We're Trading Our Heels for These 4 Flat Shoes This Spring

Kitten Heels Loafers & Sneakers All Day Long

 Melissa Meyers and I recently shared the 2021 trends we’re going to prioritize this year.

California-based influencers Janet Gunn and Melissa Meyers recently shared the 2021 trends they’re going to prioritize this year. In terms of shoes, the silhouette that reigned supreme were flat, chunky styles. Given that comfort is of utmost importance these days with a focus on relaxed fashion, it’s no surprise that a flat shoe made it to the top of the list. On that note, we thought we’d ask Gunn and Meyers for a full edit of the flat shoes they’re gravitating towards this spring.

While we do still wear heels from time to time (mainly lower or chunkier heels), we’re going to start trading in some of those heels for the flat shoes coming your way. With all that in mind, keep scrolling to check out a range of visual and shopping inspiration in case you’re interested in adding a fresh shoe silhouette into your offering as well. It sure was nice to be out and about together again with Who What Wear.

Dior Heel / Zara Loafer

Bells & Beck White Flat

Chanel Slingback

"The holy grail of classic married with style, a great loafer will take you places year-round. For spring, we like ours on the light side (white is always a fresh choice), along with this year’s chain detail to add the perfect fashion-forward touch." — Gunn

One of my go-to’s this season has been my leather blazer from AS by DF

"Almost as versatile as a loafer in our book, you’ll see us wearing our sneakers with everything from joggers to a midi dress." — Meyers

I added these Golden Goose sneakers with my Natori slip/dress / Oversized Blazer

It’s nice to be out and about together and we always enjoy sharing our fashion with you. Cheers to springtime, style and comfort!

Thank you for reading and have a wonderful kick-off to spring, health and happiness!

FITNESS WEAR WITH WHO WHAT WEAR

Melissa Meyers and I shared a few of our favorite fitness brands with Who What Wear to kick off the summer “back in shape” motivation. Did anyone put on a few extra COVID pounds? I definitely enjoyed more pizza and pasta than usual and it sure was delicious and now it’s time to reel it in a bit!

Lilybod

Pilates, yoga, or foam roller? All of the above, please! As we get older it’s important to stay flexible! Since the shutdown I’ve been running 6 days a week so stretching and online yoga was a must. I’m happy to say my pilates place has opened up and has taken great safety measures!

This top is so comfortable that I also purchased it in black. These arm weights can be used as ankle weights too.

Mar Y Sol Tote

These Sunset Joggers are super versatile, I also wear these with my white button-down linen shirt and sandals. If you are up for traveling you’ll want to pack these!

Nike

When out for a walk, run or a fresh-air hike, these bike shorts are fun for a change. Paired with this light-weight top and water-resistant belt bag.

Now that we are finally able to run-around-town a bit more these days, we want activewear outfits that will keep us comfortable and stylish while staying safe. Matching sweat-sets, or joggers worn with a coordinating tee, both offer chic style and comfort.

The beach is finally open again, and it’s the perfect spot to get active by running, walking, or jumping waves. Best thing we can do to jumpstart our health is to take care of ourselves, eat healthy food, get our cardio in, and wear a mask. I think moving forward we will need to be smart and diligent about keeping our immune system at 100% so if you’ve dropped the ball now’s the time to pick it back up!

Stay safe,

Thank you for reading,

WORKOUT WHEEL

Keeping Fit & Keeping Motivated!

I wanted to share a few fitness favorites that keep motivated on my “workout wheel of fortune.” Looks like we may have a little more time spent at home, not really sure but either way now is always a good time to get outside for a walk or a run to keep our bodies moving and the mind motivated. Lately, I’ve finished a few great books from Audible while working out. Untamed Glennon Doyle always overflowing with great insight / Quiet - The power of introverts / The Hidden Life Of Trees Beautiful read on nature and 1 more reason why we need to understand Mother Nature (mother of all mothers…). The Illusion of Money / Lifespan. Highly recommend this book on health and longevity. All of the books have been extremely informative and needed for today’s times. So while you’re at home and wondering how to jumpstart your fitness or motivate the mind hopefully you’ll find something you need to keep you grounded and informed.

Arm Weights - Just the right weight for walking or running. Super easy to put on and take off.

R0AM Sandals - I’m a big fan of R0AM Sandals, not only are the colors and styles fun and chic, they have a very low carbon footprint.  creating a certified recycled fold-able box for shipping our sandals - this takes up less space, can be unfolded for ease of recycling, and also they use certified recycled tissue paper. They have figured out a way to add memory foam to the uppers which is not an easy feat and this allows the shoes to mold and form to your feet - truly creating a hug for your feet. Made in downtown L.A.

Water Bottle - A 16oz reusable glass water bottle in gorgeous colors to help you stay hydrated throughout the day and inspire you to drink more water for overall health benefits.

Sweaty Betty Tights - Lovet the fit, love the feel of her brand. These tights are snug and they just feel great on the bod.

Nike Classic Cortez - The most comfortable Nike shoe I’ve ever worn, yes ever.

Alo - A studio-to-street must-have, the Soho Pullover has a vintage, lived-in look. Cut from our signature Alolux fabric, it features a long body and long sleeves. A stylish scoop neck keeps things streamlined. I also wear this with my jeans, love the way drapes on the body.

Thank you,

Stay healthy, have a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend!
