Embracing Versatility: Fashion Fitness Wear in Rainy Los Angeles

It’s been a chilly, rainy spring in the usually sunny streets of Los Angeles. Although I love it…my trenchcoat is on rotation, and it became evident that versatility in attire was key to navigating everyday raindrops. For the gray skies, there are a few styles that stood out—fashion fitness wear, seamlessly blending functionality with sporty elegance.

Maybe you’re off to your workout, a breakfast meeting, lunch meetings, or enjoying casual dinners. The adaptability of fashion fitness wear has been on repeat for me. Since I’m a huge leopard fan, this rain hat is now in its fourth season! Raindrops keep falling on my leopard head… all good!

Busting out my best “Nancy Drew” in this trench and fringe bag. I never travel without this phone-case brand.

This oversized but functional blazer effortlessly bridged the gap between professional attire and activewear, ensuring a polished appearance while maintaining my personal street style.

Evenings promised casual dinners with friends, where fashion fitness wear continued to shine. If you’re in search of a new & fun, uupbeat bistro, try Bar CouCou in West Hollywood. I’m a big fan!

I always appreciate a good graphic-T

These low-rise flair jeans look great with sneakers or heels. They're also a great price! A classic bag and classic heel, like this kitten heel, elevates your casual look to the next level.

That’s Buster, just making sure I’m on schedule…

Alo is releasing so many great styles and are a thumbs-up in my book for “what to wear to the airport”

My New Summer Sneaker

Casual, sporty, and so easy to wear

Stripes for the summer, love the softness of this Tee.

Everyday Casual and Airport Travel Wear

This blazer is my favorite when it comes to casual and stylish. I love the way the waistband looks when it’s buttoned in the front, and there are two pockets with zippers in the front. The material is easy to keep clean, and it’s a must-have for travel. People always ask me where I got this blazer.

Alot of look for an everyday - travel blazer.

This bag is a winner for me when I need that extra piece of luggage - slides over your luggage handle. Thanks to this strap, I breathed a little fresh air into this LV clutch.

MOTHER'S DAY GIFT GUIDE 2024

As Mother's Day approaches, my heart is filled with gratitude for the beautiful roles I cherish: a mother to my wonderful son and a devoted dog mom to the family's loyal companion. Each day with them fills my life with love and joy, teaching me patience, compassion, and the true meaning of unconditional love. Reflecting on Mother Earth and Mother Nature, I'm reminded of their endless beauty and the invaluable lessons of strength and flexibility. Thank you for the lessons passed down from my own mother, my grandmother’s, and the lessons I learn from my son; I am so grateful and appreciate the wisdom and resilience that motherhood has taught me.

Luca & Buster - One of the best days ever!!

One thing is for sure: being a mother doesn’t come with a handbook. I am grateful for my continued growth, patience, and understanding, which never stops. Happy Mother’s Day, friends. Luca and Buster, I’m so grateful to be your mom.

May we celebrate this day with gratitude and grace.

ADIDAS STYLE - UNIVERSAL STYLE

What's not to Love about Adidas. Feeling casual and a little youthful these days??  If so, then don't forget to grab a pair of Gazelles. The legendary Gazelle from Adidas was introduced way back in 1968... I'm pretty sure I heard that "Everything old is new again"  Go 50's!!

Thank goodness sneakers are here to stay. Now that we all truly crave the comfort of the sole and the soul... Every season brands from way back when keep raising the bar, and Adidas holds steadfast & true so if you missed the "Superstar" or the "Gazelle"  the first time around you'll have a second chance to buy their trusty kicks again.

Adidas Gazelle

 

Most of the time running around L.A. is a casual experience, so it's fun to have a favorite uniform to throw on for busy errand days. This casual jacket is my favorite all-weather black bomber jacket from Vie Active, and it's on sale right now. I throw it on when I'm headed to my yoga class or when I'm running around day or night. Its scuba-like Vieoprene fabric, so it's made for warmth and comfort.

Adidas makes this skinny cigarette pant.  They have an elastic waistband and hang low on the hips... they are a little baggy and they added their signature "racing stripes" on the side. 

Many times when I'm staring at my clothes, I ask "What do women in Paris wear"...oh yes, black! For a quick out-the-door look when you're running around and on-the-go.

Are you familiar with Cuyana?  I was introduced to Cuyana by a friend and, instantly I was drawn to their soulful vision and this bag. ClareV makes this vibrant green tassle. 

Also at Cuyana you'll find their Leather Travel Case Set.  These also make great gifts for a friend or the man in your life. At $110 you can't beat the price!!  Shop the post below.

I absolutely adore this perfume!

I absolutely adore this perfume!

Lacrème Beaute makes the most amazing products and now Victoria added her Fresh Cut Huile Parfum. You will feel like you've been transported to a rose garden amongst fresh cut flowers.

Just a few of my favorite things for on-the-go and feeling youthful, free & smelling pretty!
