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.

Feels like home! returning back to where I lived in the ’80s now that our son is attending S.M.U and it’s a great feeling. Six years ago I met my dear friend Cathy Williamson pictured here and thanks to Chico’s who brought us together in NYC, along with other talented bloggers from the U.S. and we’ve all stayed in touch and supportive of one another. I could have never dreamed that one day I would return in this way. Not only have Cathy and I become close over the years but her whole family has also welcomed us in, (see her mom below) and we’re sooo grateful to have them close to Luca and look forward to our visits. This past weekend we had the best time in their kitchen with the fam and listening to their son’s fun college days. Oh and Cathy’s husband’s name… Buster and Buster and Buster (our dog) share the same birthday. It was all meant to be… I’m convinced!

Cathy and I are both regulars with Who What Wear, our go-to for fashion and styling ideas, and we’re thrilled to be together for this feature, thank you, Bobby Schuessler, we appreciate all you do! We hope you have a chance to check out the article on Who What Wear! We are so excited, I’ve focused on blazers, shackets, jeans, and T-shirts for this blog post. Our go-to for blazers are Veronica Beard. They fit great, and they've designed one for every occasion. Their classic collection is so chic and looks great with jeans or leather."

Highland Park Village has great shopping along with our favorite spots, Honor Bar and Mi Cocina and the Christmas lights were a spectacular sight.

We turn to Janet Gunn and Cathy Williamson on a regular for their inspiring style. For reference, Gunn lives in L.A. and Williamson lives in Dallas. (Gunn has also lived in Texas in the past.) Given that we’re often intrigued by what people are wearing in various cities, we thought we’d get a sense from both of them about the specific trends they’re wearing the most right now for their busy lives in their respective cities—you know, to potentially spark some inspiration (regardless of where we all live).

Shackets have great versatility. They're super easy to layer and lend plenty of styling options. So easy to grab and go!

Have a wonderful time this season, girlfriends are the best, and hopefully, you’re sharing laughter and fun times thru the season with yours. Take care, stay well and hold on tight to the ones you love!

Thank you to the Williamson family, we’re grateful for you!

Xx, Janet
