Santa Barbara Casual Lifestyle Sunheart Boho Clothing

“The sea can do craziness, it can do smooth, it can lie down like silk breathing or toss havoc shoreward; it can give gifts or withhold all; it can rise, ebb, froth like an incoming frenzy of fountains, or it can sweet-talk entirely. As I can too, and so, no doubt, can you, and you.”
Santa Barbara is a beautiful town, it was a sleepy town, even with all our Hollywood stars, but we politely ignore them when we see them in parks, or at organic food groceries.
But then there was that soap opera; Santa Barbara 1984-1993. And suddenly we were put on the Map of the World. These kinds of things have consequences. Everyone wanted to live here suddenly, so landlords became rapacious and rents first doubled, then trebled, and then?
A house that was renting for $1,200 a month suddenly was $3,500 and could they get more $4,500? My friends and I, renters of course, were tossed on the sea of greed as well as everyone else. There was a great exodus of locals that left this lovely hometown because of it. But we lived through that too.
We do have the Sea at the foot of our town, the sea, the sea, the shining sea.... and like Mary Oliver countless dawns, days and sunsets have I seen at all the different beaches here.
Mostly we are a perfect example of California casual lifestyle clothing. We like comfortable casual clothing, natural fabrics of course, and we wear sandals eleven months of the year.
Sunheart's choice of apparel is influenced by being born in Santa Barbara; the colors of the beach, rippling bougainvillea vines, Mexican food and folk art, and the casual sand from shoes and wet pants from strolling along the beach.
Sunheart celebrates our 16th year online offering beautiful clothing in luscious fabrics, fashionable style for small to plus size figures.
We are still a small shop focused on providing lovely women's wear and now branching out to home goods too.
Thank you for being part of the growing SunHeart tribe and we look forward to surfing the waves and staying on our board....amid all the sea changes.

In the "fashion biz" we order the fall line in spring, so it's a weird time world we live in. But the Cut-Loose order for fall came in last week, and my friend Mary (who is loosening up as a model right?) comes over and we did a shoot on Sunday morning.

January 25, 2019
OH MY! FINALLY OVER 50, SINGLE AND I HAVE BEEN ASKED OUT ON A DATE FOR DINNER AT A LOVELY RESTAURANT. YES, I LIKE THE GUY! IN THE OLD DAYS I WOULD MAKE SURE TO BE "NICE" AND LISTEN TO EVERYTHING HE SAYS, NOD IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES ...BUT NOT ANYMORE. I'M GOING TO BE LIKE CATWOMEN AND TAKE MY CHANCES BEING ME!
I AM GOING TO WEAR SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL BUT COMFORTABLE, AND AS I THREW AWAY ALL MY (PAINFUL) HIGH HEELS IT'S LEATHER MULES AND LINEN I THINK. I HAVE THE SILK BOHO TOP & LINEN WIDE LEG PANTS FROM TIME FOR A CHANGE CLOTHING AND WITH MY NEW EARRINGS & NECKLACE, I AM READY TO BE WHO I REALLY AM; INTELLIGENT, FUN AND PRETTY FLIRTY. J.Martin
Time for a Change?
January 22, 2019
EVERY WOMAN AT SOME POINT IN THEIR LIFE DECIDES TO MAKE A CHANGE, SOME CHANGES ARE RADICAL OTHER'S HAVE TO DO WITH INTERNAL CHANGES, SHIFTS AND BALANCES.
Going too Fast? Let's Slow it Down.
January 20, 2019

OUR LIVES ARE LIVED WAY TOO FAST, WE RECEIVE SO MUCH INFORMATION ACROSS THE WORLD WE CANNOT PROCESS EFFECTIVELY. SOMEHOW, WE HAVE FAR TOO MUCH TO DO AND WE CANNOT ACCOMPLISH IT ALL, SO WE GO INTO POWER MODE TO TRY TO GET EVERYTHING DONE.
BUT WE SIMPLY CAN'T KEEP UP THE PUSH, THE STRESS AND THE LATE NIGHTS; AT SOME POINT IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE AND WE REALIZE WE HAVE TO LET GO AND BE HERE NOW.

Hey! When is that last time you laid on the Lounge & Read a Good Book? Birds tweeting?
