Giving the Simple Life

A small luxury can be the most practical gift. It sweeps away the extraneous and makes us happy. For the holidays, give something simply perfect from Jane’s Vanity. 

Our idea of the simple life might involve overalls. But, underneath, we envision the gift of Gilda & Pearl. Before dawn, the giftee slips into the Sophia Jewel Green Camisole Set. Then, all bundled up, marches out to feed the goats. Later, it’s lunch at the suddenly chic country store. Followed by wine tasting at a nearby hillside vineyard. The giftee might tie up her hair and add seductive little earrings from Gisel B. All while feeling the “back to nature” caress of green silk. 

Your mother’s idea of the simple life could be a little wrap in black lace. Because it brings new life to dresses that you already own. Thanks, Mom, for the Thalia Corded Lace Capelet from Karolina Laskowska. (No need to tell Maman that it looks kinda cute with your skivvies too).

To designer Emma Harris, simplicity is a silk chemise. It carries you through the seasons. In fall and winter, it is the essential layer with sweaters, skirts, stockings. In spring, it carries off a flowery dress. In summer? We dare to live in it. A stack of chemises is a gift to ourselves.

And your own simple gift idea? The perfection of a white blouse from Greek designer Stelios Koudounaris. Sheer glossy fabric suits its billowy silhouette, playful seaming, and long pointed collar. It’s the ideal thing for work or play. And also comes in black.

Or, consider the simplicity of a Jane’s Vanity Gift Certificate. You’ll be a well-rested hero/heroine.

Jane’s Vanity is all about a sweet and simple holiday season. As always, we wish you the very best! And gift wrap it.
