Welcome to Issue One — a scrumptious taste of Santa Barbara Life & Style Magazine — Santa Barbara's behind-the-scenes black book to all things stylish, luxurious, and local. As our pilot issue, we are test driving a few concepts. We dabble in a little bit of everything around town and encourage you as our reader to offer improvements and local recommendations. Let us know what you would like to see! We want to have fun and feature a variety of lifestyle happenings around our beautiful city and coast.

The online (and one day print!) pages of Santa Barbara Life & Style Magazine feature all that is luxe, delicious, influential, and local to the American Riviera: luxury hot spots, must-have style, chic interiors, comfortable travel, exclusive events, and so much more. Perfectly packaged in our eco-friendly monthly issues and daily behind-the-scenes moments, we celebrate fine living, fun people, and this perfect little paradise of Santa Barbara.

Enjoy the inaugural issue. I hope to see you around this summer!

Dear Friends -

Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore

Santa Barbara

Some Like ItReal HotI t was a picturesque summer day at The Mikimoto

Polo Challenge. The event was filled with champagne,

super cars, gourmet local cuisine, VIP hot air balloon

rides and of course Mikimoto's fine pearl Jewelry with a polo

match to follow. The exclusive few were selected to ride the VIP

“Polo Balloon” where lunch was provided through battle of the

Chefs cookoff.

Look for EVENTS & ARTICLESevery month!

Back on land, Executive Chef Alesandro Cartumini from from the Four Seasons Biltmore, Executive Chef David Reardon from Bacara Resort & Spa, and Executive Chef Jason Tuley from Anchor WoodFire Kitchen each chose an exquisite dish to demonstrate and serve. Votes from the guests determined the winning dish. In the end, Chef Alesandro Cartumini from was the victor, with his salad of Maine lobster, peach, watercress, and avocado puree.

After the wine, Chef Cartumini was paraded around the polo field in a brand new Maserati.During the David and Goliath themed match, spectacular sportsmanshop was displayed under the Carpinteria sun. At the traditional Half-Time Divot Stomp, Lana Marme, a top fashion retailer in Montecito, awarded a $500 gift certificate to the winning Divot Diva. All proceeds went to the Polo Training Center Santa Barbara.

DID YOU KNOW?

Mikimoto's cultured Akoyal pearl necklaces became famous after one of Hollywood's most beloved stars, Marilyn Monroe, fashioned them quite frequently. The necklace was a gift from her second husband, baseball legend Joe DiMaggio, who purchased the necklace from Mikimoto, in Japan, while on their honeymoon. Like Monroe, guests at the event had a wonderful time trying on and purchasing Mikimoto pearls.

most relaxing setting with five

pedi, massage, hair, make up to

vegan spray tans, Cashmir provides

the top beauty trends combined

with luxurious products.

To get that natural summer glow,

you will want to experience

Cashmir’s newest hair color trend,

the “Flamboyage”.

This color treatment provides a

radiant, sun kissed look without any

foil or weave. The treatmeant uses

the very best product, Davine’s

hair color, which is filled with milk

proteins

that leaves

your hair

unbelievably

shiny,

strong, and

manageable.

The shine is not at all artificial, and

the color is dimensional without

looking washed out.

Cashmir is the best place to get

ready for that special event or spoil

yourself for a day of rejuvenation.

Avila Beach

After a short drive through the beautiful

California wine country and coastline I arrived in

Avila Beach, a quaint, cute and sophisticated little

town. With lush mountains behind me and the vast

ocean in front, I experienced the best of both worlds,

the perfect mix of rustic elegance in a serene and

relaxing beach front environment. To let you in

on the highlights, I relaxed at a luxury mineral spa,

wandered the beach, explored tide pools by a guided

boat tour, danced at the Avila Farmer’s Market,

indulged in some amazing champagne tasting...
