We're Trading Our Heels for These 4 Flat Shoes This Spring

Kitten Heels Loafers & Sneakers All Day Long

 Melissa Meyers and I recently shared the 2021 trends we’re going to prioritize this year.

California-based influencers Janet Gunn and Melissa Meyers recently shared the 2021 trends they’re going to prioritize this year. In terms of shoes, the silhouette that reigned supreme were flat, chunky styles. Given that comfort is of utmost importance these days with a focus on relaxed fashion, it’s no surprise that a flat shoe made it to the top of the list. On that note, we thought we’d ask Gunn and Meyers for a full edit of the flat shoes they’re gravitating towards this spring.

While we do still wear heels from time to time (mainly lower or chunkier heels), we’re going to start trading in some of those heels for the flat shoes coming your way. With all that in mind, keep scrolling to check out a range of visual and shopping inspiration in case you’re interested in adding a fresh shoe silhouette into your offering as well. It sure was nice to be out and about together again with Who What Wear.

Bells & Beck White Flat

"The holy grail of classic married with style, a great loafer will take you places year-round. For spring, we like ours on the light side (white is always a fresh choice), along with this year’s chain detail to add the perfect fashion-forward touch." — Gunn

One of my go-to’s this season has been my leather blazer from AS by DF

"Almost as versatile as a loafer in our book, you’ll see us wearing our sneakers with everything from joggers to a midi dress." — Meyers

I added these Golden Goose sneakers with my Natori slip/dress / Oversized Blazer

It’s nice to be out and about together and we always enjoy sharing our fashion with you. Cheers to springtime, style and comfort!

Thank you for reading and have a wonderful kick-off to spring, health and happiness!

Field Trip To Sydney Evan Showroom- Bring Your Shine

Taking a field trip to the Sydney Evan fine jewelry showroom in L.A. always makes me feel like a kid in a candy store! I can spend hours there, trying on everything in sight. Yes, every piece is gorgeous and beautifully crafted, but my favorite thing about their designs is the messaging. Each piece is a collectible meant to tell a story and celebrate the uniqueness of the person who wears it. Maybe you’ve noticed my “grateful” necklace I always wear, this was my first SE piece and it serves as a great reminder every time I see it.  See a short clip of my trip to Sydney Evan below.               

We are all writing our own epic tale, one day at a time. And, when we wake up each morning, we can choose how that day’s chapter will be written. Unlimited edits allowed! So, with March dedicated to honoring women and their stories, it’s the perfect time to select a unique piece from Sydney Evan to embody the core message of yours.

Polène - My French Girl Crush

Some fashion items come and go but lovely classics stay forever especially when it comes to handbags. I want to share my new discovery from Polène, she’s Parisian and she’s a keeper. I love her minimal, modern style and her cool IT girl design aesthetic. She’s confident and on-trend, yet classic, with the most fluid and graceful curves. Can you see why I’m in love…with my new Polène handbag? This is the Polène signature bag - the “Numero Huit” also known as the number eight. I personally think she’s more of a ten though….

Founded in 2016, Polène is a Paris-based, family-owned leather brand crafted in Spain. They had me at Paris and Spain! Paris because I was engaged there and Spain because I can’t wait to go there. Anyway, both are synonymous with expert craftsmanship and design.  I’ve been road-testing my crush for a few weeks, taking her everywhere with me. Keep scrolling to see how my new French “amie “ and I have been rolling!

I do admire their elegant attention to detail on all their bags, I love the two knots that dress the strap where it meets the top handle, the suede leather lining, and the gold-plated stainless steel hardware, and of course, hands-free if needed.

Polène’s attention to detail and quality is on par with top high-end designers, but with a price point that is très Magnifique! A classic bag I’ll keep forever.

Visit their website to see all the different styles and colors available. Who knows, maybe one day you might want to add one of these under-the-radar luxury bags to your collection for that French girl flair.

Au Revoir!
