It's only been a few months since Social B. opened, the newest indie boutique in Newport Beach and it looks like owner Christy Salem is on to something special. Salem’s mission is to support local women designers while giving back to the local community. It helps that she has great taste and the designers she carries are not only chic and fashionable, the price points are affordable---nothing costs more than $300. Social B. is at Old Newport Blvd. in a hub of other must-see businesses, Bronze Bunny (organic airbrush tanning) is upstairs; and other neighbors include Timree Art Studio for classes, gifts, and personalized art, and Brett Rubbico Gallery one of the leading contemporary art galleries in Orange County.
Get in as soon as possible to find the best in summer inspired jewelry (perfect for grads too) from Newport Beach based g2g Designs, we love her sweet initial necklaces and beautiful long beaded necklaces with geodes; Lynne Curtin’s great cuffs and necklaces; luxe hair towels and spa wraps by Corona del Mar based Wrapadoo; Lisa Vogel of Raj Manufacturing terry rompers by Splendid; and Lodis clutches made in South Orange County. You’ll be blown away at all of the great summer rompers, dresses, tops, beach cover-ups, denim shorts and Siwy and Rich & Skinny denim.
Social B. is also a life-saver when it comes to shopping for gifts, pick up some moisturizing Royal Apothic hand crème, a Bella Bag made of recycled plastic that you can personalize with an initial, handmade Aroma Sez luxury candles with GMO-free soy wax, non toxic phthalate free, candles ; beautiful unscented candles perfect for the dinner table, and the most beautiful diffuser ever seen, the Grand Casablanca, that’s a porcelain white flower rather than reeds sticks.
Open Tuesday through Saturday 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
359 Old Newport Blvd. in Newport Beach. 949.533.3525.
