Black and White Mix


It's  finally chilly here in Southern California!
Which means this weekend was the perfect time to style my
for a trip down to San Diego!


I have been so excited to style this black 
boiled wool vest!
I decided to give it a SoCal flair
by pairing it with all whites!


By styling with high contrast
I was able to highlight the fabulous architectural lines!
I really adore this vest.
It makes a dramatic  statement
and is so easy and fun to wear
especially with pockets and a hood!


I finished off my ensemble
with a bold dose of pearls.

I combined my signature pearl cuffs
that are still in development
with a 'B' brooch!

I'll let you in on a little secret …

This fabulous brooch 
started out as a Christmas ornament!

Like I always say
You can find great accessories
in all kinds of places if you keep eyes open!




I knew when I chose this vest
that 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 change
from my usual all neutral palette.
This palette works great for the holidays
and
will be fresh come the New Year as well!


So much so
I just knew I had to add this 
stellar beaded clutch to my wardrobe when I found it at
Le 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 joy
as you style your life
