A Perfect Pairing

GRAZIELA GEMS Jewelry Designer Graziela Kaufman and Maison Atia Founder and Designer Chloe Mendel brought their gorgeous, modern-classic designs to The Lake Forest Shop in early December. A small group gathered at Ellen Stirling’s cornerstone boutique in December to peruse and try on the designers’ utterly wearable pieces. Attendees fell hard for Mendel’s soft faux furs, from the reversible peacoats to her full-length, happy-hued trenches. Kaufman’s hand-designed jewelry—loved by A-Listers Taylor Swift and Jennifer Lopez, to name a few—were declared stunning sparklers that any woman would love and never want to take off. It was unanimously agreed upon that both women’s designs work beautifully with casual, coffee run outfits and evening ensembles alike. A perfect pairing indeed.
