A Day at Lido Marina Village

I may have just found my new favorite spot in Orange County, Lido Marina Village! As if I didn’t love Newport Beach enough already, I’m now even more obsessed. Prior to my visit a few weeks back, I had only heard how beautiful this spot is. After spending the day there, I could not agree more. Everything about it had me in awe.

I actually visited Lido to attend the grand opening of the new Sugar Paper store. If you’re a lover of cute notebooks, cards and stationery like I am, you will be in heaven! Let’s be real, I want every item in the store! As you can see in one of the pictures below, there are cute items everywhere you turn in the store and I’m already planning to return to pick up some items as gifts for family and friends! I even had the opportunity to meet Chelsea and Jamie, the founders, and they were so sweet.

At the event, I received the prettiest monogrammed notebook (see in one of the photos below) and I purchased this notepad along with a beautiful birthday card for my mom. Honestly, there is something for everyone in this store. I’ve listed the store address at the bottom of this post for those who want to check it out. I highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area.

While visiting Sugar Paper was definitely one of the highlights of my visit, I also wandered into other shops and even stopped for an amazing iced latte at Honor Coffee. All I can say is that it tasted like I was drinking coffee ice cream {insert praise hands emoji here}.

Though I could talk on and on about the other parts of my visit, I feel that the pictures show off the beauty of Lido Marina Village much better than I could describe. The white aesthetic, beautiful quotes, and scenery truly make this place a hidden gem in Orange County!
