Many of you know it has been 'love at first wear' ever since I discovered In Bloom by Jonquil, they are best known for their beautiful Bridal lingerie and peignor sets. If you watch the television series Hot in Cleveland, the character Joy Scroggs played by actress Jane Leeves happens to wear In Bloom Pajamas quite often. Her character Joy often wears many of the same in Bloom pieces I own. And my fellow 'truebies' aka fans of HBO television series True Blood will have also seen in Bloom being worn by one of the characters on the show as well!

Television Wardrobe Stylist's have discerning taste, they not only have to get a feel for the character to nail their style, but I'm sure how well the garments actually wear is an important factor on the set as well. I'm more in to Quality than Quantity myself and yes that includes my PJ's, if they are comfortable but don't wear well, what's the point?

For me my in Bloom Pajama sets have been the perfect marriage of form and function, because they have all worn incredibly well, they wash well, I haven't experienced the dreaded pillage on the PJ pants, and they are super comfortable, and many of the loungewear pieces could pass for beach wear and 'outside' wear without anyone even thinking they were PJ's (always a plus in my book).

When I think of PJ's and Loungwear I think of my 'chillax' time and there is nothing better than a good book to go with new PJ's right? Press on the banner below to do just that!

I don't have copies I can offer you yet Butterflies, but In Bloom is more than great PJ's, it's a BOOK too!  (Press on the banner above to purchase it directly at Amazon at a great price!) I'm working with the author to get hard copies of the book available for a giveaway on Ascending Butterfly soon!

Here is a teaser:

My name is Olivia Bloom and I. Am. Free.

I left for LA with everything I owned piled into my old Volkswagen and dreams of becoming a costume designer. Little did I know I’d wind up designing for a lingerie company—yeah, not sure how I landed this gig—and taken under the wing of two young Hollywood insiders. The fashion shows and parties were great, but life really got exciting when the seriously hottest lead singer of my favorite band started to fall for me.
　

How does someone like me, an ordinary girl from Pittsburgh, wind up in the arms of the world’s sexiest rock star—surrounded by celebrities, fashion, and music—and not be eaten alive? Berkeley is everything I've ever dreamed of in a boyfriend, but the paparazzi, the tabloids, the rumors, it's all getting a bit too crazy. My life has become every girl’s dream come true, if only I don’t blink and lose it all…　

I created this cute Polyvore board to showcase the 'Blue Grass Pajama' Set by in Bloom

On a Polyvore roll! This Polyvore board showcases the Blue Grass set from the back (look at the detail on the top with the cute lace racerback!) and I also featured the 'Riviera Tank' in Black which in my opinion you could even wear out over white jeans, such a cute 'right now' tank top!

My Take:

Most often loungewear items are sold individually on in Bloom so I totally appreciated that the Blue Grass Pajama Set is sold as a pair. The Riviera Tank is absolutely gorgeous and it pairs up with all the bottoms perfectly and in my opinion you can totally get away with wearing it out as a top with jeans too. These were all definitely a hit for me!

#Spon: The review items featured were provided to Ascending Butterfly for Editorial Consideration, see below for full disclosure:

One of the things that kept me sane during the nightmare year I had last year in and out the hospital was my favorite loungewear pajamas by In Bloom by Jonquil. All the nurses were obsessed with them, and the doctors would tease that I was too stylish to possibly be a sick patient and that they had the wrong room! I will admit it's more funny now than it was then!

My In Bloom PJ's never let me down, they wash amazingly well and are not showing any signs of fading, pill balls, or wear. Honestly, I would live in them if I could, and they must have had me in mind when they launched their 'Carmel Collection', it's sunny, bright and cheerful and super comfy, but the best part is that you really could wear it all out and no one would know that they are PJ's.

If In Bloom wasn't already on your radar from our glowing reviews, you may have already seen them on some of your favorite TV shows including Hot in Cleveland (which I watch as I think Betty White is fantastic!) and my personal all time favorite show HBO's True Blood (yes I'm a total #Truebie and I'm proud of it!). Intrigued?

I thought so! This is the intimate, loungewear and bridal lingerie designer to watch. I consider them to be the 'Pringles' of PJ's, once you get your first pair, you won't be able to stop. You'll want to add everything they have to your collection, and as you can see by the shows featuring them already, you will be in great company. 

Check out The Carmel Collection:

In Bloom Lounge Carmel Maxi Gown

In Bloom Lounge Carmel Chemise

I was sent the following pieces to try:

In Bloom Lounge Carmel Racerback Top

In Bloom Lounge Carmel Lounge Pant

In Bloom Lounge Carmel Tunic

My Take:

I got to try out the Carmel Racerback Top, Lounge Pant and Tunic and this set is definitely another winner, it's super comfortable and the tunic is an absolute perfect cover up to throw over your swimsuit at the Pool or Beach! The Fashionable Frugalista in me loves when pieces can do double duty! I also love the bright summer colors. For me, the place where I feel most at home and at peace and calm is by the Ocean, so I live in bright aqua's, turquoise, and coral colors for summer. This set makes me super happy
