For the new GRAZIA Gazette: Spring Fashion issue, we head to the West Coast to highlight all the springtime offerings taking place in Orange County. From new stores and exhibitions at the famed South Coast Plaza mall in Costa Mesa, to the blooming gardens, surf-ready waves and more, there’s a lot to explore in the O.C., so let’s dive right in!

First, we’re bringing you the best fashion finds in the area, which includes a new immersive installation by Van Cleef & Arpels. The storied French brand is celebrating its watchmaking history by putting its most dazzling timepieces on display from April 1 to 16 at the Jewel Court at South Coast Plaza. The brand promises the 1,000-square-foot display will transport viewers to a space “suspended between heaven and earth” in an environment that will feel like a “walk in an enchanted forest.” Want to learn more?

Of course, we wouldn’t take readers to the O.C. without highlight the area’s most notable beaches and gardens. Celebrate the new season with a trip to Huntington Beach. Whether you want to admire the surfers from the pier or take a dip in the water yourself, we dive into the rich history of the waves and how the town became known as “Surf City USA.”  The county is also blooming with beautiful green spaces that not only connect residents with nature – but with one another.
