WEEKEND GETAWAY: SANTA BARBARA
Out of office…
My husband and I decided to drive up the coast for Memorial Day Weekend. I love Santa Barbara - it was the perfect place to get some new inspiration & ideas for upcoming projects. Check out my favorite spots to eat, stay, & shop!
Stay
I’m obsessed with this new boutique hotel in the historic Presidio District of Downtown Santa Barbara! Its vintage-preppy meets Americana Riveria design style gives the hotel a romantic, whimsical feel — perfect for a weekend escape! I loved every aspect from the chic cocktail bar to the Mediterranean style courtyard where we enjoyed cocktails and small bites. I can’t wait to visit again!
Shop
Garde is always my first stop! It has everything from home accessories and gifts to exquisite furniture pieces.
Stroll the streets of Summerland, just a few miles outside of Downtown Santa Barbara. It has the cutest home stores filled with unique textiles, antiques, and more!
Eat
This chic neighborhood restaurant is the perfect combination of Italian meets Californian cuisine. Wood-fired pizzas paired with a spritz on the patio makes Bettina the perfect date night spot!
We loved sitting outside at Cold Spring Tavern, listening to live music & enjoying the BEST onion rings I’ve ever had!! What once was a stagecoach stop in the 1800s is now a local favorite for casual dining.
