Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek
It’s been a few years and now the fashion boutique XCVI has returned to Broadway Plaza near the fountain area. Previously they were here as a pop-up but I’ve been told they will be here at least a year and possibly longer.
From their website:
XCVI is about luxury, wearability, comfort. The luxury of super-soft, breathable fabrics that drape without clinging, skimming a woman’s curves, flattering her body.
The wearability of clothes that mix-and-match or work as a complete ensemble. We create clothes that can be worn every day in a thousand different ways. Clothes that feel comfortable all day long. Clothes that can be worn from day to evening, can be dressed up or down. Clothes that are versatile.
The Orchards at Walnut Creek
The Orchards shopping center across the street from Encina Grande on Ygnacio Valley Rd. in Walnut Creek is finally open with Safeway (and Wells Fargo) being the first two stores to open. The Safeway is huge with a Starbucks inside and something I haven’t seen in any other Safeway before: cafe seating. That’s great that people will have a place to eat!
