Being from Atlanta and now living in Santa Barbara, I have had to adapt to the change in shopping. Since I love clothes, I was lucky to have 3 malls containing a wide variety of shops right at my fingertips in Atlanta but now, I pretty much just have State Street. As much as I love going downtown with my friends, the shopping doesn’t even compare to what I am used to but, today I will be sharing a few of my favorite shops to go to that are worth browsing in SB.

First, I have always loved Urban Outfitters. Urban offers a wide variety of unique styles coming from numerous brands along with small trinkets that are perfect for a friend’s birthday. The store itself is very spacious and the layout makes the clothes easily accessible.

Another store that I had actually never heard of before moving was Brandy Melville. This store has a certain trend and style that they sell including small tank tops, crops, and of course, the mom jeans. I like Brandy because it is affordable and normally has very cute and simple items. The store is quaint but, the one thing everyone consistently says is that because it is so popular, most of the time when you go to school, there will be someone wearing the same outfit.

Next, one of my personal favorites is the Beach House. The Beach House has the most adorable beach clothes and the atmosphere is very chill and welcoming. (I actually love this store so much I got a summer job working here.) They have all different beachy brands including Roxy, Billabong, Rip Curl, Voltcom, Quiksilver, Hurley, RVCA, O’Neil, Vans, and many others. I personally love their rompers, sun dresses, swimsuits, and sandals because they are really good quality and their items last me a long time. The one downside to the store is that because it is a touristy spot, there clothes are pricier but, most of the time you can find a good deal.

Finally, I love taking a stop in American Eagle. The main reason I like to go into this store is for their jeans. Their jeans are so comfortable and stretchy and have so many different styles and colors to choose from. The jeans they have are really nice quality and are perfect for anyone. Despite not having as many store options as I am used to, I have found to love these four stores, so the next time your downtown, I would definitely recommend stopping in!
