Who What Wear Feature - How This 50+ Influencer Styles 5 Different Sweatshirts and 5 Different Looks

Well, here we all are, home again, and honestly, I don’t feel the need to “dress up” but I do love my creative time in my closet coming up with fun fashion ideas, after all, it is creative and fun. Thank you to Who What Wear… who bring us updated trends and options no matter what age, it’s a great go-to for wardrobe ideas and a reminder of what you already have. Here in L.A., we are in lockdown so I’m sharing 5 ways to wear a classic hooded sweatshirt

#1 - pair it with an oversized boyfriend blazer in a monochromatic palette. This look marries a laid-back, L.A. cool vibe with an upscale NYC street-style.

Cozy In Cream!

Who says a hoodie is just for lounging? Throw on a pair of skinny jeans and add a couple eye-popping accessories, like an accent scarf and a colorful belt, and suddenly you’ve got a fashion-forward look that can go anywhere.

Elevated Lounging

I love elevating a graphic hoodie by pairing it with a faux leather skirt and a heeled bootie. This sweatshirt is by KATLA, a sustainable brand with core values of respect for people, animals, and the environment. An ethos after my own heart!

A Classic Cozy

A matching sweatsuit is not only comfortable, it makes getting dressed super easy. This stylish set in all black takes on an effortlessly chic look when worn with a matching boot and bag in the same color. Want to dress it down? Throw on a cozy pair of Roam Wear sandals or your favorite fashion sneaker.

An Edge Of Comfort

I have found some of the best sweatshirt ideas at Zara. Styled here with a flowy pair of silk pants from Hark & Hammer and heels elevate this affordable classic, making this look anything but basic.

COQUETTE - BY ALYSE PARFUM - NEW YEAR NEW YOU

New year, new parfum?! Oui, Oui!  The start of every new year inevitably brings with it freshness and change. One change we can certainly look forward to? 2018 will undoubtedly be a year to celebrate women. I'll proudly saluté to that! 

Enter Alyse Parfum. This luxurious, layered line is a studied blend of traditional French perfumery techniques with a light, modern sensibility that donates a portion of all sales to women in need. Founder Kendra Alyse specifically designed her scents to be "a study in womanhood... Alyse Parfum explores many aspects of the feminine spirit--charm, and mystery--to modern strength."

Recognizing the desires of her clients to seek out perfumes that are both unique and versatile, Kendra Alyse says her signature smell, Coquette, has you covered. "Our perfumes warm with the heat of the body and blend with your personal scent to create a custom fragrance that evolves with you." This line really does stay with you--people stop me and tell me I smell lovely every time I wear it!

A portion of each sale goes directly to assisting those in need. It's all part of Alyse's goal to uplift and empower women of all backgrounds. She says, "Wearing a fragrance is a small way to honor ourselves and all our many emotions and desires. As a mother of a young daughter, I have a strong passion to affect change and realize the importance of uplifting women... in their pursuit of happiness and wholeness." 

If you're ready to start the new year off with a fresh take on celebrating yourself and others, Alyse Parfum is the perfect way to begin. Smell wonderful and feel confident while helping those in need. A study in what it means to be feminine in 2018? I'll toast to that!  Generosity..in the palm of your hand.

Celebrating You in 2018!  

xoxo Janet

Summertime is great for rejuvenating your soul. Time to connect with your family, your friends, drop the everyday schedule and be a tiny bit footloose and fancy-free. Time is so precious and your most valued memories of those Summer months will be from the times you spent being carefree with the ones you love.  Enjoy the rest of Summer!

Summertime is always the best of what might be.     Charles Bowden
