Laura Vassar Brock and her husband Kristopher Brock, co-designers of the luxury womenswear label Brock Collection (brocknewyork.com), recently relocated from New York to Laura’s hometown of Newport Beach. “There is a sense of ease Newport offers that we find integral to our creative process. Based on the approach to an effortless way of dressing, the Spring/Summer 2016 collection was very much inspired by [this] easy lifestyle,” she notes. Here, her local haunts. • The Wedge Our 1-year-old loves to walk down most mornings [with us] and watch the surfers. • A’maree’s The only place to shop in Newport Beach. It is one of the most beautifully curated stores in the world, and for us it’s only a boat ride away! amarees.com. • Alta Coffee The best spiced chai latte around. I always pop in after my Villa Pilates & Yoga class. altacoffee-co.com. • Emerald Bay Our favorite summer day is taking the boat here with friends—we spend the day in the water and come home sun-kissed and happy! • Spa Montage Laguna Beach For a massage followed by lunch on the terrace. montage .com • Nobu We are thrilled hotels.com. to have Nobu coming to Lido Village—it will be a great date spot! noburestaurants.com. • G Street One of my most favorite beaches because it is a bit more secluded. • The Dock It is on the bay, seats an intimate number of tables and has the most delicious menu. dineatthedock.com dineatthedock.com.
