South Coast Plaza’s Black Friday Open House

What better way to de-stress from hectic mall activity on Black Friday than in the sanctuary of South Coast Plaza's hospitality suite. For the past 9 years, it’s an all day perk fest for VIP, store managers, and the media.

The fancy entrance draped in red velvet and hung wreath signaled a welcome retreat. Fresh cookies from Charlie Palmer restaurant sit waiting to be nibbled as invites signed the guest book. Courtesy of Spa Montage in Laguna Beach, guests were pampered as they chose a facial, massage, dry body brush or a reflexology treatment. After 30 minutes of bliss, your take home gift was a goody bag containing a Japanese Sisal brush and a jar of Sea Cal Bath from Spa Technologies.

In the cozy lounge with two Christmas trees, guest sipped Piper Heidsiek Champagne provided by Napa Style and enjoyed assorted dishes catered by a dozen SCP restaurants including Marché Moderne, Pinot Provence, and Morton's. Nespresso offered a variety of delightful coffee drinks as a post meal treat.

Last stop was a visit to Jo Malone's refreshing fragrance bar as generous perfume samples were being given. It was only fashionable to end the day by smelling like a VIP.
