Mother's Day Gift Guide, Day 5: West Coast Sporty
Farrah Fawcett became a household name thanks to her tomboyish turn on the '70s television mega-hit "Charlie’s Angels," not to mention the swimsuit poster that brought her healthy California glow, highlighted hair and big flashy smile into the bedroom walls of many a young man. Farrah Fawcett exuded a sporty west coast style that was part surfer girl and part country club golf pro. On the show and in her personal life, she was indeed active, often photographed in tennis whites, baseball jerseys, bathing suits and even while skateboarding, sporting Nike swoosh running shoes and a varsity bomber jacket. These preppy but relaxed fashion trends and stylish accessories will suit mom, too.
