Valentine’s Day Year Round with Three J NYC

Who says Valentine’s Day is the only day to wear hearts?  Well whomever it was couldn’t be more wrong and it seems as if designer Alexandria McLeod of Three J NYC would happily agree.  With the new arrival to Faire Frou Frou of the classic Eloise short pajama set in red hearts, this set will be a sweet reminder of love.  Made with 100% cotton this set is perfect for those warm summer nights or lazy days spent indoors.  If the pajamas themselves didn’t remind you enough of love the quick story of Three J NYC will.  After spending many years in the fashion industry designing children’s clothes Alexandria finally decided to embark on her own design path and announced her collection of pajamas, Three J, which she named after her three siblings; sister Jamie, and brothers Jeff and John.  They supply Alexandria with much of the inspiration used to create all of her playful pajamas.

Skin - Addressing the Body

 

images via Skin

When you look at these designs by Skin, you get the idea that lounging in cotton can be just as elegant as lounging in silk.  Each piece is beautifully constructed with clean lines, soft pima cotton and essentially no fuss. 

Designer Susan Beischel is true to the philosophy that everyday garments can be luxurious, and that glamour can be found in simplicity.  Most styles are made from combinations of organic pima cotton and/or superfine jersey and crossover from loungewear to ready-to-wear when you layer just right.  

We have a few new arrivals from Skin on our website, and will be getting more beautiful pieces over the next few weeks!  We can't wait!

Zinke - Collins Ave Collection - Spring 2011

If you suddenly feel the urge to book a trip to Miami Beach and lay poolside at the Raleigh Hotel, you are not alone.  The Spring 2011 Zinke collection was designed with Miami in mind; specifically the sunny destination spot Collins Avenue. Naturally a few of the pieces in the new collection are named after famous Miami hotels (the Carlyle, the Raleigh...) and every piece will have you yearning for sunny days and swaying palm trees.  This season the Zinke designers Arin & Jessie were inspired by the "energy, vibrancy and art deco architecture" of Miami which translates in their cheerful use of color: pool blue, flamingo pink, sand dollar ivory and chartreuse green. 
The new arrivals are already at Faire Frou Frou and selling quickly!  You can purchase those new items here.

It seems like time is flying by, and before you know it it will be Summer! A fun, fresh way to usher in the new season would be to start with these adorable loungewear pieces by Zinke Design (pronounced Zin-kee). Their Summer 2010 collection is hitting stores in a matter of days and consists of essentials you can comfortably relax in from day to night. We are particularly loving the violet and tangerine colorways...they remind us of a delicious bowl of sorbet!

Skin Lingerie on the Martha Stewart Show!

some older Skin favorites that we love!

Skin Lingerie designer Susan Beischel (center, in orange) with Martha Stewart

We were beyond excited when we heard from our friend Susan Beischel of Skin Lingerie that she would be featured on the Martha Stewart Show! How absolutely perfect that this organic cotton brand be featured on Martha's show, especially given its practical, eco-friendly foundation.
We have carried Skin Lingerie at Faire Frou Frou for as long as we have been in business, and it's well-known by our customers as an essential loungewear line. Martha Stewart refers to it as "comfy cotton couture"...we agree!
Most of Skin's pieces are made from pima cotton in varying weights (from terry cloth to featherweight) and even some Fall/Winter specialty pieces in cashmere. A selection of items are made in organic cotton and dyed using vegetable dye. Any 'fur' you may see is alpaca hair, which Susan makes certain is obtained cruelty-free.
To see the Skin Lingerie segment on the Martha Stewart Show, watch this Friday, May 7, 2010 for the special Mother's Day episode.

Kriss Soonik: Lingerie as Outerwear

The Spring/Summer 2010 collection from London-based designer Kriss Soonik is finally available! The new pieces are filled with a kind of urban feminine charm, and showcased on a model who refuses to put on a sultry face just because she's modeling intimates.
As you can see, many of the pieces work perfectly as outerwear or better yet, they are wonderful for showing a pretty bra that is layered underneath.
To shop these new arrivals, visit Kriss Soonik's online boutique here.
