This Sunday, September 27, the “Quarantine Car Cruise” will gather in SOCO’s parking lot with the baddest and raddest hot rods around town as a starting point for their 8th cruise around Southern California. This cruise, which has quickly grown into one of the largest drives in SoCal, will draw a variety of hot rods and show cars to the center – including those from surrounding areas like Arizona and Nevada. 

Once the clock strikes 10:00 a.m., the cars will hit the road as they start their drive up PCH.  The cruise started as a safe way to enjoy the fresh coastal air and sunshine at the beginning of the pandemic with a total of 35 cars, and now pulls more than 1,000 hot rods and show vehicles at each event.  If you’re in the area and would like to get in on the social-distancing cruise action, you can text “CRUISE” to 21000 for route info and details. 

Be sure to check out their Instagram here and read this recent article in Hot Rod Magazine for more information.  Safe travels! 

Don’t miss this spectacular event (and seasonal launch) featuring your favorite SOCO home + interior design showrooms!  On Saturday, October 3 and Sunday, October 4, you’ll find discounts on the best brands in home furnishings, accessories and décor during this Designer Tag Sale and Fall Collections Launch at OC’s designation design center. 

We’re all spending more time than ever at home, so why not take advantage of huge savings while sprucing up your space?  Get a jump start on the new season with soft lighting, cozy bedding, soft throws, pillows, and more.  Or better yet, take your organization game to the next level with stylish storage benches, wall shelves, trays, woven baskets, and various other décor items!

All weekend long, guests can enjoy special offers from award-winning eateries and restaurants at SOCO + OC Mix, shop exclusive discounts at participating boutiques and retailers, and listen to live music entertainment in the outdoor dining garden.

Some of us are enjoying the opportunity to work or study from home, while others find virtual meetings and online classes challenging. One thing we call can agree on, though, is that making your WFH (Work From Home) or SFH (School From Home) space as inviting, comfortable and functional as possible makes work easier and more enjoyable. 

Now, you can have your dream home office or study space with just one visit (in-person with social distancing/mask protocols or virtual!) to Robert Westley at SOCO. For four generations, the Loeb family has provided the highest level of personalized service and expertise, as well as the best selection of high-quality, design-driven furniture and home accessories in Southern California. Today, father and son Robert and Westley are at the helm.

The team at Robert Westley can help with everything from space planning and designing your home office to ordering the perfect pieces for your needs. As a preferred retailer, the Robert Westley showroom has an extensive collection of BDI furniture — one of the world’s foremost furniture companies. In addition to featuring beautiful designs that work within any decor scheme, BDI’s intelligent design makes our lives simpler, richer, more organized, and more efficient. BDI home office furniture is engineered with a host of user-friendly features including easily adjustable shelves, fingerprint-proof glass, hidden wheels, flow-through ventilation, and meticulously thought-out cord-management systems.

Currently, BDI’s Sequel 20 collection is popular for its sleek look that adapts to traditional, transitional and modern interior design environments. The Corridor line also is sought after for its contemporary silhouettes that could be taken from the pages of Dwell Magazine. The Cascadia collection is ideal for smaller spaces — think of an in-bedroom office or study space. All collections offer beautiful finish choices for desks, credenzas, tables, storage units and more. 

Ready to add some Zen to your Zoom calls? We thought so! Visit or call the team at Robert Westley today!

Come say hello to the newest pop-up boutique at the OC Mix – Roseland y Mar, where sustainability and longevity are number one! Carrying sustainably conscious clothing, accessories, and self-care items, you can in-store shop now through September 15.

 Roseland y Mar (RyM) was born from a founder with a passion for sharing designers’ unique stories while helping consumers make more socially conscious buying and clothing care decisions. The result is a collective of sustainable and durable fashion and wellness essentials that support the slow fashion movement. RyM uses interactive and eye-catching visuals in its retail store to educate the public on the role of clothing and fashion in sustainability. By offering to buy back RyM pieces after 30 wears, RyM aims to keep clothes out of landfills and find a second life for these treasured textiles. To further aid the slow fashion movement, Roseland y Mar is developing a Care Society to teach and inspire clothing care and longevity.

Open daily, you don’t want to miss out on this pop-up opportunity to spruce up your wardrobe with clothing that will last a lifetime!
