February 16, 2006 : Feeling Bubbly
|
For those who don't know, BussBuss is getting married this very weekend (and even more surprising is the whole thing was planned in a matter of weeks!). So in honor of the celebration and festivities to come, we present to you these colorful champagne flutes. Made in Germany, just like BussBuss' fiancé, we're digging the untradish hues and can't wait to sip mimosas out of them on lazy Sunday mornings in bed. Mmmmmm. Sip your bubbly in style at Uncommon Goods, and we'll see you after the honeymoon!
Auf Wiedersehen!

February 15, 2006 : Lemon Drop
|
Even though we just had one of the biggest blizzards in our fair city's history, we're decidedly craving spring here at BussBuss central. And we're totally digging this sweet, frilly and totally bise bise blouse in yellow. The coral and ivory are gorgeous, too. Pick up a dose of ruffled wonderfulness for $48 at Anthropologie.

February 14, 2006 : Fabulously Waisted
|
Show yourself some love this Valentine's Day with a shot of style (sorry Cupid, your shots have gotten way too many of us in trouble). What we're loving? Bellero reversible belts – with a fab vintage feel, they look great over long tops and through belt loops and since they're reversible, it's really like getting two belts in one (great for the space-conscious). The ring belts are divine, too. Plus, BussBuss Haute Shoppers get an extra special treat: 25% off with code valentinepromo. So go on, get fabulously waisted this Valentine's Day at Bellero here.

Sometimes roses just aren't going to cut it. When you want to send the very hippest, and something that will last forever, consider this modern bouquet of 18 silver-plated futuristic flowers. An excellent out-of-the-box Valentine's Day gift, not to mention a fab hostess gift, pick up a bunch in 'fresh from the florist' packaging for $45 at
Uncommon Goods.

February 10, 2006 : Finding mimo
|
If your valentine just happens to be tech, art, design and style savvy, then mimobots are the perfect gift, and may we say congrats on finding such a well-rounded and hip mate. Extra fabulous for those who are hard to please or have seen it all, mimobots are the result of art and technology procreating – now that's haute! The 2" USB flash drives let you carry your data and files on the go (think tunes, pics, videos, presentations, etc.) and we think one of the coolest Valentine's Day gifts would be to give your honey a limited-edition 'love' mimobot (only 333 were made), filled with his/her fave songs or pictures. It's geeky sweet and you can add to the family (with new characters) down the road. Choose from 256MB, 512MB, 1G or 2G starting at $59.95 at mimoco.com. Check out the super limited-edition matching plush toys and other characters too – swoon!

February 07, 2006 : Don't Be Hatin'
|
We realize that Valentine's Day isn't for everyone and that it can be cheesier than a pot of fondue. But, we happen to love red, pink, white, hearts, chocolates and cheesiness. For those who don't, this cheeky tee is right up your alley. Let the world know you hate hearts by wearing it on your chest. Or, be like the Fred Flare guys who loved hearts so much that they started joking that they hated them, and ended up creating this funny tee. Whatever your feelings, we're quite sure you'll dig the I Hate Hearts tee, available for $22 at Fred Flare's site right here.
Still looking for great Valentine's day gifts? Check these out! Or, get some tips for out-of-the-box ideas here!
