Mother's Day Gift Guide

Jessie Wilcox Smith - "Sweet and Low"

Mother's Day is just around the corner, and we have some terrific gift-buying suggestions for you!
Probably one of our most popular gifts so far has been the Sofia Robe (thanks to Daily Candy!). The prices range from $38 to $110, so there's something for every budget.
For an even more budget-friendly gift, we suggest the kai lotion or candle. Prices for kai products range from $22 to $45, and it's a fragrance that almost everyone loves! We suggest a kai product paired with a beautiful bouquet of peonies!
If you have a bit more to spend on mom, within the $150-$200 range, then we have some really cute tunics from Mimi Holliday, and the new arrivals from loungewear designer Dessous.
Now for those of you who really want to impress with a bigger budget item, every mom (or woman for that matter) appreciates jewelry! We suggest the new collection from Safia, which features multi-strand jewelry with semi-precious stone pendants. These necklaces range in price from $315 to $850, and is a great gift for a husband to buy for his wife!
Of course, you can always let mom find the perfect Faire Frou Frou item for herself with one of our gift certificates...

Though most of you have been doing this already, please mention 'Mother's Day' in the comments section of your online order, and we will provide a beautiful complimentary gift-wrap for your gift!

Dessous by Sophie Simmons - Spring 2008

Now that the weather is heating up, it's the perfect time of year to wear your loungewear as outerwear! That's what we did today, wearing our oh-so-cute Dessous 'chloe' dress (shown here in the last picture in periwinkle).
Dessous, by Sophie Simmons, is one of those great innerwear as outerwear collections that's almost too cute not to wear out. We received a few new pieces for the Spring '08 group, and we are loving the pretty periwinkle color. Each of the pieces has a delicate silk lace applique detailing that creates the signature Dessous look.
All items are made in the USA, and all silk trims are 100% silk.
P.S. - We'd like to give a special thank you to designer Sophie Simmons for the one-of-a-kind sample that she gifted to us - we couldn't be happier!

Dessous by Sophie Simmons

The Spring 2007 collection for Dessous by Sophie Simmons has arrived!

NYC-based designer Sophie Simmons created her collection based on inspiration from the workmanship and intricate details on "dessous" or "under pieces" she had inherited from her mother.
You will notice that in the Dessous collection, there's a vintage charm that can particularly be noted in the lace embroidery and applique on many of the pieces.

Sophie's designs are very much 'casual chic' with looks that border between loungewear and outerwear. For instance, many of her babydoll tops and tunics are adorable for sleep or loungewear, but also make great pieces for wearing out (especially when layered over leggings).

The Dessous collection consists of bras, camisoles, chemises, panties, shorts and tees...all of which are made from fine Italian cottons. At Faire Frou Frou, we have focused mainly on the chemises, jackets and jumpers so that our customers get the dual use of loungewear as outerwear. We have noticed that the pieces from this collection are great for layering, especially when attempting to show off a beautiful bra!

The collection is currently sold at Faire Frou Frou!
