San Clemente shed its sleepy beach-town reputation years ago. But even after growing from about 15,000 residents in the ’70s to almost 65,000 today, the city had no major shopping center within its limits. That’s about to change – in a big way.
The Outlets at San Clemente, a premium outlet shopping and dining center, is under construction between the entire length of two Interstate 5 off-ramps. Overlooking the Pacific on a palisade west of the freeway, the $100 million development will feature more than a half-million square feet of upscale retail and restaurant space spread over 52 acres. Construction cranes, steel girders, and building exteriors are clearly visible to motorists passing by on the I-5, as well as from all over town. Completion is anticipated by late summer. More than 70 tenants are expected; those announced so far include Calvin Klein, Converse, Kay Jewelers, Nike, Quiksilver, Swarovski, and Tommy Hilfiger. Ocean-view restaurant occupants should be announced soon.

Outfitters to the inherently chic, The Row has introduced its newest must-have accessory, the Market bag—a trapezoidal tote in dreamy pink suede that tops our list of “it” bags for the season. Round ring handles crafted in Italy out of multilayered rosewood were inspired by “the lining and aesthetic of Riviera boats,” say designers Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen. With such attention to detail, it’s no wonder the twin sisters were the 2014 recipients of the esteemed Accessories Designer of the Year award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
