Lingerie is Taking Over the World of Fashion!

Ahh, we love it! We were so pleased to see that lingerie was the focus and inspiration behind the Christian Dior Couture Fall 2009 runway show. Thanks to WWD, we discovered this gorgeous retro-inspired collection. Designer John Galliano stated that "it all begins with the corset", and from there his models displayed the most intricate, exquisite undies imaginable — hand-made bras, corsets, girdles, garters, tap shorts, stockings (via WWD). Furthermore, Galliano created jackets, skirts, slips, etc. that would deliberately expose the beauty of the undergarments. Once again, we see the 'no pants' look...it won't be long before you and I are pulling this off!

Our New Favorite Outfit

GQ Italy, January Jones

This is such a simple lingerie ensemble, but it works wonders in this shoot! We think it must be the sequin panties! In any event, we think that January Jones is rockin' the lingerie look in this shoot. A sexy black bustier like that should be in every woman's lingerie wardrobe...we need to get ours!

Happy 4th of July!

We wanted to wish you a Happy 4th of July! If you're going to a pool party or BBQ, have fun...or at least find some time to see fireworks! We know we will!

We suggest that you check out this link on the Gals in the Know blog for up-coming giveaways...it's worth checking out, plus she always seems to have something to give!
Thank you Leticia!

Faire Frou Frou is proud to present its newest brand; Tra La La. This fun new line draws inspiration from the 1940s and 1950s, with a particular emphasis on the vintage pin-up look. Each piece is a knock-out, and we especially love that the brand is well-priced! Prices range from $30 to $148 (for a chemise)...not bad!

We are currently stocking several of the Tra La La collections, each with a cute name; Catchy Number, Sitting Pretty, Good From Any Angle, Bat Your Eyelashes, Fly Me to the Moon, and Shimmy Over Here. The good news is that we will be carrying even more Tra La La designs within the next month...we will keep you posted!
