the JL DESIGNS valentines day collection 2010!!! FEMALE edition

alright gentlemen...

here is your chance to redeem yourself from the standard dozen long stemmed roses you sent your special lady for valentines day last year...it's time to earn some major brownie points for giving her something that is super unique and that she will actually LOVE! because seriously, grocery stores and conroy's flowers are NOT cutting it this year!!!

so without further ado, allow me to introduce the JL DESIGNS valentines day collection 2010 - the FEMALE edition!!!

ladies, feel free to share this link with your men ;)

and lastly, i must give one more shout out to alicia of the modern type for rallying last minute and taking all of these gorgeous photos for me!!! she is amazing!!

THE BOMBSHELL - $95.00
favorite designers: versace + dolce and gabbana
diva idolatry: mariah carey
favorite makeout music: anything by sade
ideal dessert: red wine + chocolate

this woman is all about the va-va-voom! she loves being wined, dined and then ending with a sweet nightcap ;) what better arrangement to give than a dozen velvety red roses that have been styled in sexy black lace, satin and a glamourous rhinestone applique?

roses available in red, white, pink, yellow, orange...lace available in black, white, gray





THE SOCIALITE - $100.00
shops at: fred segal, barneys co-op, intermix
favorite tv show: gossip girl
drink of choice: vodka water with lemon
won't be caught dead without: her blackberry

so maybe she's a little high maintenance...so what!?!? that's why you love her ;) she has an insane eye for fashion and all things "of-the-moment"...so indulge the blair waldorf in her and get her this chic arrangement of white hydrangea, white roses and black + white anemones...all designed in a metallic silver container that has been wrapped in black satin, a beaded applique and finished in a black + white cameo...





THE CALIFORNIA GIRL - $95.00
can always find something she likes at: j. crew + club monaco
lives for: the latest issue of martha stewart
relaxes with: a glass of sauvignon blanc + an alexi murdoch cd
favorite dessert: organic apple pie

light, pretty, fresh, calm, natural...this is how she dresses, how she eats, how she acts, how she lives...an elegant cream ceramic urn holds white hydrangea, white ranunculas, white tulips and green gardenia foliage...a couple winter oranges add that "cali" flair...





THE ROMANTIC - $115.00
favorite place to shop: anthropologie + flea markets
musical picks: cat power, feist, gemma hayes
hobby: baking french macarons
drink of choice: hot tea

this one is for the girl who adores all things soft, artsy and vintage...she's super feminine and has a weakness for ruffles, lace, doilies and anything "grandma-chic"...so of course she'll fall head over heels for these blush toned peonies, pink ranunculas, silver brunia berries and fuzzy gray dusty miller foliage. arranged in a white ceramic vase that has been wrapped in a thick cuff of antique inspired ivory lace, this one is perfect for the girl who says things like "swoon" and "i heart" ;)







THE MINIMALIST - $50.00
favorite designers: calvin klein + michael kors
hobby: pilates + yoga
must-have item: nars lip gloss
drink of choice: champagne

this lady is a modern sophisticate with impeccable taste - she doesn't over-clutter her home or over-accessorize her outfits...so keep it clean and simple with this arrangement of 20 stems of tulips, set in an ultra classic rectangular glass vase...

tulips available in fuschia, red, white, purple, pink, yellow, orange, green
