The Fanny Pack is Back

I remember going to Disneyland in the 80s when I was about 7 years old.  I bought a brand new outfit from GAP - I had saved up all of my money and bought the most hideous neon plaid shorts and neon green shirt - and I LOVED them.  But most of all I loved my fanny pack.  And although practical, especially when you are on vacation - (because who wants to lug a purse around the city) - I haven't been able to get myself to ever wear one since.  Until . . . .

I found Kinies - based out of Malaysia.

How adorable are these!

And they are called Waist Purses - not fanny packs :)

She also had an adorable bow purse I would love to have!

Giving Back

I have always loved giving back.  Saying thank you for what I have been blessed with by giving to others.
At Janey Mac we have done some small things here and there - donated to schools auctions, etc.
But our latest project is my favorite so far, and I hope that we are able to continue to grow and expand our charitable efforts.  I have big plans for the future of how Janey Mac will give back to the community, but we'll wait till that's a little more organized.

Today we are headed to
Women's and Childrens Alliance in Boise.

We are recreating this tree in a 7 foot tall size for their conference room wall, along with some Children's quotes, for another wall.
I will take pictures and update you with all the fun details of installation.

H&M Fashion Tips!

Find inspiration in frontier fashion – ponchos, blanket wraps and tribal prints.

1. Coral corral 
Round up all the latest trends in one easy look! First, go head-to-toe in this season’s hottest shade – coral. Then add a little western touch with a pair of strappy brown suede heels. Yee-haw!

2. Poncho party   
Festival, BBQ, beach or pavement patio, you can throw a poncho over any outfit this summer and look effortlessly stylish. But it can also be the star attraction – especially when it sports fetching stripes!

3. It’s a wrap!
The blanket wrap is a perfect companion to summer dresses, day or night. We like ones with a fetching Navajo-inspired print to layer over a solid colour or clash against other prints. 

4. Print power
Tribal prints can be fierce and pretty when placed on a draped dress. Don a pair of embellished flat sandals for a more casual, but cool look. Beachy, wavy hair is an added bonus.
