Simon Doonan and his partner Jonathan Adler are style geniuses of the highest order.  For this bouquet pairing, they combined their efforts to create a floral arrangement and gift that will brighten any woman’s Valentine’s Day.

The arrangement includes a beautiful bouquet combining roses and orchids, plus an extra bouquet in a Jonathan Adler “Vidalia” bud vase.  This way you can have one for your office and one for your workplace.  In addition to the flowers, you’ll receive a copy of Simon Doonan’s hilarious and informative book “Gay Men Don’t Get Fat.”

The price of this set is $125 for a one-time purchaser and $75 for H. Bloom subscribers.  So if you are looking to do something extra special for your girlfriend/best friend/Mom, you can set up for a monthly delivery of fabulous flowers for as little as $29 per bouquet.  This way you can show her that you appreciate and love her every month.

Note: This is not a sponsored post. I am a member of the H.Bloom 100, but they did not pay me for this post, they asked me for a favor promoting a bouquet that I think is lovely.

I have a love/hate relationship with BCBG.  I own pieces from their lines that I love, but their schizophrenic sizing between pieces and inconsistent quality has kept me away recently.  So when I heard that they were having a 30-percent-off sale, I thought, “Meh.”

That is, until I saw some of the pieces on sale. 

Haylan Striped Dress (BCBG, $258 – 30% = $181)

This is the perfect winter dress.  It’s different without being weird.  It’s modern without being too harsh.  And you can wear it on a date or just as easily wear it to the office.

Carlin Wool Trench Coat ($498 – 30% = $359)

This coat is amazing.  An update of  the classic trench shape, the coat looks just as chic buttoned or unbuttoned.  And since it’s camel, it blends seamlessly with every other color palette (black, grey, brown, navy).  So cool, so effortless.

Frankly, if I were going to take full advantage of this sale, I would skip the cheaply made sweaters and flimsy knits and focus on the handful of pieces that reach a bit higher.  Sales like this are perfect for splurging on one or two items, not filling your closet.

As for other pieces I loved: these wedge boots, leather-accented leggings and tasseled box-clutch also caught my eye.

Tomorrow, my favorite handbag designer, Rebecca Minkoff, is having a massive end of Summer sale.  

Rebecca Minkoff’s bags are a great buy when they’re on sale.  They’re stylish, good quality and if you take care of them, they can last forever.  I own two Mini-MABs (black, ostrich) and a brown Mini MAC clutch, and I’m hoping to add another piece during the sale.

So mark your calendars, set your alarm clocks, empty your change jars and bookmark that link.  Because when this sale goes live, it will be mayhem.
