I want to shop locally but ....I bought a dress and when I tried it on  I realized it was too short.  I work a full time job and take care of aging parents who just lost their house to a fire. my life is complicated enough. ... I brought it back two weeks and two days later.  The young woman said it was past their two week policy.  I asked for a store credit. She said she'd have to ask her manager -- after trying to call her "three times" she explained her manager has young children and was probably with them. ok?!  but I just want a store credit.  she repeated a !! few !! more times how it was against their two week policy.  I want to shop locally but i won't be back.  :-(

Chapala and Parker is an absolute gem when it comes to boutique shopping. Not only do they sell local handmade items such as jewelry, candles, and small accessories, but the quality and variety of their clothing is refreshing. A while back I started getting my hair done at Carlyle Salon, which is a whole other amazing review in itself but to keep the focus in this review, I thought that this quaint little boutique tucked inside a salon was a major bonus. I've found some of my most favorite statement pieces and outfits at Chapala and Parker. Everything from an embroidered floral clutch that matches with everything, to a romper that I never thought would compliment my shape, to earrings that I never take off, and candles I never want to blow out! They feature a variety of different clothing pieces from casual to date-night looks, and they're always "in-season". No matter the occasion there is always something extra special and cute to be found at Chapala and Parker. Last Friday I visited the boutique with a friend, it had been a long time since we stopped by and we needed an end of the week pick-me-up. Due to Covid, there was a sign prompting us to call before we entered so that someone could let us in. Someone who was wearing a mask, and who kindly asked to please use the hand sanitizer provided before entering, came to let us in. THIS IS SO MAJORLY IMPORTANT!My friend and I had been to the boutique in the Funk Zone prior to coming to Chapala and Parker and there was NO sanitizer whatsoever in sight and the employees reluctantly put masks on whenever someone entered the store, which also did NOT seem to be regulated in any way. We did not feel that we were being kept safe there, however we were pleasantly surprised and excited to see that Chapala and Parker was practicing safe Covid methods for shoppers, and that they were still operating on regular business hours.I recognized the woman as the Carlyle salon owner Lisa, who is just the sweetest most friendly woman on the planet. She made my friend and I feel as if we all three knew each other and engaged in conversation with us for almost the entire time we were in the boutique. My friend and I left with timeless outfits that could be worn all season, cute affordable earrings to match, and mostly the feeling that our stop in the shop that Friday meant something more than just retail therapy. All in all, I highly recommend Chapala and Parker as one of the best and friendliest boutiques in Santa Barbara :)
