Urban Stems

It’s almost Valentine’s Day, so in addition to purchasing lingerie from Natori, you need to buy flowers! And what is easier than purchasing flowers online / via iphone app with Urban Stems. The lucky ducks that live in the NYC and DC area have access to this brilliant company. Simple, beautiful, and straightforward. The bouquets cost $35 and are a beautiful arrangement of carefully selected flowers imported straight from farms in South America. A bonus: According to the company, the farms used are environmentally-friendly and operate with labor friendly policies for their employees and their families. 90% of the farmers are women. Curious to see the product before I sent it to a secret admirer (my child’s preschool teacher – she is my true love), I bought a bouquet for myself.

Congrats!/Valentine’s Day

My Valentine’s Day wish list is below, but first I wanted to take a second to congratulate my mother-in-law on receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award at last night’s Femmy Awards, the annual gala thrown by The Underfashion Club.  It was an amazing event at Cipriani 42.  Mom left the crowd speechless, as she broke down crying thanking the industry and more importantly, the amazing team at Natori.  What a night!  Below are some pics…

Can you believe how time flies by? Thanksgiving came and went, Hannukah, Christmas, New Years, and now VALENTINE’S DAY? Wild, right? I feel like we just celebrated Turkey Day and now it is mid February! GULP. So, nothing better than a one-stop-shop for all the Ladies in your life on www.natori.com.

My top Valentine’s Day gifts are hot, sexy, and perfect to give yourself on behalf of your main squeeze? (Does that count as a gift?)

Luscious Bra

Nothing Plain Jane about this bra. Goodbye boring nude bra, hello sexy mama! This bra is a pick me up to make anyone feel sexy, supported, and seamless (who needs a therapist when you have this bra?) The modern floral lace covers the cups without darts and seams, shapes the neckline, and gives the body an updated retro look.

You work out so you can wear this solo, right?

HAWT.
