Anna Friel for Vanity Fair (a teensy bit NSFW)

image via Pink Lemonade

We just love the August cover of Vanity Fair, featuring actress Anna Friel. We have to admit we had to look up who she is, and for those of you who don't know, Anna was in the movie "Land of the Lost" and the TV show "Pushing Daisies".
There's a lot of buzz around this shoot, particularly because everyone on the internet is saying she's 'nude'...we consider it more like 'topless', but anyhow...
We wanted to share the few lingerie shots from the feature, along with the gorgeous cover and just a pretty picture of Anna wearing a pink gown.

Stockings; as Interpreted by Katja Mayer

The one common denominator in all of these photos is the standout stockings and hosiery. Photographer Katja Mayer has captured several models wearing decorative thigh highs, perhaps while each was practicing their stretches! Our favorite is the purple pair in the first picture, and of course we always love the vintage-looking seamed stockings. What's interesting is that stockings are such a simple item that make such a dramatic impact, particularly when it comes to fashion photography.

What Katie Did - the Latest Must-Have Brand!

With so much talk of pin-ups and burlesque, it's so much fun representing a brand that perfectly enables you to capture that look. Faire Frou Frou is proud to introduce the brand What Katie Did to its boutique. This very saucy UK label is inspired by the looks of the 40s and 50s, and even uses vintage patterns to create some of its latest pieces. No wonder the designs are so spot-on fantastic!
To start out, we have brought several of the corsets and waist-cinchers into our store. Our next phase will be to bring some of their amazing vintage-inspired lingerie to our customers. What's especially good about the brand is that the pricing is such that no corset is priced higher than $235 (that's very good in corset prices...especially for one that is hand-constructed from start to finish by an expert UK corsetier!).

The Lake & Stars - new pieces at Faire Frou Frou

We have these pieces (Truce & Trick Date) available at Faire Frou Frou now!!

We are finally getting around to adding the new pieces from The Lake & Stars to our online store and blog! The pictures in this post represent 2 new groups; Truce and Trick Date.
Basically the Truce pieces are those with the mesh & net strips across the front of the tops. The Trick Date pieces are those with the contrast ribbon trim on the tops (pink with orange ribbon, navy blue with green ribbon). Both groups are just lovely and true to The Lake & Stars style, which is an assortment of modern, feminine and fashion-forward designs.
We actually have the entire collection in stock, but haven't quite gotten everything online as of this moment (should be soon!)...let us know if there's something you're wanting.
You should know that Nikki & Maayan from TLS were featured in the July issue of W Magazine as one of "this year's breakout young designers". Both designers are shown below, along with a model wearing one of their pieces (6th, 7th & 8th from left). Congratulations ladies!!!
