Unimaginable savings with three dresses on sale.
It all started out innocently enough with the arrival of an email from the Missouri Botanical Gardens in my inbox. Seems that each year the garden hosts a swinging Valentine’s Day party in the Ridgeway Center, including a gourmet meal, a lively band, tours of the beautiful flower arrangements and a champagne toast for good measure. I half guessed it would be like attending a swanky wedding without having to pay the tab. I started reading the menu and I never moved passed the choice of medallions of beef or salmon. It all sounded so good. I was starving. The sales pitch was crafted so it had me hook, line and sinker. Sure, I would post it right away on my calendar of events, and I circulated it to the other 23 Patch editors in the area to …

Five people at Plaza Frontenac share their thoughts on the perfect Valentine's Day gifts and experiences.
Aside from a couple's anniversary, Valentine's Day is perhaps the most romantic day of the year. Attempting to find the perfect gift for a loved one can be stressful, and while some people like the standard flowers, candy and jewelry, others like gifts such as trips or a romantic dinner prepared at home. Most of the people Ladue-Frontenac Patch spoke with at Plaza Frontenac said they prefer original gifts or even experiences such as a weekend in wine country instead of gifts. However, while getting to spend some quality time with the person you love is great, the consensus was that something along the lines of a little "bling bling" or a dozen roses would be a perfect added bonus to a fantastic Valentine's Day. Check out the video to see …
Find great gift items for your loved ones at stores across the Ladue-Frontenac area.
Valentine's Day (February 14, for those who have trouble remembering) is just around the corner, and Ladue-Frontenac Patch has tracked down the must-have items for the people you love. Here are the 10 must-have items for Valentine's Day 2011: 1. Handbags Handbags make great non-traditional Valentine's Day gifts for the women in your life. Whether you get them in traditional valentine colors such as red or pink, or in the hot spring 2011 colors such as blue, coral or white, Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue at Plaza Frontenac have the ladies covered. At Neiman Marcus, public relations manager Ellen Soule and some associates pulled a few bags: a bright blue Prada shoulder bag ($1,395), a pink Prada tote ($1,495), a white Prada clutch ($1,…
