If we had to name one style icon who epitomized the French flirty, relaxed and seaside lifestyle, it would have to be Brigitte Bardot, the 1960’s sex symbol who still influences international fashions. Her carefree and fashionable style is obtainable at Bardot, a new boutique in Newport Beach created by owner Dana Harmon. Bardot specializes in basics to special occasion pieces from ALC, Haute Hippie, Rachel Pally, Clover Canyon, Amanda Uprichard, Current Elliott Siwy, James Jeans and more.
Harmon carries easy wearable dresses in colorful prints, Nation, Ltd.’s comfortable tunics perfect to wear with skinny jeans, ALC pleated dresses ideal for spring, and Top Secret, the answer to sexy bra tops without underwire. We’re loving the Cleobella Mexicana clutch that can double as a wallet, the Theodora & Callum printed scarves inspired by travels to Morocco, Bali, Turkey and India and the Mediterranean, Christopher Fischer cashmere, and Bow and Arrow bikinis. This is the place to find exclusives to Orange County like Gold Dust, handmade dresses repurposed from vintage fabrics in Los Angeles, handmade jewelry from Noble House Design designed specifically to wear with Bardot’s fashions. And as a special for Greer’s OC readers, you can mention us and receive 10% off your next purchase.
Open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday; 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday; and Sunday 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. 2043 Westcliff Drive, Suite 103 in Newport Beach. 949.515.2710.
