Meghan Markle: The Icon of Southern California Style

Meghan Markle Graces Godmothers Bookstore Opening

Meghan Markle is many things: an actor, a mother, a Northwestern University alum, and a former working royal, but now she’s adding defender of print media to that ever-growing list. Markle stopped by the brand-new Godmothers Bookstore in Summerland, California, ahead of its opening last week. Godmothers, mind you, is no average indie book shop. It’s co-founded by former WME literary agent Jennifer Rudolph Walsh, and Markle was among the guests at the star-studded fête.

A Fashion Icon at Work

For her outing, the Duchess of Sussex looked the picture of a Montecito mom. She wore a slouchy navy V-neck sweater paired with sailor pants, giving her outfit a certain nautical energy. Markle’s accessories elevated her look from a casual errands vibe to a shining example of Santa Barbara style: low-key and beachy, but extremely luxe.

• Oversized woven straw bucket hat for sun protection
• Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses for a stylish edge
• Gold jewellery including a Cartier Love bracelet and Juste Un Clou necklace
• Black woven Bottega Veneta wallet
• Matchbook keychain from Anya Hindmarch reading “take what you need”

We need Meghan Markle’s look in our closets, stat!
