Life at Faire Frou Frou (According to Instagram)

We just got back from a whirlwind trip to NYC and naturally wanted to share our favorites from the week with you!  We really wish we had taken more photos, but the trip was so jam-packed busy that it didn't leave for much time to snap pics and then artfully edit them à la Instagram.  Anyhow, here's a nice sample of some fun times we enjoyed!  We attended Curve NY which is an awesome tradeshow for the intimate apparel industry.  Out of respect for the designers we represent, we are not showing too much of what will be unveiled for S/S2013 (those lingerie gals like to keep things under wraps!!), but we had to take a few photos at the show.  It's no surprise that we will once again be carrying Zinke, Bordelle and Marlies Dekkers in our store next season, so we felt comfortable sharing just a few pics from our visit to their booths.  We did discover several new brands, so expect to see some dazzling new talent at our shop for Spring...but until then, hush-hush! 
We spent A LOT of time at the tradeshow, so it left the tiniest amount of time for the speediest shopping time ever.  We popped by some of our favorite spots on Madison Avenue (Ralph Lauren to play with sunglasses...and then we got in trouble for taking pics!) and naturally Bergdorf Goodman (where we traditionally stop for lunch)!  One of the highlights of our free time was an impromptu meeting of a few friends for dinner.  This fabulous group of lingerie designers & bloggers included the ladies behind Style on the Couch, That Je Ne Sais Quoi, ARI DEIN, Gilda & Pearl, Kriss Soonik and Lascivious. 
Now it's time for us to write all of our Spring 2013 orders...it's going to be a busy week ahead!

the Faire Frou Frou PARIS buying trip!!

Alison & Gail are packing up and heading to the beautiful city of Paris for a lingerie-buying trip for Faire Frou Frou!
We have appointments with many of the top lingerie designers in the world, some of which are at a tradeshow, or within the brand's Paris boutique. We are so excited to have our meeting at the famous Chanel boutique (for Eres lingerie) as well as Christian Dior (the same store shown on the last episodes of 'Sex & the City').
We have meetings with a variety of wonderful designers, but for now we need to remain hush-hush on the names (we can't give the competition all of our secrets!)!
Aside from work, we will be attending a Balanchine/Forsythe ballet at the Opera Garnier (ooh la la!), and will spend time at the wonderful flea markets for some personal goodies.
A trip to Paris would not be complete without an afternoon tea and sweets at LADUREE...we will bring back plenty of gifts from there!
We seriously have a huge list of places to shop, eat, drink...so much to do, so little time!
In the meantime, Faire Frou Frou will be open for business!!!
Our online store is open for business as usual, so please continue to shop there as well!

A Bientot!
