Good Afternoon readers and Happy Halloween! I just got to New York for the weekend to celebrate the launch of the Jenn bucket bag. In case you missed my first post about the handbag I designed with GiGi New York, you can view it here–> The Debut of The Jenn Bucket Bag. Also, make sure to check out my features interview on their site at giginewyork.com.
I still can’t believe I actually have my own handbag collaboration with such a remarkable fine leather and handbag company! Designing my own bag with Gigi New York was just a mere fantasy of mine until I got to tour the Graphic Image factory in New York this past year with the owner, Tom Glazer. It was during that tour that things quickly started to fall into place. Tom’s passion and enthusiasm for the company inspired me to get creative while we were in the place where all of the magic happens, the design room! We (A Pinch of Lovely, Kaela Rodehorst Photography & myself) got the opportunity to view all of the bright-colored new leathers for spring and summer 2015 as well as potential new handbag styles. My excitement got me a little carried away and I started describing my dream Gigi handbag design. Much to my surprise, Tom immediately went for it and said, “Hey, let’s do it! We can do a handbag collaboration.” I just about died when I heard those words come out of his mouth, but that didn’t even compare to when I first laid eyes on the sample of what was going to be my very own handbag that would soon be available for everyone to buy. Gigi New York’s amazing team made the collaboration process a cinch for me. All I had to do was tell them exactly how I envisioned the bag and they got everything down right to the very last detail. I of course got to test everything out and make any necessary changes before it went into production. I am so grateful to Gigi New York for this incredible experience. It has been the opportunity of a lifetime and something I’ll never forget.

Good Morning readers, whether you’re petite or tall, I know this grey skirt will fit nicely into your fall wardrobe. This simple flippy skirt is one of my favorite pieces in my closet right now because it so comfortable and versatile plus it’s still warm enough to show off your bare legs. As you can see, Krystal and I both styled this skirt two different ways and we’re both completely different heights, which goes to show that the flippy skirt trend works for almost all shapes and sizes. Krystal is 5″9 and pencil thin and I am 5 ft with a little more curve and hip action. Will you be rocking a floppy skirt this fall?
Head on over to A Pinch of Lovely to see Krystal’s outfit details.
P.S. In case you haven’t visited Gigi New York’s site recently, head on over there as well to see my very own handbag that I designed with them!–> The Jenn Bucket Bag!

Good Morning readers, I am so excited to finally announce that I have been working with Gigi New York over the past few months to design my very own handbag! May I now present to you (drumroll please)…the Jenn Bucket Bag! My inspiration to go forward with this style was my own wardrobe’s lack of a good quality leather bucket bag. I have actually been on a hunt for the perfect bucket bag over the past couple of years, but none of the styles I came across ever met my standards. I’m so glad that with the help of GiGi New York, I have finally designed the bucket bag of my dreams that I get to share with all of you!
The Jenn Bucket Bag comes in Navy, Black, Stone (pictured above) and Kelly Green. It will be available exclusively online at giginewyork.com and also at Gigi New York trunk shows hosted by Haute Off The Rack! Scheduled Upcoming Trunk Shows: Candy Apple Boutique in Metairie, LA on November 21, Kiki Boutique in Baton Rouge, LA on November 14th...more to come!
Q. Do you consider this satchel a great everyday handbag? Is this style practical for the everyday woman?
A. Yes, I think the Jenn bucket bag is a great everyday bag because of its chic and functional design. It can be worn on your shoulder as well as a cross body bag and there is a cell phone pocket inside for your convenience as well as a secondary zippered pocket for your keys or keep-safe items. It will of course also fit your wallet, a few beauty essentials and even your mini ipad if you must. Even women in the business world need a secondary bag without the laptop and the papers and files they have to lug around all day. Everyone needs a bag that fits just their main necessities that they can just grab and go!
Q. Does the shape and colors make this a staple handbag?
A. I absolutely believe that a bucket style bag should be a staple in every woman’s closet especially in a classic color like navy or stone. It’s my go-to bag when I just need get out of the house in a hurry. I like to refer to it as my grab-and-go bag because I can just dump all of makeup and jewelry in it and finish in the car when my boyfriend yells from the couch, “are you ready yet?” for the seventh time in 10 minutes.
Q. What do you believe the demographics for this style will be and why?
A. Since the bag can be worn as a cross body bag, I feel like it will appeal to women of all ages. I’ve seen both my teenage sister and my 80-year-old grandmother carrying a bucket bag before. It’s just such an easy bag and it gives you that effortlessly stylish look we all crave. You know… that whole “I woke up like this” look.
My inspiration to go forward with this style was my own wardrobe’s lack of a good quality leather bucket bag. I have actually been on a hunt for the perfect bucket bag over the past couple of years, but none of the styles I came across ever met my standards. I’m so glad that with the help of GiGi New York, I have finally designed the bucket bag of my dreams.
Q. How does the bag function? Ex: Work? Day? Evening?
A. The Jenn bucket bag is more of a daytime bag than anything else. However, I would still take it out at night too for dinner or to grab drinks. It’s great for travel, a day in the city or just running errands around town. Like I mentioned previously, it will fit your phone, your keys, a few beauty essentials and your wallet! This bag keeps you from bringing along all of that excess stuff that you really don’t need while you’re out and about.
Q. What is your favorite feature of this bag?
A. My favorite feature of this bag is the python embossed leather body and the tassel details on the drawstring. I also love that it has a double strap so that it can be worn multiple ways.

Good Morning readers, I know that today isn’t really a coat kind of day in Louisiana, but it isn’t quite spring yet either. We still have a few more scattered cold days coming through before we can officially toss our coats in. Until then I encourage you to keep you eye out for great winter coat sales. Now is the time to start checking to see if your favorite coat has finally gone on sale. If it hasn’t yet, trust me… it won’t be long! I know we each have a coat or winter accessory that we coveted all season long but just couldn’t justify splurging on a piece that will only be worn a few months out of the year. The good news is that there is still a chance you can get it on sale and you might even get a few wears out of it before you have to pack it up for next winter. My only little bit of advice to you is that you don’t go crazy on something too trendy. You’re much better off investing in classic piece that you can wear in years to come. There is no reason to buy something on sale just because it’s on sale.
P.S. Check back tomorrow to see how I transitioned this outfit from a chilly day to a rainy day!
