Splendid Closet | Winter Puffer Vest

Fur Collar Puffer Vest, Juicy Couture Puffer Vest, Moncler Tarn Puffer Vest, Black Puffer VestIts getting cold outside! I love a good chill in the air but, dread lugging around heavy jackets and coats when its cold.  Especially, if you’re trying to get some holiday shopping done.  The perfect alternative is a puffer vest!  It keeps your core warm so you don’t need a heavy coat and its light and fluffy.  I have a ton of them in multiple colors and styles.  It’s definitely a winter closet must have!

Check out these two splendid finds…

Moncler – Tarn Vest – $1150 | Juicy Couture – Black Shimmer Puffer Vest – $295

PULP Fashion

Dressing a room is similar to dressing yourself.  Start with basics and dress it up with art, lighting and accessories.  This room, designed by Pulp Design Studios (that’s us!), inspired these fashion selections with its basic neutrals,  mixture of textures and a little glitz.  The end result…a simple cozy fall ensemble.

1.) Sweater, 2.) Necklace, 3.) Scarf, 4.) Wedge Bootie, 5.) Jeans, 6.) Purse, 7.) Watch 

Does your home resemble the way you dress?
