T-minus 11 days until Santa Monica Place opens. It's a big deal for Angelenos—and everyone else, too. It's one of the only new major retail shopping centers to open this year, anywhere in the country. And Santa Monica Place is a major deal for anyone who likes clothing and fashion: at current, their roster of retailers includes Barneys Co-op, Bloomingdale's, Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Ted Baker, and Tiffany.

Want to be one of the first to see it and shop it? We've got ten pairs of tix to an exclusive launch event, Beach is the New Black. It's a preview luncheon on Thursday, August 5—a full day before the center opens to the public. (!!!) Attendees will receive a gift bag with merchandise and gift cards from Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom, Barneys Co-op, Ted Baker, Juicy Couture and more. Lunch is at Xino on the open-air dining deck; afterward, you can also tag along on a very special Bloomingdale's shopping event. Starting tonight, we're giving way a pair of tickets a day via the Racked LA newsletter. Sign up if you want to be the first kid on your block to shop Santa Monica Place.
