93101... The Real Santa Barbara

September 13, 2006

Move over Laguna Beach and the O.C., CoutureCandy's beach town, Santa Barbara, is just as goss-worthy as the 949 and filled with beautiful characters, picturesque backdrops, and of course, a signature sense of style!

Where's all the drama? Well S.B. is the only place where celebrity bungalows collide with four ocean-view colleges (co-ed) and bundles of old Montecito money. And there's always an excuse to party whether the Summer Solstice has arrived or week-long Fiesta has begun (Carnival meets Jose Cuervo). Oh and, Michael Jackson lives here... plot-twist what?

As for style, casual is key in this sunny paradise located an hour's drive north of Los Angeles, California. The mild temperatures and relaxed lifestyle make stepping out on State Street as comfortable as Oprah's chocolate spaniels. They live here too.

There is always an aloof edge to the S.B. ensemble; a certain dash of nonchalant attitude that describes the wearer. To get the look, we recommend layering casual pieces like Raw-7's cashmere Storm Hoodie with an uber-soft Nation Ltd. tee. Adding fresh Siwy cut-offs over chic Saint Grace leggings completes this autumn silhouette. Plus, An E.D.E. Studio bag can keep all your party gear organized.

Oh and, sandals are appropriate all year long. Pedicure required.
