Given you’re often on-the-go, what are your go-to pieces for transitioning from day to night?

It’s always in the accessories for me. I like to throw a blazer over my look, add some bold jewels and of course add a heel.

What does Santa Barbara style mean to you?

After growing up in Manhattan Beach, and then spending time in San Diego for college, [I’ve noticed] Santa Barbara [style] to be more refined. It has a cooler temperature, so [there’s] lots of layering. It’s more Ralph Lauren, and gives a “coastal with a touch of hippie” vibe.

How do you style jewelry in a way that feels true to you and pulls a look together?

Styling jewelry is extremely personal, and I always encourage my girlfriends to build it throughout the years and not to acquire an entire collection at once. Your jewelry should tell a story and adding the pieces one by one helps create a thoughtful, put together collection.

How does it feel knowing that your outfit helps send girls to school?

Any time a business is willing to give back to a charitable cause it’s amazing. I love that Olivela is helping girls get the education they deserve. Building a solid foundation for learning is crucial for building confidence and setting them up for future success.
