Today we are featuring In Bloom by Jonquil, a romantic lingerie line known for its lavish laces and intricate details.

Inspired by her silent movie actress great aunt, and her fashion illustrator grandmother, Diane Samandi began sewing patchwork bikinis in the front window of her San Francisco Victorian in the late 1970’s.  Diane had always loved old Hollywood glamour and vintage design, and with those elements in mind, bikinis soon became dresses, and dresses became exquisite lingerie…

In 1980, Diane founded Jonquil, a romantic lingerie line well known for its lavish laces and intricate detail.  A favorite with brides, Jonquil has enjoyed thirty years of success, and is one of the most sought after lines in the lingerie world.  Jonquil is sold at Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, the finest specialty boutiques worldwide.

In 2007, Diane partnered with MGT, a company specializing in the production of molded cup babydolls.  Together, Diane and the design team at MGT worked to create In Bloom by Jonquil.  Giving the feminine, graceful elements of Jonquil a fresh, flirty flair, they began by incorporating molded cups into Diane’s elegant, European designs.  They met with instant success.  Since then, this charming line of playwear has evolved to include loungewear and daywear.  In Bloom is designed to make a woman feel irresistible and girly, exposing her inner ingénue, and urging her to come on out and play!  In Bloom is sold at Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdales, specialty boutiques worldwide.

Today we are featuring Juara skincare.

Recognizing that present skincare offerings did not have solutions that were rooted in history and simple to use, four young friends sought to bring back the traditions of the past by creating products that fuse the active botanicals of Indonesian herbal recipes with Western science to create products that represent the best of both, the east and west.

Metta Murdaya, Yoshiko Roth, Jill Sung and Tami Chuang, four creative, culturally- diverse young women with a follow-your-dream mentality shared a vision to build a brand that combined their Western upbringing with their Asian ancestry and turned it into a passion for results-driven skincare. Together, they founded JUARA, an east-meets-west Indonesian line of treatments, reminiscent of the ancient spa experience, relevant to the savvy, conscientious person of today.

Utilizing active botanicals such as rice, tamarind, turmeric, candlenut oil, healing teas and red sandalwood, JUARA combines time-honored recipes for skin health and well-being with the best in modern technology and innovation to deliver efficacious and elegant treatments of the highest quality.

Please register to attend our Inspired Bride event where you will receive a complimentary Candlenut Hand & Body Balm from our gifting suite!

Today we are featuring Rosebud Perfume Company, Inc.

Rosebud Perfume Company, Inc. has been around since 1895 … and with good reason.  Their flagship product, Smith’s Rosebud Salve, was formulated by Dr. G. F. Smith over a century ago and is world renowned for its amazing ability to heal and soothe. Smith’s products are known to keep lips from chapping, tame mangled cuticles and even moisturize elbows and knees.  That is an amazing feat!  The delicate hint of rose inside the retro tins is mingled with various tantalizing flavors that are never overpowering or cloying.  As an added bonus, the still “family owned company” has extended its offerings to include Strawberry, Brambleberry, Minted and Mocha Rose.

Try the new Rosebud Salve, Strawberry Lip Balm and Mocha Rose TUBES (ah, so convenient!) and the Lavish Layers of Lip Balms, Luscious Layers of Lip Balms and Medley of Lip Balm TUBES now available in select locations.  One should stock up on the entire line.

Be sure to register for the Inspired Bride event where you will receive a complimentary tube of the Mocha Rose lip balm!
