Vintage Whimsy - Alexandra Grecco

It's interesting where playing around the internet can lead you...today it led us to Brooklyn-based brand Alexandra Grecco. Though not necessarily a lingerie brand, there are lovely lingerie-inspired touches and lounge pieces (and one bra & panty set!). The designer has an Etsy shop and sells her whimsical pieces to a handful of boutiques in the U.S. We were instantly smitten with the photographs of her collection, as they have a dreamy, old Hollywood cinema feel. If we're not mistaken, she has named several of her pieces using 1920s-30s Hollywood references (the Gish, Emerald City, Pickford) and was inspired by her Grandma's vintage wardrobe in designing her pieces. If anything her designs are a throwback to childhood memories with the rompers and bloomer shorts.
You can visit Alexandra Grecco's store here.

Like An Exotic Flower...Toad Lillie Lingerie

While browsing the always-inspiring Miss Narcissus, we discovered the darling new lingerie line called Toad Lillie. This unique, made-to-measure brand, which is only available on the Toad Lillie Etsy boutique, is really a standout in the ever-growing world of luxe lingerie.
The toad lillie is a woodland flower, and the frilly trim on most of the pieces are meant to mimic the ruffled edges of an exotic flower. The designer, Laurie Shapiro tastefully combines ruffles, bows and ruching in a selection of beautiful silk with velvet ribbon accents (love the cobalt blue, the hot pink and the pale silver colors). It's as though she took all of our favorite things and combined them into a lingerie collection! Upon reading that she was inspired to design frilly intimates after seeing a burlesque show, we completely understand her vision.
To see the entire Toad Lillie collection, as well as the decorated pasties (aka Lillies), click here.
So many of these pieces are calling our name, which one is your favorite?

prints by Studio Frou Frou Fashionista, copyright 2010

We are excited to announce one of the first special projects we have slated for 2010, and that is the opening of the Frou Frou Fashionista Etsy boutique!
Though we're still very much in the lingerie business (with Faire Frou Frou), we wanted to add another fun category to our work with the addition of our Etsy store. Our little shop includes prints of watercolors/paintings created by Gail & Alison Rubke (that's us!) that are inspired by beautiful pictures we've collected over the years. For instance, the shoe prints are based on a favorite pair of ballet flats on a zig zag background from our favorite stationary.
We will continue to add more images to our Etsy shop as we have plenty more to add!
We hope you enjoy what you see!
