Embracing Versatility: Fashion Fitness Wear in Rainy Los Angeles

April 19, 2024 janet gunn

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”

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

April 14, 2024 janet gunn

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.

Boot Trends That Work for Every Age With Cathy Williamson

December 5, 2022 janet gunn

Friends and fashion go together, don’t they! I just love sharing our fashion tips along with a few bargains and, of course mixing the high and low. Who What Wear is always an excellent source for women of all ages when it comes to how to wear, what to wear, and where to buy. You can check out the full article here and have a wonderful holiday and happy shopping and good times with your friends!

Age clearly has nothing to do with what you should or shouldn't wear. After all, it's just a number. That said, it's sometimes intriguing to learn about the trends women with more experienced sartorial points of view are into. And that's where Janet Gunn and Cathy Williamson come in. These fashion influencers are over 60 and have spent years fine-tuning their wardrobes. When it comes to footwear specifically, they both agree that there are a few key boot trends that work best for them and actually work for anyone at any age because they're all highly versatile.

"These Jimmy Choo flat boots with crystal detailing are an evolution of the combat boot. Styled with this wide-leg Mango suit adds a little funky personality for day or night comfort. Easy on and off with a back zipper for the best of both worlds; comfort and fashion."—Gunn

Getting back to my roots in these Lucchese tall boots. I grew up wearing Lucchese boots, and when I saw these in red, I couldn't wait to dress them up a bit. I love how fashion has embraced the cowboy boot, and they're so fun to style and a great conversation starter.

"I am a sucker for an animal print of any kind. These cool python-print boots would elevate any outfit. Animal prints have appeared throughout history as a form of self-expression. Another reason they are a classic print! Don't be afraid to add one to your boot mix."—Williamson.
