COVER STORY | Jeanna Gattuso of Geneva's Flair on Third

Jeanna Gattuso Has a Big Heart with a Deep Love for Boutiquing

GENEVA–Although Jeanna’s personal style is a unique blend of contemporary and boho aesthetics, incorporating modern and trendy pieces, while also embracing a laid-back and free-spirited twist, she says fashion is not just about what we wear, but how it makes us feel.

“It can transform our moods and boost our confidence,” she adds. “Fashion is a form of self-expression and allows us to showcase our unique personalities and style.”

As the 15-year business owner of Flair on 3rd, a women and children boutique featuring a contemporary mix of clothing, jewelry and accessories with up-to-date trends and personal stylists, she says to look for feminine shades of lavender and hot pink this Spring. 

“Some of the upcoming trends also include elevated basics with a touch of sophistication, lightweight knits, fresh and vibrant florals, and bold pops of color through eye-catching prints,” Jeanna says. “Gold jewelry is the must-have accessory for women this season. Whether it's layers of delicate necklaces, dangling drop earrings, stacked bracelets, or bold statement rings, gold is the perfect way to add a touch of elegance and glamor to any outfit.”

Giving back to the community is a core value that she prioritizes.  One of their main initiatives is hosting private shopping events, "Shop for a Cause",  where they donate a portion of the proceeds to a charity chosen by the party host, such as Rising Lights, Kayla’s Hope, Kendall’s Kindness, Tiny N Tall Rescue, Cals Angels, Mutual Ground, Tri City Family Services, Lurie Children’s Hospital, Lazarus House, Fox Valley Special Rec, Casa Kane County, Gigis Playhouse, and Sunshine Kids.
