Valentine's Day Gift Ideas: Men's Fragrance Sale at RowNine


Valentine's Day Gift Ideas: Men's Fragrance Sale at RowNine

Online sample sale site RowNine.com tends to carry reeeally pricey luxury items (think $15,000 watches), but today's sale is actually quite reasonable for a change! Just in time for Valentine's Day, RowNine is selling a nice assortment of men's fragrances, including popular scents from Burberry, Hugo Boss, Bulgari, Ralph Lauren, Versace and more. The one I picked up for my guy called simply Men by CLEAN is on sale for just $39. I did some comparison shopping online, and the exact same bottle of Clean is selling for $79 at Sephora.com. Score. If your man cares about the way he smells (or you do!), this might be the right time to shop RowNine. Standard shipping is $7.

Tucker Sale Going on Now at Gilt, Plus Tucker Coming to Target





A selection of Tucker's splashy silk dresses and blouses currently on sale at Gilt.com, originally priced from $276 to $345, now $108 to $138.


Recently Fashionista reported that Target has signed with Tucker by Gaby Basora for a collaboration we can expect to shop mid-summer. If you're curious to see what this New York-based designer's actual high-end collection looks like, head on over now to Gilt.com, where you will find her signature silk blouses and dresses marked down up to 60%.

Translating these silhouettes for mass production won't be difficult (it's not like Target doesn't already carry tons of billowy, patterned tops), but of course I'm concerned about the fabric quality. Target has done silk before (my Anna Sui for Target tunic is 100% silk) but it's very lightweight, sheer and somewhat scratchy. Nonetheless I'm happy to learn about an under-the-radar designer and I expect the prints will be tasteful. We shall see!
