Fabric First Profile | Samantha Wennerstrom, @couldihavethat

When it comes to fashion blogs, Samantha Wennerstrom’s gorgeous Could I Have That tops our list. What originally began as a creative outlet for sharing her favorite things, Samantha’s blog has grown into a thriving business while she’s become an influential force in the fashion world. Her Santa Barbara-based family has also grown to include a husband and a daughter and with it, her blog now includes fashion finds for minis, food ideas, home decorating inspiration, travel tips, and more. We love the laid-back California style she’s infused into her home and her fashion choices and were thrilled when she agreed to share some of her favorite things with us.
