Greer's OC: Shop aimed at moms, daughters

We've discovered a hidden Newport Beach gem, Naomy & Adrian, a fashion haven for handmade knits and hand-selected apparel, beautiful scarves, handbags and jewelry that you'd normally find in New York or a French boutique.

Owner Naomy Kim, a longtime knitwear designer, just opened Naomy & Adrian (her daughter's name). The shop carries select designers that complement her beautiful sweaters and our favorite mobius wrap, an infinity wrap that's currently available in brown and charcoal.

The boutique is a great place for mothers and daughters to shop and find coveted pieces. Right now, don't miss the current sale — 50% off select clothing and 20% off select accessories. Choose from designers such as Ted Baker London, Tolani, Cotélac, With & Wessel, Serpui Marie, Fresh Laundry, A'nue Ligne, Maggie Ward and Eternal Sunshine Creations

Jewelry designers include Dana Kellin, Vita Fede, Gillian Julius, Ellen Arthur, Sommon Sebbag, French Kande and much more. Handbag designers include Annabel Ingall, Inge Christopher and Osklen.
