H O N E YMOO N Departure The “I Do’s” have been said and the party has been had! And what a party that was (some of those guests may still be recovering). So now’s the fun part: to hop in your ride and head for the honeymoon! Ride away in style in your own shiny, new FIAT from Orange Coast FIAT. The one and only FIAT dealership in Orange County, OC Fiat recently finished the year as the #1 volume FIAT studio in the entire nation! Yowza! A proud part of the family-owned Orange Coast Auto Group, this dealership is a real standout, just walk in and see. As soon as you step foot into the FIAT studio you know you aren’t in just any ol’ car dealership. The red ceilings, bumpin’ music, and genuine faces tell the fun FIAT story, along with the caffeine-lovers’ corner of an espresso bar. Dash over to the state-of-the-art touch screens where you can customize your FIAT, and get immediately hooked into the FIAT lifestyle and spunk. Owner Jon Gray will tell you himself that his first priorities are his customers and his employees, making this an “anything but typical dealership.” Nowadays, we all have so many choices when it comes to cars—all shapes, sizes, styles and perks are out there—but what better way to start your new life together than drive away in a sweet Italian ride?! Heck, Kelley Blue Book even voted the 2012 FIAT 500 as one of the 10 Coolest Cars Under $18,000, so you’ve got the certified stamp of cool on those four wheels! FIAT, founded in 1899 and rebirthed into the modern generation in 2007, officially stands for Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino—bet you can impress your Italian friends with that fact! FIAT is truly unique in its style, its drive, its body, but the fact that you literally never have to set foot in a dealership and your custom car can be delivered right to your driveway or business (with a bow on top!) has got to pull a “wow” outta anyone. FIAT likes to make things easy for every single customer that comes their way, and once you pick out the car you want, OC FIAT works quickly to have you driving away in under an hour...easy as that. A huge selection of FIAT 500’s, FIAT 500 Cabrios, as well as the 500L and 500e, and the FIAT Abarth, coming later in 2013. OC FIAT has an amazing team of product specialists who will guide you through the process of purchasing your little dream car, making sure you learn everything there is to learn about this ride, without all of the usual pressure of a Joe Shmo car salesman. Give you and your honey the picture perfect way to start a newlywed getaway together and drive away in one of these JLo-endorsed rides (let’s just cross our fingers that your marriage record will be better than hers). Hello, Laguna Beach! It’s probably because of your beautifully swept streets and your beachfront styled stores that I have such good style on such a small savings account. Every other boutique on South Coast Highway has got to be a winner, I swear. But Taim Boutique of all places is working hard to help every wonderful woman in OC define and refine her style. And they guarantee that your style will be better for it! I have never seen a boutique that is completely and utterly dedicated to making women feel beautiful and confident like Taim does. For the hopelessly style-handicapped, this may be your dream come true—Taim’s dedicated and darling staff is bound and determined to help you discover your personal style. Walking side by side the customers that need the personal shopper help, staffers here guide you to know what to look for in trends, what looks good on your beautiful bod and how to style it to put the whole package together. When you take your first fashionable step inside across Taim’s Laguna Beach threshold, you’ll feel right at home, too. White paneled walls, oversized silver framed mirrors—this boutique sorta looks like what you wish your walk-in closet looked like. A great selection of sparkled-up dresses for that cocktail party or night out on your honeymoon, even adorable sweaters starting at just $55 for when you need to curl up with something sassy but comfy. Gold and silver, gem and detail necklaces, bangle bracelets and adorable scarves and clutch purses are strewn about this lovely South County spot. Get your scrumptious candles and perfume oils here at Taim, too, where the price is just right! And to top it all off, Taim has an outstanding selection of shoes: pumps, flats and riding boots for every fashionista’s wintery season wardrobe. Dolce Vita is a brand you’ll find around the store, with their great shoe styles for any season. Dolce Vita also dominates the apparel shelves in addition to the shoe shelves, along with Daniel Rain, Farron Elizabeth, Rachel Pally, Acrobat, Maison Scotch, Blaque Label and other do-right designers. I adore the timeless selection of handbags at Taim—cross-body bags for traveling and traipsing around town, even scarves to keep the California girl inside of you nice and cozy this winter. As you dash off on the most romantic honeymoon you could have ever imagined, remember to dress to the nines and find your style at Taim Boutique!
