Our Favorite Zara Picks For Spring

April 8, 2023 janet gunn

Denim Tie Top

Zara is a go-to for many for on-trend selections. Over the last few years, I feel Zara has really stepped it up for looks that deliver an affordable editorial vibe. Regarding trends, Zara satisfies my need to keep my budget and trendy fashion in check. I’m a huge fan of mixing high and low and wearing things on repeat. In this feature, Melissa Meyers and I had fun styling a few pieces to elevate our everyday wardrobe.

In Love with this pale blue bag, so nice for spring and summer.

Trenchcoat

Got a lot of use this year with my trench coat!

My new discovery that works!! THE FOOT CLOUD These self-adhesive gel cushions are working; I am back in my pointy-toe heels and boots. Similar pair

Loving this new clutch!

Denim was a big hit on the runway this season and I’m always a fan of denim on denim, and this Denim Tie Top is a great addition to my wardrobe. Trench coats this season have been on repeat here in Los Angeles. It so easy to elevate your everyday casual wardrobe from day to night. It’s simple, elegant, and practical. Zara’s jeans are always hanging in my closet; they fit great and are always up on the trendy must-haves. Living in Los Angeles, jeans are my go-to so I paired them with the Denim Tie Top and my Amina Muaddi heels for a luxe look. Similar Denim Jeans

This silky satin shirt is so soft and luxe in a deep purple that looks elegant. I paired it with this A-line skirt, which always has a magically flattering and stylish effect

Love this new stocking site I found!

Lately, it’s been gloomy and grey here in L.A. so a lighter shade helps with the glare and these from YSL keep it stylish and bright in this sunny frame.

Cropped Rainjacket A rain jacket is necessary in almost every climate, so why not add a cropped style to your rainy-day wear. This one is not your standard color for rainwear, and the hood adds a little extra paired with a pretty silk scarf. Paired with these super comfortable white denim Paperbag Jeans with an elastic waist.

We Live in L.A. and Wear Jeans Most Days - On Who What Wear

February 2, 2022 janet gunn

Happy February friends! How’s your month looking so far? My dear friend Melissa Meyers and I are living in our blue jeans (LA uniform) and these brands make it so simple to keep it classic and on-trend. Melissa and I are sharing a few of our favorite denim brands and cuts and how we style them with our upscale bags, shoes, and accessories. Thank you, Who What Wear, Melissa and I always enjoy sourcing products and our personal picks with you.

Frame Jeans are my #1 brand, they are true to size and fit really well, especially if you’re petite. These barrel jeans from Frame are super flattering because they elongate the legs. There’s also extra room in the hips and thighs because they’re so high-waisted. A way to balance out the 'oversize' look is to choose a tighter top with a belt to accentuate your waist and add a flowy scarf. Personally, I enjoy having options when it comes to coats. My first source for coats and jackets is Mango, they are affordable and always offer the latest trends when it comes to outerwear.

Beautiful bags from Strathberry

Because I literally live in denim, my favorite way to get creative in my closet is styling my chic & trendy tops, upscale shoes, and accessories with jeans that are affordable and comfortable. Personally, I find the high-waisted cuts look the best when it comes to a more “high-fashion” feel. Here in LA, my #1 boutique to splurge is Peri A. Everything I’ve purchased there, I’ll probably have and wear for a long time. She carries brands that are big in Europe, Asia, designers that are new on the scene, and super fashion-forward… and never a shortage of bags, jewelry, scarves, accessories - It’s full of fabulousness!

Elaine Kim will always have a space in my closet! Her clothing is so easy to wear, you can throw it on, walk out the door, and guaranteed you’ll look great every time

I’ve been wearing Angela Scott Oxfords for years now and every time I do someone asks me “who makes those?” Street chic is my everyday style. What I appreciate about this ongoing trend is that it’s ageless and seems to be an inspiration year after year.

These wide-leg cropped jeans from Frame are crisp and accentuate the waist.

Yes…I’m obsessed. It took about 3 months to hunt down my size. I am regularly a 7 I went up a whole size in these beauties

Boots

Denim on denim and why not! I know it’s known as the Canadian tuxedo, in my case, it’s the “Texas Tuxedo” My tights are from Ganni, another European brand that people always ask me “who makes that?

Thanks for reading and I hope you have a great week ahead. Keep It Fun!
