Date Night-Eighties Throwback by Ashley Tammietti, Blue Bee Buyer

As the buyer for Blue Bee Boutique day in and day out I help people figure out what to where to all different kinds of occasions using items from my favorite collections. I'm offering options and maybe a solution to the people who can't visit us at the boutique and maybe help you to answer the inevitable daily/nightly problem we all deal with while staring into the closet. I will share with you my favorite things to wear to parties, events, venues etc. Take from it what you will, I hope to inspire and excite you about whatever it is you're wearing to wherever it is you're going.


Dress: Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Silk Sheath with Glass Beads
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Pumps in Stucco
Bracelet: Tigerlily Silver and Swarovski Layering Necklace wrapped as bracelet.



This dress wooed me the second it came out the box. Envision walking into the swankiest lounge in town in this vibrant, exquisitely detailed bad boy. I styled it with nude pumps to show off even more killer legs, and wrapped a silver and swarovski 40" necklace around the wrist to emphasize the silver glass beading on the dress. Peace/Love.

Send me your own what to wear dilemmas at ashley@bluebee.com, I'd be happy to help.

A Stitch in Time – A Visit to the Stitch’s Jeans Showroom
by Marty Bebout, Co-Owner and Merchandise Manager, Blue Bee

You gotta LOVE the uber-awesome western styling of Stitch’s Jeans, the super exclusive brand designed in California. Using very special fabrics sewn with interesting details and hardware, Stitch’s Jeans are assembled to have a perfect fit for men and for women.


Our denim buyers, Emily Zienkiewicz and Jessica Dennison went with me to the Stitch’s Showroom in the New Mart in downtown Los Angeles. We have had such a great summer with the cool brand’s offering this summer, that we need to see what styles are available for immediate delivery. We sell Stitch’s Jeans at Blue Beetle for men and Blue Bee Jeans for women, both located on State Street in downtown Santa Barbara. Also they are available on our website, www.bluebee.com.



Above, Natasha and I are pretending to be models. Well SHE looks like a model anyway! Natasha looks great in anything, but Stitch’s Jeans make all girls look sexy, yet relaxed.

Endless Summer Style


Introducing Daniel Corrigan, who is a talented stylist at Blue Bee Men in Santa Barbara, CA.
"I got to thinking today that I could define a period of time in a single outfit and this one happens to be my summer outfit. It's strange to think about it but I would be willing to bet every piece of clothing you own has a unique story. I don't know what it is about this outfit that I like so much but I seem to wear it all the time. My outfit is made up of a few key pieces; the hat is from Nice Collective, tank top from NSF (paint stains from doing Serfontaine shop in shop) , short (previously pants) by Ksubi, shirt by Trovata, and lastly (and might be my favorite) are the shoes by John Varvatos for Converse dubbed the Low Profiles. I guess this is my semi introduction and you can expect some rad things in the near future. Hope this gives you inspiration for your summer uniform."
