where do you OC guys go for your clothes? I'm looking for some new places to checkout... and also looking for places i can find good deals

Some of the places I goto now are:

South Coast Plaza (but only some stores like co-op)

The Lab

Active Ride Shop

Some of the cheaper places:

nordstroms rack

... any others?

[ardeetee]

hm.. no other places?

[por que]

hmm ... pretty much .... thats all I've seen too in OC. Hop in the car and go north a few miles or 50 miles depending where you live and head into LA or Santa Monica.

they carry lrg, the hundreds, and some other stuff.

[Selegna]

OC..

i know there is much more in LA, but i just don't want to fight traffic for 60 miles whenever i go out shopping with my friends.

There has to be some other places... not everyone in OC shops at co-op and active

[powerglov]

OMG I LIKE TOTALLY LOVE THE OC! SETH CHOEN IS SO HOT

[woejozney]

califffforniaaaa, here we comeeeeeeeee.

Oh Gawd!

[ALVIN]

avenue used to carry uxa

[drift3r]

check out the closet @ fashion island in newport beach. theey have a pretty nice denim collection, and the prices are reasonable. theres also a place called urban guerilla in university center across from UCI, but the stuff there is usually pretty expensive.

theres an urban outfitters at irvine spectrum, but then again theres one at the lab too.

everyone is right though, OC doesnt really have that big of a selection. i guess the best thing is to just take the 40 minutes to hit up LA.

hm interesting, i havent gone to fashion in a while mainly because the stores there are pretty pricey and rarely go on sale from what i remember. its a nice place to just go and people watch though

yeah ive been to the urbans at the lab and spectrum but it really isnt anything special.

You might try Jack's surf shop in Corona Del Mar (Huntington too). They got some sick stuff ever so often.

[TragicBliss]

By the way... Did you girls see the first episode of the new season tonight? OMG it was soooo good!

Jesus Christ. Hollywood is starting to rape your town dude. You should try and fight that shit.

As with all things satisfying, i.e. women, food, shopping, etc... It's all about the hunt. Get out to L.A. dude. Seriously. Just make a day of it, or whatevs.

Have you checked this (never updated) website?

Nice comeback Jonathan! Keep that website going.

By the way, Carve isn't in Fullerton anymore, it was moved to The Lab a little while ago. It's way better now too. Some crazy Japanese stuff every once in awhile.

I think they stocked those inside-out A.P.C. New Standards for a minute too? I'm not sure. There was some dude working there who was rocking a pair.

[ocstreet]

Thanks Tragic. I'll be frequenting this board alot more now. Seeing that your post brought my attention to this board in the first place and am enjoying it.

I edited my message as well about Carve. This is my second post, sweet.

Thanks again.

Nice Guide. By the way, 06+ closed ALONG time ago in fullerton. Only thing left up here pretty much is beatnic, and theres an active by the brea mall. Most of the vintage stores suck, luckily LA isnt far away.

[mufasa]

Thanks for the info OC! rock on

[ardeetee]

cool, great list ocstreet! of those places listed, are there any favorites?

[ocstreet]

Alright guys, i updated the list from additional member feedback. Thanks guys!

Personally I enjoy The Lab, The Closet, and American Apparel. That is all I shop. I still need to visit a couple of the places on the OCStreet Boutique Guide, so I can't speak for them all.

I like the guys at Avenue too, I am always over there to get ramen at Ebisu next door to Avenue.
