Carine Gilson - Fall-Winter 2011- 2012

images via Carine Gilson

It's time once again for our semi-annual gushing over Carine Gilson's latest collection!  The Fall 2011 styles were just released on the designer's website, and our fantasy lingerie wish list once again grows.  A new style that we are excited to see is the more casual gathered-waist slip dress, and another favorite is the elegant bow-tie belted dress that has a definite ready-to-wear look.  Once again we see a few luscious kimono robes that have the signature Carine Gilson delicate lace detail.  Just seeing the new season makes us proud to own a few of her pieces from past seasons as they never go out of style.  Many people consider designer lingerie an investment, and this is one designer worth investing in!

Huit Lingerie - Fall 2011

images via Huit

If this isn't the quintessential Fall lingerie collection, we don't know what is!  Huit is introducing its Asian-inspired Fall 2011 collection to stores right now, and we are pleased to share that we received our first shipment at Faire Frou Frou!  Perhaps more specifically, the new collection is inspired by beautiful Chinese fashions, but done in such a way so as not to lose the brand's very French essence.  Rich Fall colors are displayed in tastefully sweet styles and presented using some of the favorite bra/panty styles from previous Huit collections. Essentially you see pieces that are smooth and functional for everyday wear, but sophisticated and beautiful for a special occasion.
The Initiale, Mrs. Wang and China Girl collections are (or will be) available at Faire Frou Frou (shown in images 1, 2, 3, 4 & 9)!

Lounging About - Photos by Marcus Ohlsson

Something about lounging around in pretty lingerie is so appealing.  These photos by Marcus Ohlsson for Velvet Magazine are so lovely and romantic and simply needed to be shared.  That black bra in the first photo is so incredible (even if we don't know what it looks like from the front!).  We just wanted to share something simple and sweet.  Hope you enjoy!

Fleur of England - Getting Frisky with the Kitty Collection!

We have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Kitty collection from Fleur of England at our boutique...and it's finally here!  It's not like we don't already own leopard-print lingerie, but something about this collection is special.  Perhaps its the bold stretch straps, or the pairing of the cotton leopard print with the vintage-inspired black stretch microfiber.  The high-waist shorty is incredible...lots of stretch but it keeps your jiggly parts packed in (yay!).  The bra is fantastic...we've been wearing ours for the past 4-days straight (such a good layering piece since there are so many show-off worthy details).  Our customers will be happy to learn that the Kitty collection is is a bit easier on the wallet too!  This is one of the Fleur of England collections that is not made with lace, which always makes the prices more agreeable to the masses.  Essentially, there's no reason for you not to get your own Kitty lingerie set.  All you have to do is click here to get started!

Princesse Tam-Tam - Our Fall Wishlist Begins Here

 images via Princesse Tam-Tam

The Fall 2011 collection from Princesse Tam-Tam is almost so perfect it's disturbing.  The disturbing part stems from the fact that as a U.S. boutique we are unable to stock the label at Faire Frou Frou (though we once did for a few wonderful years).  Nonetheless, we see quite a few styles that we are smitten with, and with a bit of luck, will be able to purchase for our personal lingerie collection!  The first picture with the lace paired with the bow (that would be the RUBY collection)...perfection!  And what about that rose-colored satin & stretch tulle soft bra (called TAQUINE, which also comes in a pretty yellow if you look at their website)...wowza.  Another incredible piece is the GABY bra which is shown in the pretty powder color with the pleats, front-center keyhole cutout and the center bow.  Probably by the time you read this post, we will be well into researching how to get our eager hands on these pieces!  Do you have some favorites?  Or are they all favorites?

Bordelle - Bondage Chic Luxury Lingerie

images via Bordelle

It's time to unveil yet another naughty assortment of luxury goods from UK brand Bordelle.  Their Fall 2011 collection is online, and presents us with yet another strap-fest of bondage chic lingerie.  We love how this season was styled, especially the red lipstick and red heels...even the red telephone is cute!  Bordelle is a luxury brand, and is also a high-quality brand (sometimes you don't get both).  For those of you fortunate enough to own a Bordelle set or have seen it in person, you will likely agree.  It seems that this season is somewhat similar to seasons past, but that's okay, especially for those of you who don't already own one of their fabulous bondage / bandage dresses or bras!  It's a lingerie must-have!

Fifi Chachnil (Fall 2011) - The 7 Fundamental Virtues

We are happy to share that all of our Fall 2011 New Arrivals from Fifi Chachnil are now available on our website!  Fifi Chachnil is one of the first brands we carried at Faire Frou Frou, and nearly 7 years later the brand is still going strong in our boutique probably because it so perfectly captures our frou-frou essence!  The first image shows a little French lesson we put together, sharing the essential lingerie terms every fashionista should know.  It also displays styles that we have at our shop, which cover the fundamentals of every lingerie wardrobe: lace, silk and ruffles!
You can see some of our favorite pieces from the Fall collection, some of which are not shown in this post, on our website by clicking here.  Also, you will find one of our favorite pieces, which is the panty below (Le Desir Ruffle Brief), on our website.  We found this photo by Pierre Dal Corso online last year and were so happy to learn that those darling black panties were by Fifi!  We were even happier to learn that Fifi Chachnil included that style panty in her Fall collection...and of course we now have it at our boutique!
