LUNCH AT CAMPIELLO; DENIM SHIRTDRESSS OUTFIT
Patio Dining on Third Street South
I have not been to Campiello on Third Street South in ages, and I’ve never vlogged there, so I thought it was time for me to return. I’m so happy I did, because it was lovely. I always welcome the opportunity to dine outside, and here there is plenty of seating to do so.
The restaurant is located in the historic Naples Mercantile Building and Swan Court, and features Italian dishes inspired by traditional Tuscan country cooking. They are best known for their wood-roasted and rotisserie-grilled specialties, paired with fine wines. However, for those who prefer lighter fare, they also offer a good selection of salads. CSG ordered the Campiello House Salad, with sliced cucumber, tomatoes, and eggs. I ordered the Grilled Wagyu Burger, without the bun, sides or condiments; only greens. I combined the two and made a salad (with my home-made organic dressing of 2 tablespoons organic extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon organic apple cider vinegar, and pink Himalayan salt to taste).
My Denim Shirtdress Outfit
I was in the mood for spring, so I decided to wear a dress, and in this case it was a denim shirt dress I’ve had for several years. It is one of my favorite casual dresses because denim is so trouble free and fit and flare-style dresses are so classic and comfortable. They also flatter any figure or age, because they create an hourglass shape. I found quite a few denim dress options on line and I show them, as well as photographs and shopping links, at the bottom of this post (along with my YouTube video).
As for my handbag, it was my mother’s–she bought it to replace her Louis Vuitton Speedy 30. I tell more about that in my YouTube video. If you would like to see the items I carried inside, simply scroll down the page. You will also find photographs of my outfit there.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog!

Scenes From The Video
3rd Street South, Naples, Florida
(ABOVE) On my way to Campiello for lunch, I passed by Jane’s Cafe. I will be featuring it, too, in an upcoming blog post and video. The last time I took you there was in this post from 2017.
(ABOVE) On the patio at Campiello, 3rd Street South, Naples, Florida. (I was there quite early so that I could film the restaurant before any other patrons arrived.)
(ABOVE) The Lunch Menu at Campiello.
(ABOVE) CSG ordered the Campiello House Salad, with sliced cucumber, tomatoes, and eggs. As you can see in my photograph, the salad arrived with the lettuce on top of the other ingredients which, I’m guessing, is not typical.
(ABOVE & BELOW) I ordered the Grilled Wagyu Burger (medium well), without the bun, sides or condiments; only greens. Our server brought me an additional plate of greens and I combined them with the greens and burger you see above, and made a salad (with my home-made organic dressing of 2 tablespoons organic extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon organic apple cider vinegar, and pink Himalayan salt to taste). I carry my dressing in these leak-proof, four-ounce glass salad dressing bottles.
(ABOVE & BELOW) The patio at Campiello is a popular spot for both lunch and dinner, so it’s best to make reservations in advance if you prefer to dine outside. Photograph via Third Street South.
What I Wore
(ABOVE & BELOW) Cartier Small 18K Gold Tank Watch with Alligator Strap, a gift from my husband several years ago (purchased at our local Cartier watch certified dealer, Tourneau). The 14K Gold Bead Bracelet was a gift from my husband about 15 years ago. See similar bracelet.
What I Carried In My Handbag
(ABOVE) Louis Vuitton Trouville, purchased by my mother at Louis Vuitton in 2006. She carried it for only a few years and then stopped, because she found it too heavy. Originally designed as a toiletry bag, it also doubles as a handbag–which is how my mother used it, and now how I use it. It measures: 11″ wide, 9.5″ tall, 4.5″ deep. (It is no longer on the Louis Vuitton site, but you can find it preloved at Fashionphile, a partner of Neiman Marcus.) Also shown: Louis Vuitton Kirigami Pouch Bag Charm and Key Holder (available preloved at Fashionphile). The Gold, Diamond, and Blue Sapphire Ring is an heirloom from my mother, the 14K Gold Bead Bracelet was a gift from my husband about 15 years ago. See similar ring and bracelet.
(ABOVE & BELOW) One of my favorite small wallets is this Louis Vuitton Zippy Coin Purse. I ordered it from Louis Vuitton several years ago and recommend it highly. It has ample room for cards, cash, and coins and zips up into a compact, slim pouch–perfect for smaller handbags. It also is available preloved at Fashionphile.
(ABOVE & BELOW) I carried my Four-Ounce Glass Bottle of salad dressing in this Louis Vuitton Toiletry 15 Pouch. Unfortunately, the company has discontinued this particular toiletry pouch, but it is available preloved at Fashionphile, a partner of Neiman Marcus.
(ABOVE & BELOW) I use this Louis Vuitton Key Pouch, and others like it (preloved Fashionphile) for storing either lip products, keys or credit cards, bills, and coins. They come in a variety of materials, colors and prints. Why I use these for keys: to keep my keys from scratching and marking up the interior of my handbags and the exterior of my other delicate small leather goods inside my handbags.
