It's been far too long since we've featured Murmur on our blog, and now that the Spring 2013 Murmur collection is being released, we had to share!   Murmur is a brand that designs outerwear that is lingerie-inspired...but one look at these images tells you that.  The images above are from the latest collection called hellcat, which the designer wants to remind us means:

1. a. A woman regarded as bad-tempered and evil.
b. A woman who practices sorcery; a witch.
2. A person who torments others.  

That being said, we are enjoying the corset details and harness layering.   Do you have a favorite?

Cadolle Paris

Cadolle was one of the first brands we carried when we opened Faire Frou Frou since it was the perfect representation of the luxury and sophistication we wanted to create in our boutique.  Nearly seven years later and we are still love Cadolle just as much as we once did.  We recently became more enamored with this French family-owned company when we noticed that they gave their website a much-needed facelift.  The images from this post are just a few of the lovely images we discovered.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with Cadolle, we typically tell newbie customers that they are the Rolls Royce of corsetry.  In fact, they own the famous atelier in Paris where you can have a bra custom-made for yourself for around $800...hopefully that price-tag gives you an indication of their expertise.  Luckily the pieces we sell in our boutique are a little bit more wallet-friendly (just a little bit).

Cadolle - Bustiers & Corsets

Wearing a corset is perhaps the easiest way to add va-va-voom to a lingerie ensemble. It's also the easiest way to hide a less-than-perfect figure! For those of you who want the creme de la creme of the corset world, you go to Cadolle. Cadolle is a world-famous corset maker based in Paris. This family-owned company has been creating corsets/bustiers/lingerie in their workshops since 1889!
Basically Cadolle is to corsets what Louis Vuitton is to luggage. That is why we are so excited to represent the brand at our boutique! We just received our favorite shapes; the Under-Bust Corset and the Waist-Cincher. Personally, the Under-Bust corset is just the sexiest piece we've seen (it's pictured below with a Simone Perele 'Avant Premiere' bra and boyshort)!
