Get some culture, for free

Freebie of the Week: Better hurry for this one! Smithsonian Magazine is offering free admission for two people to their choice of hundreds of museums around the country tomorrow. Visit the website to request and print your admission ticket. Local offerings include the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana, the Huntington Beach International Surfing Museum, and Mission San Juan Capistrano. Visit microsite.smithsonianmag.com/museumday.

Try that new shiraz

The Main Street Wine Co., 301 Main St., Suite 107, Huntington Beach, will hold a first-anniversary party from 2 to 7 p.m. Saturday. On the docket: giveaways, tastings and appetizers. Call (714) 969-7400.

Satisfy that J Crew craving

The J Crew outlets in Camarillo, Cabazon, the Bay Area, and the U.S.-Mexico border in San Diego have a devoted clientele, but those of us who are inclined to sleep in on Saturday mornings rather than drive hundreds of miles have a new vice: the online J Crew Factory Outlet, which is open from midnight Friday to midnight Sunday EST each weekend. Visit jcrew.com/factory.jsp.

LF prices get even lower

The LF boutique at 278 Forest Ave., Laguna Beach, is having its final weekend blow-out sale before its biannual sample and warehouse sale in the South Bay.

Denim, denim, denim
