Greer’s Best Buys:

Blue dot sales event combines 30 retailers

February 06, 2008|By GREER WYLDER

It’s time for the fashion event of the year. This Saturday and Sunday, the Blue Dot Boutique Sale hosts a blowout sale featuring Orange County’s best women’s, men’s and children’s boutiques — all under one roof!

More than 30 hand-selected retailers offer rock-bottom prices (up to 75% off) on designer apparel, shoes and accessories. And even better, a portion of the entrance fee goes toward Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), which helps break the vicious cycle of child abuse.

The Orange County Fairgrounds, Building 16, offers more than enough space to spread out and shop hip boutiques such as Erica Dee, Lola Rouge, The Closet, Patina, Goat, Harlow, Satisfy My Soul — and many more.

Admission to this shopping extravaganza is $12. Die-hard fashionistas can purchase a VIP ticket ($25) for first choice at bargains. All tickets are purchased at the door. Cash only. Orange County Fairgrounds is at 88 Fair Drive in Costa Mesa. For more information, visit www.bluedotboutiquesale.com.

Dream date in the sky

Are you looking for a romantic and over-the-top evening to celebrate Valentine’s Day? How about a sunset flight along the Orange Coast, followed by a delicious prime steak or seafood and legendary hot chocolate cake from Morton’s The Steakhouse in Anaheim along with a dozen roses and a limo?

To help Cupid out, Morton’s and Sunset Flying have paired up to create “The Ultimate Dream Date.” You can choose from two different plane rides: the coastal sunset tour or an evening flight over Disneyland to view the spectacular fireworks show from the air (fireworks only on weekends).

Flights take off every night except Thursday. The evening — which doesn’t have to be celebrated exactly on Feb. 14 — starts with a private limousine ride for two. Depending on which flight you take, dinner at Morton’s will come before (if you choose the fireworks flights) or after (if you pick the sunset flight).

The evening costs $999. For reservations, call Sunset Flying, 866-SKY-FOR -2. www.sunsetflying.com.
