Just the place to find decor for the cottage
BEST BUYS
Furniture store
fills a campy niche
Camps and Cottages is a great cottage and rustic home furnishings
store. It’s filled with vintage and new bedding, furniture, pottery
and case goods. A lot of Laguna’s locals who have second homes in Sun
Valley, Idaho rely on Camps and Cottages to outfit their homes with
casual comfortable furnishings. The owner, Molly Hyde English,
started out with a popular shop in Berkeley before relocating to
Laguna about three years ago. English wrote an interior design coffee
table book called “Camps and Cottages” featuring the store’s design
theme. Customers can’t get enough of the Maine Cottage furniture
collection that’s available in 40 colors, the new Bauer Pottery, and
the fun linen line from Utility Canvas. The store is open from 11
a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday at 1231 N. Coast Highway.
(949) 376-8474.
The perfect costume any time
Despite its awkward location, Tippe Canoes has maintained 25
successful years in business offering great year-round costume
selection and fair prices.
“This is considered the dead end of town,” co-owner Chazz Wergeles
says. “And since people have to climb stairs to get here, we have to
give them a reason to climb those stairs.”
It has a big theme party and Halloween costume selection. Plus
wigs, boas, glasses, jewelry, tuxedos, tux shirts, shoes, bow ties
and regular ties. Everything is either vintage, retro or fun and
funky. Fashions from the 1970s range from tie-dye shirts to bell
bottoms. They are open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday
and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday at 648 S. Coast Highway. (949)
494-1200.
Zazu for the feminine side
Zazu The Boutique carries a mix of clothing and accessories for
women. It’s got Diesel, Seven jeans, Michael Stars T-shirts, jewelry,
Miss Sixty shoes, unique belts and tons of turquoise. It also carries
Gucci sunglasses priced a little bit lower than you’ll find
elsewhere. It’s open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days a week. It’s
at 303 Broadway, with its entrance on Ocean Avenue. (949) 464-0888.
