Holiday Gift Guide 2022

November 23, 2022 janet gunn

HO HO HO Here we go… It’s that time again!

It’s that time again, and I always enjoy cozying up with my computer to begin my gift guide. Every year I work with some outstanding brands, some old, some new, and I’m excited to share a few with you. Seems like online shopping continues to be the favorite, so load up your cart and ho ho ho, a shopping we will go!

For the past few years, I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with Frank Family Wines and their generous charities. It’s a win-win because when you give back, you also are treated to their award-winning wines.

Have you checked out the beautiful and talented Giada De Laurentiis lately? Her site Giadzy is loaded with Italian must-haves. You can order gift sets that are ready to go, and I think these are a terrific gift idea. Who doesn’t need a little pasta??!!

Time to snuggle up!

ANINE BINGS SCHOOLBOY BLAZER

March 27, 2018 janet gunn

Getting "schooled" by Anine Bing

I am a fan of any blazer Anine Bing designs. She focuses on statement pieces and luxurious basics without chasing trends or fads. Blazers never lose their appeal and give you that polished look along with a little glam.

This Petit Alice Bag comes in two sizes and colors. You can shop the post here.

I've added this Vintage Chanel Flower Pin from Rocks & Silk. Call boutique for availability.

Is anyone else excited as I am that highrise jeans are back? Do you have a favorite pair of highrise? Every woman needs a crisp blazer in her closet, and a grey pinstripe is classic. This fitted and cropped blazer can also be worn alone with a silk cami and paired with your favorite denim, for extra versatility.

Go be Fabuous!

xoxo Janet

LONGCHAMP - THE PERFECT TRAVEL TOTE

August 22, 2017 janet gunn

Let's get carried away with Longchamp. This French luxury house was founded in 1948 and to this day is still considered a favorite amongst chic travelers. Over thirty million of these Le Pliage universal nylon tote bags have been sold since the product’s launch in 1994. You can spot these effortless-chic bags on men and women, younger and older, and with prices ranging from $95 to $145. Longchamp says, ten Le Pliage bags are sold every minute across the globe and there are always new colors and styles to choose from.

Feel confident when you travel with Longchamp

One of my favorite pastimes when traveling is checking out carry-on luggage on busy worldly travelers. There's always an abundance of travelers proudly toting around a Longchamp Pliage.

Longchamp has turned this basic nylon tote into a full-blown luxury icon. So much so, you'll find these on the chicest of chic French female travelers.

Pick your color, pick your size and I usually pack them all.

I'm here in New York with Lyn Slater, The Accidental Icon. Lyn's website was the first blog I subscribed to when I was googling stylish women forty-five and over. If you don't know who she is I highly recommend you check her out. Lyn is just that... a style icon and sooo much more. Here we are strolling the streets of New York and of course, she arrives with her Longchamp. By the way, after our meeting...off I went to the Longchamp store and purchased her exact bag. Once again I was inspired by Lyn..

I bought my first Longchamp tote in Capri. I personally like adding to my Longchamp collection while traveling.

I use this smaller bag a lot, running to work out, on the plane if you need to freshen up, toss in your beach bag. After you check into your hotel room and you're not in the mood to carry your larger bag, you can turn it into a casual clutch. You can also add a fun touch by wrapping the handle with a twilly scarf. Since it's made of nylon clean-up is simple. Just use a handy-wipe and you're good to go.
