No. 112 // VISITING SANTA BARBARA

THROWBACK //

It’s been a few years, but I am back in beautiful Santa Barbara and staying at the gorgeous El Encanto. The plans call for soaking up some sun, wine tasting, and attending a polo match (I wore a pink suit!) Back to NYC tomorrow!

Question: Why are your street style looks always so formal?

Answer: I guess the short answer is that I really just enjoy getting dressed up. I always prefer to be overdressed versus underdressed. Everyone has their own take on personal style, and while I love to follow a lot of more casual fashion bloggers (Jules from Sincerely Jules can make denim shorts look chic like no other), I am more comfortable in something a bit more fancy. I am also asked quite frequently if I actually wear these outfits, and the answer is 100% yes!

I packed this ruffle midi dress for the trip. This season, more orange pieces seem to be finding their way into my closet!
