Stella Carakasi Flagship Store Is Turning One!

 

Located right here on fabulous Fourth Street in Berkeley, California and less than a mile from Stella’s design studio, the Stella Carakasi flagship store is a dream realized. After successfully launching her online store, Stella wanted to create a beautifully curated boutique that was more than just a showroom, but a creative space to collaborate with other artists, local designers and to connect with her customers.

This past year has been an amazing journey for our entire team. We’ve launched two collections, staged fashion shows, collaborated with amazing female entrepreneurs and hosted incredible in-store events with local and non-profit organizations including: The Guild, Dress For Success, Watermark and The Berkeley School.

At the heart of our store you will find our stylists, who are creative and customer focused.  They delight in exceeding shopper expectations and are passionate about helping women realize their personal style.

Join us in-store July 7 and 8 as we celebrate our one year anniversary and enter a chance to win a $100 gift card! Can’t make it to Berkeley this weekend? No worries, we’ve pulled together our ultimate collection of Stella Carakasi’s top ten faves. Including flowing tunics, leggings made in San Francisco, lush pops of color and signature travel wear. Ready to start shopping?

 

 

 

 

Transition Styles

The Fall Transition theme has inspired some great conversations about life. How can we manage all the different transitions that are happening at the same time? No matter what the situation, it always helps to be: 1) comfortable and feel fabulous, 2) dressed appropriately for the occasion, and 3) prepared for the unexpected.

My advice: set aside some time to think, prepare, process, and then ride it with style!

With one foot in summer and one foot reaching for fall, you may be wondering how to deal with the changing weather. Here in the SF Bay Area, we have to dress for the cool, gray fog in the morning and the hot sunshine in the afternoon, so we have a lot of practice on this topic. And, since we have both the summer and fall collections available now, we thought it would be fun to suggest some styles to help bridge the seasons.

Express Yourself Top + Second Nature Capri Leggings + Over Everything Cardigan

Made You Look Tunic + Time Will Tell Cardigan

Free & Easy Dress + Play Your Cards Right Jacket

The BEST idea yet, is that we are throwing a Fall Transition Style PARTY at the Stella Studio for local customers on Wednesday, September 11th from 4-7pm. Bring your girlfriends to this event! Come for the wine & cheese, stay for the style tips!
