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.

PALM ROYALE ON APPLE TV - FASHION FROM THE 60'S - TAKE ME BACK!

April 10, 2024 janet gunn

Welcome to my Palm Beach... 60's obsession with the new Apple TV series, Palm Royale. I absolutely love this era, love the clothing and the whole darn thing! I had a fun time entertaining myself last weekend, digging around in my closet, looking for that’s 60’s inspo and most likely the new trend. I'm so thrilled I saved some favorites that have that vibe. I literally save things thinking, maybe if I move to blah, blah, blah, (out of the country) or Palm Beach... I'll wear this! Does anyone else do that??

Here are a few links for shopping, and I added the Charish website; if you love furniture, art, and vintage, I think you’ll appreciate this site if you’re not already familiar. If you visit the Madison Maison website for shoes, don't forget to use my code Janet15. Have a beautiful day wherever you live, and remember, Life is your runway!

Cast of Palm Royale, and gotta love the poodle! Do you know LaVie Style House?

Madison Maison is designing and collaborating with Italian brands that are classic and always a show stopper… or “shoe-stopper” Use my code Janet15

Peri A boutique on Canon Dr. is drool-worthy when it comes to designers and fun accessories. I love a good pom-pom on my slippers; feels fancy and a tad old-school. Here is the link for the pink blazer.

I found this on Charish and now it happily hangs in my office for that “spark joy” moment. Everyone that walks in, says… “Oh, I love that”

Tombolo offers the most authentic, stylish, and fun cabana shirts for men and women. I found this one on sale. Their newsletter is always entertaining, and they have fun hotel collaborations. This leopard ensemble from Katro Studio will whisk you right to the couch for your Palm Royale viewing.

Looks like a caftan summer will be a colorful one with LaVie and Le DoubleJ

Thank you for reading, enjoy shopping in your closet, and get inspired with your favorite era… oh and have a great ride! #lifeisyourrunway #enjoytheride

FRAME - RAG & BONE - FASHION & FRIENDS

March 30, 2024 janet gunn

What a fun week in Dallas with my dear friends for shopping, dining, and celebrating my friends’s new clothing venture. Sharing your fashion and shopping experiences with your best girlfriends is not just about shopping and exchanging style tips; it's fun and nourishes the soul. It's a chance to bond over a mutual love for self-expression through fashion and breaking those fashion rules when you're over 50! Whether browsing racks together or entertaining one another in the dressing room! Beyond the superficial, it's spending those precious moments together. That’s my kind of spending!

It started with a mom’s weekend for my son’s fraternity, Sigma Chi, and it was a blast meeting the moms from all over, being with our sons, and seeing their friendships along with great dinners and laughter! Unfortunately, I don’t have any great photos to share with you, but the memories are there! Luca and I also visited my mom in Ft. Worth and I always love going home.

Cathy and Buster, I love you guys; thank you so much. Maisey and Lotty, I miss you too!

In the above photo, Cathy and I are sharing our Madison Maison Denim Flats. We are having a great time creating content, and our shoe shelf is expanding!! Use Code Janet15 for Madison Maison

This is last year’s blazer, great basic to have for spring, summer.

During the week, we stopped by Rag & Bone and Frame and then went to visit our friend Heather from So Heather Blog. She has a cute new puppy, so cute… and we got the photo below. Heather has a great YouTube channel for fashion styling tips, trends, and dating after divorce. Cathy on YouTube

Our next stop was the Mansion Hotel (my favorite) for my friend Bri Holloway’s Spring 2024 made-to-measure sophisticated tweeds. Here with Bri and my dear friend and co-host Joyce Goss, the always gracious host and philanthropist.

Thank you to my Dallas friends and influencers who were there; I love seeing you when I visit Dallas. I know not everyone could make it, and you were missed! Bri, congratulations!!!
