Whether it’s a road trip adventure, exploring new spots around the neighborhood, or finding hidden gems abroad, we’re big fans of travel here at #allsortsof! Today, we’re kicking off a new series, All Sorts of Places, where we show you around the cities Shoppe calls home (and beyond!)
We’re kicking it off with a scenic drive down the PCH to visit sunny Newport Beach, detailing a few of our fave spots in the area — from where to eat and stay, to a few go-to pastimes, plus a peek inside our waterfront Shoppe location in Lido Village. Let’s get into it, shall we?!
