What’s better than a sweet pink Nanette Lepore dress at nearly half off? Not a whole lot if you ask me. This whole Santa-Ana-makeover-thing to boost the city’s image has brought in a lot of spiffy new spots; notably brand new boutique Hannah Bean right down the street from the Weekly office.
The first floor in a 3-story artist loft, Hannah Bean is a bright and airy shop with chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and BCBG hanging on the walls. You can also find labels like Rebecca Taylor, Theory, Ella Moss and LaRok. Co-owners and friends Christina Harrison (pictured) and Nicole Dale opened the femininely decadent boutique in September 07. They’re currently having a spazm-inducing sale through the end of January: the entire store is 40% off.
Hannah Bean is located at 111 City Place Drive, Santa Ana, (714)835-7371, www.hannahbean.com
