There are twelve days between my and my sister’s birthdays, and typically during this time I will go visit her in California for a long weekend. Oh how I wish I were making this trip this year! But alas, since we are sheltering at home, that is obviously not happening. That being said, I decided to pull together a list of my favorite places in Newport Beach and revisit them via pictures!
Bixby and Ball
3424 Via Lido #103, Newport Beach, CA 92663
This is the CUTEST home store! I never walk away empty handed. I have gotten the most amazing candles, books, cutting boards, and even a rug from here. I wish I could decorate my entire house form this shop- I feel like it was designed for me!
McGee & Co.
1720 Santa Ana Ave, Costa Mesa, CA 92627
This shop is within walking distance of my sister’s house, so needless to say, we go here a lot! Such a great place for inspiration!
Castaways Park
700 Dover Dr, Newport Beach, CA 92660
Hands down one of my favorite places in the world! The most beautiful park with the most stunning views of sea, sky, flowers, and houses!
Malibu Farm
3420 Via Oporto #101, Newport Beach, CA 92663
One of my favorite restaurants in the area - from the absolutely amazing cocktails, to the food, to the marina views, and the overall concept. One of my favorite memories was having Christmas cocktails with my sister and on the outdoor patio, under a cozy heat lamp and Malibu Farm blankets, soaking up the stunning water views.
Sugar Paper LA
3431 Via Oporto #105, Newport Beach, CA 92663
I also LOVE Sugar Paper! Gift cards are my love language and this store is the cutest. I literally feel like a kid in a candy store and totally stock up on giftcards and stationary when I’m here!
Lido Marina Village
3434 Vida Lido, Newport Beach, CA 92663
This is definitely one of my favorite places to roam around and window shop! (It actually contains several of the shops I posted about!) The perfect open air shopping plaza!
Serena & Lily Newport Beach
3636 Newport Blvd, Newport Beach, CA 92663
If you know me, you know I love this store! It is AMAZING inside and out! Enough said :)
JuiceMi Newport Beach
609 E Balboa Blvd, Newport Beach, CA 92661
The BEST cold press juices ever and the cutest shop! This is one of the first places I go to when I visit!
Sidecar Donuts
270 E 17th St #18, Costa Mesa, CA 92627
Hands down the best donuts on the face of the earth! SO GOOD! The line is always out the door, they are that good (But don’t worry it moves quickly!) A must have at least a few times when I visit!
And of course my very, very favorite place in Newport Beach (and maybe the world!) the beach!
Until next time, California!
