It's finally chilly here in Southern California!Which means this weekend was the perfect time to style myStella Carakasi
Take Note Vestfor a trip down to San Diego!
I have been so excited to style this black asymmetrical boiled wool vest!I decided to give it a SoCal flairby pairing it with all whites!
By styling with high contrastI was able to highlight the fabulous architectural lines!I really adore this vest.It makes a dramatic statementand is so easy and fun to wearespecially with pockets and a hood!
I finished off my ensemblewith a bold dose of pearls.
I combined my signature pearl cuffsthat are still in developmentwith a 'B' brooch!
I'll let you in on a little secret …
This fabulous brooch started out as a Christmas ornament!
Like I always sayYou can find great accessoriesin all kinds of places if you keep eyes open!
I knew when I chose this vestthat I wanted it to be a player with my black hats!
And it does just what I was hoping!
I am having major top hat love right now!Especially with this vest.
I just love the architectural interplay that is happening with these pieces!
I am quite excited to be playing with black and whites for a changefrom my usual all neutral palette.
So much soI just knew I had to add this stellar beaded clutch to my wardrobe when I found it atLe Bel Age
in San Diego!Always a stop for me!
It's the shop I've found so many of my gorgeous kimonos!
I hope you are all enjoying your own holiday styling this month!
As always my friends
I wish you love and joyas you style your life
