I've always done it using the x:Static Markup Extension. The key is to set the source to Settings.Default and the path to the desired setting like so:

<Window x:Class="SettingsBindSample.Window1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:s="clr-namespace:SettingsBindSample.Properties"
    Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
    <Window.Resources>
        <CollectionViewSource x:Key="MyItems" 
      Source="{Binding MyCollection, Source={x:Static s:MySettings.Default}}" />
    </Window.Resources>
    <StackPanel>
        <ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource MyItems}}" />
    </StackPanel>
</Window>
