Sweet & Sexy Treats

January 30, 2008

With Valentine’s Day a mere 2 weeks away, it’s time to tell your beau to check out BGG for great gift ideas! I know that many men and some women feel that it’s the quintessential pointless Hallmark holiday, but what’s wrong with having a day of receiving sweet treats from your significant other?

It’s the perfect excuse to slip into new sexy lingerie and eat deliciously decadent chocolates — what’s not to love? Tell him to start shopping now to beat the mad rush that’s certain to ensue days prior to the romantic day.

Here are a few of my pretty gift picks:

Pink roses from 1-800-FLOWERS www.1800flowers.com for $69

Mesh Halter Babydoll Nightie available at Victoria’s Secret www.victoriassecret.com for $34

Sterling silver diamond accented bracelets available at Macy’s www.macys.com $34 each

Burberry Brit “Sheer” Eau De Toilette Available at Nordstrom www.nordstrom.com $52-$72

Godiva Chocolates $85 www.godiva.com

Kiss Me Exfoliating Lip Treatment available at Macy’s www.macys.com for $15

Tiffany’s sterling silver heart necklace available at www.tiffanys.com for $405

Sweet Treats

December 10, 2007

The Simmons sisters are at it again. This time they’re cooking up tasty fashions to complement their already sweet line of sneakers – Pastry. The extended brand will now include a handbag collection with messenger bags, hobos, bowler bags and duffels as well as junior sportswear.

Ranging in prices from $13-50, the line is sure to be a hit with young girls and women who have a sweet tooth for Pastry.

Next up for the reality-TV stars – lingerie and jewelry. There’s apparently no stopping these entrepreneurial sisters.

The line will be available in stores such as, Against All Odds, Mony, Jimmy Jazz and www.drjays.com starting January 25, 2008.

BGG, you have selected some really nice treats. I happen to be one who doesn’t get excited about V-Day because it’s just so staged, however, I’m always happy to get a sweet treat. BTW, I may not get excited about V-Day but if I don’t get anything…I’m pissed! I know…I have issues! ahhaaha

I too pretend not to care about V-Day but if I don’t receive a gift, I am pissed!

This is a great selection of must have gifts ( I especially love the pink roses). I don’t hate or love Valentine’s Day, as long as there aren’t any overly lovey dovey couples around me, its fine LOL!

I’ve been eyeing those bangles at Macy’s for like 2-3 years now. I guess this is my reminder/sign that I really must get them now.

We really do have similar taste!

Okay, it took me a while to realize what I was looking at but cute. Definitely for the much younger BG. I must say I’m proud of any BG who has a dream or an idea and isn’t afraid to go for it!

Hand claps for the young entrepreneurs, but boo hoo hoo to Pastry. I hate them.

Thanks for the link and I will return the favor.

On to Pastry: I can’t decide whether I hate it or love it. Not really my flavor because of all thos cot damn colors but I love the Simmons girls either way.

I can’t see myself wearing anything Pastry, but I definitely admire they’re drive and entrepreneurial spirit. I may not wear their merchandise, but I’m sure there are many young girls out there who will.
