I took a weekend break from pharmacy school and on my way back from a recital visited the Montecito location. I have been shopping Wendy Foster in Santa Barbara since I was 18 years old. I am now 26. I grew up in Texas and every year I would ask my dad to visit California just to shop at Wendy Foster. With this background I can say this location is my favorite. This is my first time visiting the dress shop at Montecito. I purchased two tops, two scarves, a dress, a necklace, and some vintage pins. I can’t say I will ever return to the state street location because this one is everything I could ever want. I tried on things for 2.5 hours talking with the wonderful staff and ardently trying to decide what to buy. It is truly a beautiful location and concept with an excellent buyer. It embodies the french style of dressing and offers truly unique items. I felt like for a moment I was Beatrix Ost and the Olsen twins. I ended my wonderful experience at the Wendy Foster Bistro which by Dina. I regret only one thing that I am not personally related to such a wonderful keen eye for fashion like the owner, Wendy Foster. But thank you for giving me a special experience with a truly amazing staff. –Georgette from Texas who wishes she lived in Montecito :)
