Baring It All... In Front of a Camera?

In honor of Faire Frou Frou's new sister company bŏu dōir we want to talk about Boudoir Photo Shoots! Whether it's something special for your trousseau, an anniversary gift, or something fun just because, a boudoir photo shoot will always leave you feeling sexy and empowered. I'm sure many of you are thinking, "I could never do that" and that is just not true. Boudoir photography is a way to capture yourself in time whether you're 25 or 90 and make you feel youthful and sexy. As for your "problem areas" the photographers always know the best angles to make you look absolutely irresistible. With so many routes to go it can be hard to choose a theme for your photo shoot. Should it be colorful and fun? Classic in black and white? The decisions really are endless. My personal style favorites include, big sexy hair, some killer heels, dramatic lashes and a lot of lace. I also love when women include personal items such as  their mans button down or tie. Maybe even his favorite team's jersey. The most important thing about doing a boudoir photo shoot is making it personal and just having fun with it! Plus who doesn't love playing dress up?!

 

Here's a few picks that we adore:

We See Pretty Underpants...

If the Givenchy Couture Fall 2011 fashion show is any indication of what the future of fashion holds (fyi it IS), then it's good news for those of us who love the lingerie as outerwear look!  We thought the whole high-waisted panty layered until a sheer skirt/dress was possibly on its way out, but not so fast!  It looks like we have another season of this lingerie-friendly look, which typically features a high-waist panty (we suppose it would look disastrous with a thong!).  It's been a few years since we first spotted this style on the runway, and it warms our hearts to see it once more.  It's also good because we will be buying for Faire Frou Frou Spring 2012 in just a couple of weeks, and it gives us an idea of what you lovely ladies (& gents) will be wanting!

With bridal season upon us, we thought it fitting to do a post on 'bridal lingerie'. Of course, beautiful white lingerie is not just limited to brides! Most of our non-bridal customers are those who are buying pieces like what you see in this post! And we completely understand that - who could resist such pretty pieces?
Now that we think about it, we will likely do another post next week featuring bridal blue lingerie...as well as affordable suggestions for bridal shower/bachelorette party gifts.

Bridal Gift Registry

It seems like bridal season is upon us! Many of our customers are either purchasing bridal presents, or they are brides requesting a bridal registry. That being said, we just want to remind you that we do provide Bridal Registry at Faire Frou Frou.
Our Bridal Registry service is available in our Studio City boutique, though we get A LOT of customers ordering bridal gifts over the phone or online. Just an FYI, once our new website is launched, we will offer bridal registry on www.fairefroufrou.com.
In the meantime, if you are a Bride, just come in to our boutique and we can get the registry process started.
If you are buying for the Bride, then just stop in or call/email us. We have worked with many out-of-state customers, so we are set-up to accommodate customers via phone/email.
Say "I Do" with Faire Frou Frou!
