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!

Daily Candy post!

We were so pleased to receive another mention on Daily Candy, and this time it is for their Mother's Day shopping guide. They chose exactly what we would recommend for a perfect Mother's Day gift; the Sofia Robe!
This is the perfect line for moms young & old - it's comfy, stylish, sweet and feminine!

Douce Collection from Andres Sarda

We've posted quite a few new items to our online boutique from Andres Sarda.
Andres Sarda is a Barcelona-based lingerie brand that specializes in high-end intimate apparel. The Douce collection features designs made from a combination of polka dot silk and eyelash lace trim.
The two color groups we brought into our boutique include the Ivory/Black dot, and the Creme/Lilac dot.
You have options with this collection, as we have the underwire bra and the molded cup versions, as well as thongs and boyshorts for both colors.

More Reasons to Love I.D. Sarrieri!

We are in the process of adding some new I.D. Sarrieri products to our online store, and in the process found some beautiful pictures we wanted to share with you. These images are from an I.D. Sarrieri runway show (likely in 2007).
Just look at how beautiful these pieces are - it's brands like I.D. Sarrieri that really do a great job representing what luxury lingerie looks like. You can tell right away what fine Chantilly lace and satin silk they use.
Some of these runway pieces never made it into the mainstream collection (as far as we know), which is a shame because Faire Frou Frou customers would love to have them!!
Included here is a picture of Iulia Dobrin, the designer of the Romanian lingerie line I.D. Sarrieri, with supermodel Adriana Karembeu at the runway show.

P.S. - Our April/May blog header features an ID Sarrieri set that we do have at Faire Frou Frou (in white Chantilly lace - so pretty!).

Skin Lingerie; Eco-Friendly

In celebration of Earth Day (or Earth Week as they are promoting on NBC), we wanted to post a story on one of our eco-friendly designers Skin Lingerie. Skin is a luxury loungewear line which offers pieces made from 100% organic pima cotton, organic terry cloth and uses 100% organic vegetable dyes for coloring some of its pieces.
We know that 'organic' is a popular buzz word these days, but a lot of people aren't exactly sure what this entails when they purchase a clothing labeled organic. Basically, organic agriculture is a cleaner approach to farming in which farmers use biologically-based rather than chemically-dependent growing systems to raise crops. An interesting fact to note is that each T-shirt made from one hundred percent organic cotton saves one-third of a pound of synthetic fertilizers and farm chemicals!

Supporting environmentally responsible brands such as Skin is just one of those little steps you can take to protect our beautiful planet! Who knew that you can buy sexy lingerie and save the world all in one shot!
