You can imagine our excitement when we came across these beautiful pictures of Dita von Teese from Madison Magazine.  There's plenty of vintage lingerie goodness and some darling dresses that you just know pretty underpinnings are hidden beneath!  In the last image Dita is wearing a corset & panties from Wheels & Dollbaby which is the most adorable vintage-inspired online store we love to visit (when not shopping fairefroufrou.com, of course!). 
You can learn a bit about Dita from the Madison article posted here; for instance, perhaps some of you didn't know that Dita von Teese was once a lingerie saleswoman and that her real name is Heather Sweet.  She's come a long way!

Doesn't black & white photography just seem to make everything an instant classic?  Model Elise Crombez is showing off some timeless pieces from this 2007 editorial for Numero Magazine.  Just seeing that black chemise in the first picture is a reminder of how some lingerie can be timeless.  Each image is quite beautiful, and check out those patterned tights in the last shot!  So beautiful!

Maison Close - Villa Bel-Ami Lingerie Collection

images courtesy of Maison Close

Maison Close is one of the best-selling lingerie brands at Faire Frou Frou; seriously, not a day goes by when someone doesn't purchase it.  The new Fall/Winter collection arrived in our shop a few weeks ago, and we finally have most of the Villa Bel-Ami pieces on our site in the new 'rose' color.  Up until now it seems that black was the only color option for Maison Close, so we were delighted to see 'rose' added to the mix.  This collection is quite enticing perhaps because it highlights the natural curves of the body while exposing a tasteful amount of skin with its semi-sheer mesh fabric.  The Bel-Ami pieces are silky soft yet structured with its architectural contrast seams.  Plus the fit is pretty exceptional and pleasantly comfortable.  From A-cups to D-cups, the Corset Bra is a hit on most women who try it, and the matching High Waist Girdle Thong is one of those pieces that is pretty much the high-waist panty to own.
Next week we will be featuring the Maison Close Bel-Ami new arrivals in black (on their way to us now from France!).  Also, as a bit of insider information, the Bel-Ami collection is also going to be available in Gray this month. 
You can purchase Maison Close at our Los Angeles lingerie boutique & online here.
