2020 HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE

November 13, 2020 janet gunn
Holiday Gift Guide 2020 janet gunn

I think as 2020 wraps up, we all need a holiday and to spread a little joy and kindness. One of my favorite things to do when this time of year rolls around is sit down with a nice cappuccino and put together my holiday gift guide. This year, there’ll be a lot less travel and a little more vino and carbs flowing! I will miss hustling about town the day before Christmas, but thank goodness for online gift guides and Amazon elves. So grab your list, check it twice—and let’s get shopping and giving!

We're in Our 50s, Have Tried a Ton of Basics, and Now Rely on These 8 Easy Items

Basics We Love With Melissa Meyers

Basics We Love With Melissa Meyers

“We're in Our 50s, Have Tried a Ton of Basics, and Now Rely on These 8 Easy Items.” See the full article here

They previously shared with us the basics they wear to look chic, and we wanted to dive even deeper into this topic to get a sense of the winter basics that are no-fail in their eyes. In reality, they've tested out a ton of basics over the years, so they know what truly works best for them specifically. With all that in mind, keep scrolling to check out the easy items they're wearing more than anything else right now, complete with styling inspiration. If you're interested in adding a piece or two into your offering too, there's also a smattering of shopping picks sprinkled throughout for you to shop. P.S. We look forward to strolling together again soon!

WHITE BOOTS JANET GUNN

Classic Jeans -

"A great-fitting pair of jeans is a forever classic for any closet. We love the versatility of this timeless, tried and true basic, and prefer high-waisted styles in a variety of washes." I wear my white boots all season.

white sneakers

Flats

These sneakers were worth the investment. After two seasons they are still my “go-to” for a fashion sneaker and comfort. If you are into vintage luxury Milk Boutique has a nice collection of handbags. Located in Brentwood.

Cashmere Sweater

"Nothing says luxury quite like the feel of cashmere. We live in our sweaters throughout the winter, whether they're oversize or fitted. A classic sweater made from this timeless and cozy material always shouts chic."

Wrap.JPG

Wraps

"An oversize wrap is super versatile and the perfect grab-and-go basic. It can be worn in so many different ways. We like to wear ours as a shawl or as a scarf with a jacket or blazer." Melissa and I are huge fans of wraps for that classic and chic style.

Leather is that elevated anchor piece that always adds an edge and sophistication to any outfit. Faux or real, make sure you have a skirt, jacket, or pants in this fabric as part of your wardrobe this season." On Meyers: Zara skirt and jacket; Office of Angela Scott shoes; Heidi Wynne Wrap

"Our wardrobes have definitely expanded to include more comfy clothing than ever. A cute sweatshirt worn with jeans or a matching sweatsuit are our go-to pieces these days. This is the perfect cozy-chic look when working from home or running errands."

Livotte - Elevate Your T Shirt Collection

October 22, 2020 janet gunn
Boots from Milk Boutique in Brentwood

Boots from Milk Boutique in Brentwood

The T-shirt...elevated! LIVE in Livotte - Once you wear one you will find yourself living in it! I’ve been a fan for a few years now, and I just love how they keep it simple and keep it classic in luxurious organic cotton jersey. T-Shirts never go out of style and reaching for something comforting these days seems to be the norm. So If you want to slip into soft and cozy and still look fab, then meet “Kaja” in navy.

USE CODE: GRATEFUL FOR 15% OFF

USE CODE: GRATEFUL FOR 15% OFF

Just a little “poof” of personality to motivate your day. If you love a bit of a twist and elegance in a T-Shirt I think you’ll appreciate their styles. Founders and friends Beth and Delphine are fashion veterans who are committed to bringing organic, locally sourced luxe cotton jersey tops to women across the globe. Their aim is to make dressing well effortless and sustainable.

I thought this scarf was such a pretty print and definitely the right price, $50. The boots I’m wearing are from Milk Boutique - or the ones featured above are very similar. Check out their Instagram for fashion ideas for your elevated T!

Live in it. Love in it. Lunch it. And by all means, Laugh in it!

Thank you Livotte and thank you for reading,

xx, Janet… Live in the moment!
