There’s never a shortage of sandals for summer, and we’ve found some fun and affordable ones for our most recent Who What Wear feature. I’m here with Susan Feldman and Melissa Meyers at the Proper Hotel in Santa Monica sharing our sandal inspiration and a delicious lunch!

Just the right amount of heel for a stylish boost to this square-toe faux-leather sandal. The adjustable straps create a perfect fit for comfort and style. My foot is narrow, so this is a terrific option!"

I’m wearing Allie Slide Sandal / Dress / Bag / Melissa’s wearing Sydney Slide Sandal / Bag / "I am all about wearing thong sandals this summer, especially when they have a squared toe box for an elevated look. Whether they are kitten heels like this new pair from Who What Wear, a platform, or mid-heel, this style has become one of the hottest trends of the season."

Love those neutral tones - these multicolor ones are a perfect example of how to update your Birkenstock game. Bonus: They go with everything. Susan’s Birkenstocks / My dress / Sandals / "This vegan-leather sandal that goes with almost everything. It's is super cush and super affordable with a toe ring that's comfortable, and I love the squared-off toe with a modern makeover."

CASUAL, SOLE-FUL AND EFFORTLESS DRESSING WITH A FEW FAVORITES

November 16, 2019 janet gunn

Melissa Meyers and I are big fans of L.A. designer Ce Ce Chin, founder of Vision Quest Shoes. I look at her Babouche shoes as an “elevated sneaker” with a lot of “sole.” Whether I’m running around L.A or touring a new town, comfort is a must and thanks to the molded rubber outsole on Ce Ce’s shoes you can check that comfort box and thanks to her chic materials and design, you can check that style box. Ce Ce also mindfully placed a message on the inside of each shoe to remind us to be mindful of our everyday steps. And one last thing, they’re always a conversation starter! If you’re not familiar with Parker Thatch, that’s who I’m carrying in the photo, check out their website, it’s one of those “feel good” brands that understand the woman on-the-go with her own personal style.

Don’t mind us, we’re just crushing on a few things we love! When I laid eyes on this suede bag from Parker Thatch, I thought now this bag is fabulous!! I just love the size, and their color choices are super rich looking, and of course having a detachable strap is always a plus! I’m carrying their / DUMPLING BABY EASY- GRAY SUEDE-CANYON POINT BLUE STRAP. You’ll find on the inside a zipper closure along with an inside pocket for your daily essentials. FYI, it won’t be so easy to choose! They have gorgeous colors, patterns, styles and sizes.

Melissa is wearing The Hero Washed Cotton shirt from Grayson, our other favorite go-to brand for cozy cotton, linen and flannel shirts. Founded by Audrey McLoghlin's - you might be familiar with her other line of great button downs, Frank & Eileen. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of their solids or stripes. Audrey knows button downs! Soooo much to choose from in the world of fashion, hopefully I’ve shared a few new brands to make your “getting ready” effortless and a sole-ful so you can create your day!

Melissa is also wearing our FGXGG Florence Scarf as a belt. There’s only a few left if you’re thinking about gift ideas!

Thank you: Vision Quest Shoes / Parker Thatch / Grayson / We love getting ready with you and supporting your vision!

Thank you for reading,

xo, Janet
