For this #ThrowbackThursday, we’re reminiscing about an unforgettable night last fall when SIP & SHUCK celebrated its 10th anniversary in style. Hosted at The Deck, Driftwood Kitchen, and The Bungalows at Pacific Edge Hotel, it was a perfect evening filled with oysters, champagne, and stunning ocean views.
Thanks to Chef Rainer Schwarz’s incredible dishes and the chance to support a cause so close to our hearts—CASA of Orange County—it was a night of both indulgence and giving back.
VIPs were treated to the finest, but the best part was knowing every bite and sip was making a difference for kids who need it most.
Ten years in, SIP & SHUCK is still one of our favorite nights of the year. 💙

It’s hard to believe we’re already midway through February—2025 is off and running! But before we get too far into the year, we’re taking a moment to reflect on 2024. It was a year of clarity for the market, a deeper appreciation for the magic of coastal Orange County living, and a reminder of what truly matters: community, connection, and the people who make this place so special.
We also felt the loss of Tim Tamura of @valiaproperties, a leader who embodied the values we hold dear—kindness, integrity, and the power of coming together. His legacy reminds us to slow down, cherish the moments, and support one another.
As we move forward, we’re filled with gratitude for this community and the generosity that defines it. Whether it’s the holiday season or the everyday efforts to give back, we’re inspired by the way people show up for each other here.
Here’s to carrying those values into the rest of the year—and to building a future rooted in connection.

How do you design a home that feels like it belongs to the land? For architect Horst Noppenberger, the answer lies in his stunning Irvine Cove residence.
Set in Laguna Beach, this 6,500 sq ft home wraps around a central courtyard where olive trees and a linear pool seem to pull the Pacific into the property. The C-shaped layout captures soft, late-afternoon light, while slatted wood screens balance privacy with sweeping ocean views.
The master suite is a sanctuary, with warm wood textures and an indoor-outdoor shower, while the lower level surprises with a lounge, bar, and exercise room. Curated modern art by Peter Blake adds the final touch to this minimalist masterpiece.

Okay, but have you seen the Painho Collection? @tidellioutdoor dropped this gem 10 years ago, and it’s still the outdoor furniture flex. Designed with Brazilian creative genius Marcelo Rosenbaum, it’s inspired by Bahia’s tropical vibes and culture.
Hand-wrapped ropes, breezy fretwork, and over 60 colors to mix and match? It's basically a customizable paradise!
