Born in New York and raised in Santa Barbara, Wendy Foster’s life reads like a vibrant tapestry of travel, creativity, and entrepreneurship. A local icon, some would say Wendy invented the “quiet luxury, understated elegance” at the heart of Santa Barbara style. After years of global exploration, Wendy returned home to the American Riviera, where a chance meeting with Pierre Lafond led to a dynamic partnership both in life and business. Together, they transformed a humble wine shop into a growing series of beloved local institutions, with Wendy leading her eponymous clothing stores. For more than 50 years, the Wendy Foster family of stores has curated collections at their ﬁve retail locations that blend timeless elegance, everyday luxury, and distinct tailoring; all with a relaxed approach, suiting the lifestyle of beautiful Santa Barbara. Her stores reﬂect a unique ability to bring global sophistication and effortless style to the local community.

SCOUTED DESTINATION

Newp t Beach Sand, surf, and sophisticated charm: Newport Beach delights with California’s quintessential offerings and its own unique flair. For a town so steeped in seafaring history and surfing tradition, Newport Beach didn’t get a particularly seaworthy start. Back in the 1830s, Newport Beach was known as Bolsa de San Joaquin, boasting 14,000 head of cattle, 3,000 horses, and zero boats. Shipping – and the first iteration of the town’s name – came in the 1870s as commercial shipping took off. In 1902, Newport added “Beach” to their moniker, which attracted tourists and Hollywood elite, including Shirley Temple, James Cagney, and John Wayne. At the same time, surfers were flocking to The Wedge, which is still world-famous today. Coastal charm met California glamor with an ample dose of surf culture.

P ho t o b y : Wyat t M ulle r | @ w yat t_mul l er

Today, Newport Beach life still revolves around the water, boats – from commercial vessels to the quintessential Duffy – reign in what’s the largest recreational harbor on the west coast; surfing is all but ubiquitous; and anglers still bring in a great fresh catch. But you’re as likely to find internationally renowned brands as you are a mom-and-pop sweet shop. To help you navigate both and direct you to local favorites, we’ve shared finds and activities for hitting the town (and waves) of Newport Beach and surrounding Orange County.
