What's In My Suitcase: Montecito Edition

Montecito bound for a long weekend with a group of couple friends that have become like family.

Growing up in North Carolina, going to California was basically like going to Europe, and despite now living much closer to the West Coast, it still always feels like such an adventure to me. I am so unfamiliar with it in many ways and the Santa Barbara area I’ve only ever really passed through.

So looking forward to exploring it with a few natives and enjoying their expert recommendations, with a side of perfect California weather, of course.

Still in my stripe and neon era and thinking they both may be here to stay for me. (Katie Kime top (launching soon), Farm Rio, Goyard.

Red is having a major fashion moment and while it’s never been a color I’ve had a lot of, I’m going for it. Chanel, Alexis, Lizzie Fortunato.

Here for all the white jeans and (Spring) sweater weather. J.Crew, Gap, Gabriela Hearst for Roger Clergerie.
