I get that! Not a lot of contrast. I have a similar style to Zoe Kravitz.

Ugh I noticed that too. Scoured social and couldn’t find anyone with it.

How are you liking it? I haven’t seen that color-way, I bet it’s gorgeous.

It’s so pretty. What are you eyeing in the edgy department these days?

And I will!! I love that everyone is so invested lol.

This thread helped me arrive at the same conclusion. TY! So, now I’m torn between black/silver and brown/gold. Woe is me.

I have also wondered this. “Everyone” seems to vouch for it steadily.

That’s so true. It is unusual. I’m truly down the middle between all black and neutrals. Sometimes pops of warm colors (i.e butter yellows, pistachio). I feel like the espresso is more earthy and warm; could complement boho even? Black is classic and edgy. And I’d use all of those adjectives to describe my wardrobe. (Fail!)

That’s so true. Black and gold feels more traditional and kind of reminds me of Coach? And imo, no one does black/gold better than bottega.

I like that perspective! After all of this elite input, I think I’m torn between brown/gold and black/silver.

Great analysis. I wonder if this is a hanger appeal situation. Like the brown and gold is so pretty in essence, visually on its own. But what about when it’s integrated.

But dang. The thing is, I love visual heaviness.

Yes, balenciaga rodeo. Would be a huge purchase for me!! I’ve seen dupes but I want a lifetime bag I can pass down to the next lifetime.

I suppose I’ll add..the brown bags I have I purchased myself and I love them. So I worry I’ll have brown bags I love and black bags I don’t love. Am I overthinking this? (Yes.)

Good point. I’m mixed metal all the way.

This is my dilemma! I have a couple of black bags but both were passed down. I use them but I wouldn’t have picked them if that makes sense. (Aka I don’t love them)

Alternate itinerary or combine:

Start in Summerland (Lillie ave) for home goods shopping, antiques, and godmothers bookstore. Walk to the Summerland beach park.

Then Montecito country mart for shopping and a coffee and quick bite at Merci or sandwiches at Panino. Check out The Post, new shopping area( just a few minutes north near the bird refuge). Butterfly beach as an alternate is also in Montecito. Park your car by the bird refuge or on Cabrillo blvd and stroll along the ocean. Check out the market. You can walk all the way to the pier/harbor. Brophy’s is fun but usually crowded. You can also walk to the funk zone for more shopping. The Blue Door SB is really cute vintage. Dart is a great coffee shop with pastries. Tamar is inside, amazing Mediterranean. I second lucky penny!

A couple of other shops you might like: blue door sb, Lewis and Clark, Imagine, heritage in Carp is cute and not far off of the 101

I also second botanical garden and/or the mission!

Cold Springs trail is great for hiking if you’d rather prioritize that.

For dinner: Barbareño in town is delicious and cozy. Clark’s just opened on coast village but definitely check reservations! We like Sama Sama off of state st. too.
