STYLING MY VERONICA BEARD BLAZER

Springing Into Spring in Veronica Beard Fashion

I think I have more blazers in my closet than anything else, well… besides denim. Veronica Beard Blazers, along with Anine Bing, are my top two go-to’s for fashion, fit, and overall classic styles. I always feel pulled together when wearing Veronica Beard, and Annie Bing is more of a casual, oversized, and every day go-to.

VB does cut for petite or if you’re looking for a more tailored fit. I also have quite a few VB jeans. I usually get the cropped ones, so I’m not making a trip to the tailor. 

These blue pants fit great and, together with the blazer, put you in the mood for spring! I recently co-hosted an event for their new boutique in Newport Beach at Fashion Island if you’re in the area.

Here are a similar pair, you can also find them on resale sites.

The Blazer looks great paired with denim, whether for casual or evening wear. These denim Aminas have been on repeat when I wear my denim on denim. Link to my cream silk shirt underneath the blue blazer.

I’ve been living in these denim jeans, super wide-leg and soooo comfortable  Couldn’t resist these Denim Sandals from Roam Wears; oh, if you live in LA, they now have a store at the Glen Center off of Beverly Glen! Look Optic never disappoints when it comes to affordable and stylish readers.

I recently gave a little TLC to my YouTube Channel, Janet Gunn Grateful Gardenia. Here is the link for styling my Blazer and pants. I’m really enjoying the YouTube world. It’s super time-consuming, but I do love the editing process. If you like it; please subscribe, and feel free to ask questions there. 

My dear friend Cathy Williamson makes frequent visits to LA now… thanks to the granddaughters who live here, so it’s great to see her. We are having so much fun working with Madison Maison here in Beverly Hills. Cathy and I are big loafer fans… well shoes in general… who am I kidding! Anyway, it’s been so fun to create content with the founder, and the new styles just keep on coming! Please use my code Janet15 on their website, or pop in the store on Brighton Way and let Virginia know you’re my friend.

For skin, I will always suggest OneSkin, because it works! It’s the only skincare with the OSO1 peptide, so this sets it apart from all others! Please use my code Janet15 and now they are having a great sale on their bundles! Check out their Travel Kit too.

Stop by Euro Cafe on Canon Dr. for breakfast or lunch and visit Euro Gastronomia, a boutique Italian deli offering cheeses, pre-packaged goods, pasta, wine, and other imported Italian groceries; and an overall good time! You’ll find a cheering crowd huddled around a big monitor if you're a soccer fan.

I hope you have a great week ahead. Thank you for reading. It’s been a while since I’ve posted a blog post, but I’m finally finding my groove and getting back at it.

I Just Got Back From a Destination Wedding, and This Is the Outfit I Wore

Last month we attended a black-tie destination wedding in Saint Barthelemy, so I searched to strike the perfect balance between elegance and comfort.

Read Who What Wear Feature Here

Ultimately, I opted for a floor-length one-shoulder gown with feathered trim from Taller Marmo. I wanted to focus on a dress that was elegant and sophisticated, with a touch of old Hollywood glamour. Taller Marmo is known for its lighter-than-air satin kaftans and asymmetric gowns that ripple with fringes, ostrich feathers, and gorgeous colors.

To complement the beachy and sophisticated vibe, my accessories from Cult Gaia, including a bag, sunglasses, and hair clips (similar) were perfect for the celebration; simple, sleek, and elegant with the pearl touches.

Eres is always a destination favorite with its beautiful colors and classic styles. This black one-piece is also super supportive, and I love the asymmetrical one-shoulder touch featuring a center-front cutout and twist detailing; plus, the strap can be worn on either shoulder to allow for a customizable fit.

Here is a new brand that I’m excited to share with you; this jumper is so comfortable and also works as a bathing suit cover-up. My caftan is over ten years old; I continue adding caftans to my closet; they never go out of style!

Natalie Martin's pieces are stylish and the easiest to pack. Just roll them up, and you are set for a week of feeling chic and comfortable. (especially when it’s hot out) Most of her pieces can be dressed up or down; she's a great resource if you’re packing for carry-on only. Bag / Sandals / Necklace

My husband wore David August along with all the other men; you can read more about his clothing brand here. Loved the simplicity of this small bag, and it’s perfect for carrying just the essentials.

Sonja wore Monique Lhuillier

Cheers to the guy who makes the coolest fancy pants I know. On the night before the wedding, David designed pants that were made for all the men, and it set the tone, I must say. All the guys looked fantastic!

Congratulations to our dear friends, Sonja and David; we had the most incredible time celebrating your wedding day and meeting your family and friends!

The FootCloud Gel Cushions - Chrysmela (earring saver)

You can never go wrong with a pair of Aminas. I adore the rhinestones on these strappy sandals, and the only way I survived dancing the night away, The FootCloud Gel Cushions, saved my feet. Also, all my earrings are now replaced with Chrysmela - the most secure, lock-and-unlock earring back on the market, and that’s a fact!!

See Video Here That was a fun ride!

Hope the rest of your summer is fun and relaxing!! Thank you for reading, xoxo, Janet
