A Monster Calls Opens in LA and New York Theaters December 23rd, Nationwide January 6th
A visually spectacular and unabashedly emotional drama from director J.A. Bayona (“The Impossible”). 12-year-old Conor (Lewis MacDougall) is dealing with far more than other boys his age.

Woman-owned Kollekcio Boutique Offers European Style at Reasonable Prices
A friend of mine introduced me to her friends’ boutique, Kollekcio, in Old Town Tustin and it was love at first sight! I have always loved European clothing but not always liked the prices!

I love her taste in fashion and I think every girl needs a pretty dress or two hanging in their closet ready to be worn out on the town. We tried on some of our favorite dresses and outfits.