(ABOVE) I love this Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Mini Pochette (preloved Fashionphile). So much so, in fact, that I also have it in the Monogram and Damier Azur coated-canvas patterns. It’s perfect for storing small items, such as tissues, perfume, lip products, hand lotion, compact mirror, and more.
(ABOVE & BELOW) Inside my Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Mini Pochette (preloved Fashionphile), I carried Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum in the Intense Mini Twist Spray (3 x .2 fl. oz.). It’s also available in 3 x .7 fl. oz. Also inside this pouch: my Chanel Compact Mirror, an essential in my handbags. It has a regular mirror on one side and a magnified mirror on the other, and it is very slim.
(ABOVE & BELOW) I take this Portable iPhone Charger with me when I vlog so I am never without extra power, should I need it. I love this! It plugs into the bottom of my phone, and I can use my phone while it charges. I also bought a cute Pink Portable iPhone Charger Zip Case for storing it. Both the charger and the case are available in several different colors. Also shown: Warby Parker Sunglasses, Butterscotch Tortoise.
(ABOVE) I try to never be without this Gold Retractable, Dual-Ended Lip Brush. I keep one in my handbag and another one at my makeup table at home.
(ABOVE & BELOW) I’m wearing this ZuZu Luxe Lip Pencil all over my lips (Innocence). I applied it to to the enter of my lips with this Gold Retractable, Dual-Ended Lip Brush . (First, I lined my lips with the pencil, then I applied color from the pencil onto the brush and painted the rest onto my lips with the brush–much gentler on my lips!) I keep one at my makeup table at home and another in my handbag cosmetic case.

Hi Janis ,
Thank you for a lovely post , all those lovely colourful flowers were a feast to the eyes.
Spring is late arriving in U.K. it’s constantly cold wet and windy .Its great you take us
followers out and about in sunny Florida.
Love the navy kitten heels smart but not ridiculously high. I think that’s why kitten heels
has stood the test of time.
My daughter bought me the Chanel perfume 2 Christmas s ago the fragrance is divine ,and
lasts on clothes for days after wearing. It’s gone ridiculously expensive her in U.K. so I
will have to ‘hint’ for next Christmas.
Take Care Janis,
Pamela from Wales UK .
Hi, Pamela! It is a wonderful perfume, isn’t it? There is always Mother’s Day –much earlier than Christmas…hint, hint, hint 🙂 Thank you for coming back and leaving your sweet comment. Wishing you warm, sunny weather soon!
I adore your Vlog and have purchased several of the items you have showcased .
Please never stop posting.
Oh my gosh, Jacquelynn, thank you. I so appreciate it! Your kind compliment means the world to me! Hugs ~ Janis
Hi Janis!
Great new video.. your skin looks amazing.. the powder foundation really works for you.
Also.. you have inspired me to wear a denim shirt dress that has been sitting in my closet for years for an upcoming vacation.
I loved that you were carrying your mom’s LV bag. I’m sure it makes you smile to think of her when you wear it. I’m sure she is smiling about it too!
Last but not least.. I think your Boucheron ring is fabulous. I am a big fan of wide bands.
I have been looking into one.. checking the pre-loved sites.
Anyways… thanks for the pleasant time.
Happy almost Easter!
Claudia
Claudia, thank you so much for coming back to my blog and leaving a comment again. Yes, the fact that this Louis Vuitton bag was my mothers, makes it much more special. I agree with you regarding the band ring. It’s a very comfortable style and has a lovely presence on the finger. My husband got it for me because I was so sad I couldn’t wear my wedding band or engagement ring anymore, after I was sick, because my hands and fingers were so enlarged. My right hand still is one and a half to 2 sizes larger than it used to be, but I’m so grateful that my wedding finger finally did shrink back to almost the original size. At least I can wear my original wedding set again. So now I wear my band ring on my right hand. That was my hope, too, that eventually, I would be able to wear it on my right hand once my body began to heal. I hope you are doing well. happy, almost Easter to you too!
Oh, and also, I am so happy that you are going to wear your denim dress again! Isn’t it fun when we rediscover things in our closet and they feel fresh and new, since it’s been a while since we’ve worn them? I have had that happen too.
And yes!! So funny about the dress. It was actually in the giveaway bag and I rescued it!
Aww.. that makes your Boucheron band even more beloved that your wonderfully thoughtful husband got it for you since your other rings didn’t fit. So very sweet. Wanted to do anything to cheer up his cherished wife.
It’s funny you mention about fingers growing.. mine went from a 4 to a 5 for some odd reason.. didn’t gain weight.. maybe just aging in general? I have had to get a few rings made larger or have gotten balls taken out of rings that had them in them to size them down.
Life changes and we have to change with it with a smile! We have no choice.
So nice to hear back from you and I will let you know if I find that Boucheron ring.
