Casual Chic in Santa Barbara

I have a lovely friend and client in Santa Barbara who wanted a casual chic look.  This means something casual with a dressy edge.  Things you could wear out to dinner or to a book club or possibly on a date.  We started in her closet and with what she already owned (which is all gorgeous)! She wanted me to put together a Lookbook first with mostly what she owns and then give her a lookbook with the "holes" or things that can be added to her wardrobe.  She so graciously agreed to let me share this project with all of you! She is as lovely on the inside as she is on the outside. These photos barely scratch the surface, but this is the idea:

This is a Joie Cashmere sweater with Paige denim floral jeans. Charcoal grey Miu Miu high heels. Miu Miu clutch.

Zara Peplum shirt, Gap pink cord skinny pants, Zara velvet skeleton slipper shoes 

Rebecca Taylor silk cream with gold polka dot shirt with brown and black animal print jeans, Nude Jimmy Choo heels.  Hermes gold bangle. (Fendi bag--that is mine but she liked it with her outfit!)

Gold Alice and Olivia sequined shirt, Brown and black animal print jeans

Joie cashmere charcoal sweater, 7 for all Mankind Gwenevere jeans,Via Spiga grey snake skin booties, Miu Miu clutch, diamond bangles.

Black Prada silk shirt, camel cord skinny pants, red Valenino shoes, Miu Miu, rose gold emerald necklace, Hermes bangle

Roberto Coin Gold diamond hoops, Hermes bangle

J crew necklace, gap studded bracelet

Emerald necklace surrounded by diamonds and rose gold (I die over this necklace--I told her it reminds me of Princess Diana--LOVE!!!)

Rose colored theory leather jacket, silk Leifsdottir shell, grey J Brand skinny jeans, Gucci bow belt, grey suede and snake skin booties, snake scarf

Via Spiga grey snake skin and suede booties

diamond bangles--these are STUNNING--the clear diamonds on top and bottom and in the middle a black diamond bangle.  This looks great with EVERYTHING!

Some things/looks to think about adding that fit her style and what she already owns:
