Seeing Stars (or Sequins)

You can't have the holiday season without a little sparkle in your wardrobe! Add a bit of discreet sparkle with your lingerie, with new arrivals from Damaris and Mimi Holliday. The pieces featured here are accented with tiny sequins, and filled with glamour!
The Damaris Itacare collections are our favorite - decadent and gorgeous pieces made from silk, delicate lace and tiny sequins. This is our idea of black-tie lingerie!
For a more subtle use of sequins, check out the Mimi Holliday Twinkle Bomb set (brand new!) and the Shooting Star pieces. You can purchase the Damaris pieces here, and the Mimi Holliday pieces here.

'Tis the season to sparkle!

Perhaps the Easiest Holiday Gift...

We are excited that the Holiday season is upon us, and we will be sharing some gift-giving ideas with you over the next month. Our first suggestion is perhaps the simplest, because everyone loves it: kai fragrance.
kai made the cut on Oprah's Favorite Things last year with its newly launched Body Butter. This year kai introduces a new product; the Moonlight Candle. It is a 3-wick soy blend candle with a 100% European cotton wick and a stunning hand-blown glass vase. This large slow-burning fragrance candle will fill the room with the aura of kai for about 110 hours! We just received our Moonlight Candle and love, love it!
For those (few) of you who are not familiar with kai, its claim-to-fame is the Perfume Oil which is made from a blend of gardenia and tropical wildflowers. It's a fresh, clean scent that has mass appeal!

New from The Lake & Stars!

It's always a fun day when we receive new items from The Lake & Stars! We recently received the 'Antidote' collection, which is a wonderfully fun group of micromesh bras and panties with those signature quirky but cute accents that TLS is known for.
The Antidote pieces will be known as the mesh collection with the little feather accents. The navy/black pieces have a small purple feather accent, and the hot pink/tomato pieces have a bright yellow feather detail. The small feather accents are removable, but we suggest that the only time you take them off is when laundering your items.
What we particularly love are the hi-waisted panties - so, so flattering! We also love the bralette and the garter belt, because these are the items that come with the little feather detailing. I guess you could say that we love the entire group!
You can purchase these new items at our boutique or online here!

We feel like we have been m.i.a. from the blogging world, with only a few posts here and there. It can actually be time-consuming finding something blog-worthy to post, and we have been busy with a bunch of projects here at our boutique! Thank you for your patience. ;-)

Anyhow, we wanted to post a bit of editorial eye-candy featuring Cindy Crawford in the November issue of French Vogue magazine. Thank you to one of our readers who alerted us to the pretty bras in this spread!

Trunk Show Follow-Up

Alison of Faire Frou Frou & Yasmine from the Giving Tea

We would like to thank everyone who made our Trunk Show a wonderful success! The goal of the event was not only to shop, but to raise funds for at-risk young girls from Longfellow Elementary School. The wonderful group of women who attended, many from local Giving Tea groups, raised nearly $1,000!

According to event organizer Yasmine, the girls we raised money for "are considered "at-risk" and will be steered in a positive direction through etiquette classes and other club activities designed to empower them. We raised money for a surprise end of year event for the girls...a visit to Huntington Gardens to have tea!"

A special thank you to the amazing Yasmine Delawari for assisting us with organizing this event.

We would also like to thank Erin Delawari from Longfellow Elementary, Safia from SAFIA jewelry, Amy Rodrigues for the yummy cupcakes, the ladies of the Pasadena and Sherman Oaks Giving Tea, and everyone who attended!
