La Perla - The Roaring Collection

La Perla unveiled part of its Winter 2011-2012 collection and frankly it's the cat's pajamas!  The Roaring Collection does a tasteful nod to the style of the 1920s with elegant pieces that in the hands of the wrong designer could have easily been campy or costume-like.  Inspired by the timeless beauty of Art Nouveau, we see beautiful patterned lace, bold lines and of course some fabulous fringe. We can't help but also note how beautifully photographed this campaign is.  We feel as if you can wear these intimates and slip back in time a la "Midnight in Paris" (we figure our Paris-loving readers have seen that movie!). 
We selected our favorites to share with you, but the entire catalog preview can be seen on the La Perla website.

Ophelia Fancy - Out of Control

We're excited, so we know you're excited...Ophelia Fancy finally arrives at Faire Frou Frou with one of their best collections yet: Out of Control.  These darling new arrivals are made from a combination of incredibly soft tulle with touches of satin here and there.  It's retro glam with a modern twist.  Admittedly this is a rather tame collection for UK designers Stevi & Em, a duo that has been creating rather quirky (in a good way) over-the-top theme lingerie collections since 2005.  But not only are these ladies talented in a creative sense, they also enlisted the top manufacturers in their field to create the highest quality products possible.
The new arrivals have inspired us immensely, so much so that we're taking quite a few pieces for ourselves for a pin-up photo shoot this weekend!  Now where can we find a cool black wig...
What are you waiting for, the new collection can be purchased here!

We See Pretty Underpants...

If the Givenchy Couture Fall 2011 fashion show is any indication of what the future of fashion holds (fyi it IS), then it's good news for those of us who love the lingerie as outerwear look!  We thought the whole high-waisted panty layered until a sheer skirt/dress was possibly on its way out, but not so fast!  It looks like we have another season of this lingerie-friendly look, which typically features a high-waist panty (we suppose it would look disastrous with a thong!).  It's been a few years since we first spotted this style on the runway, and it warms our hearts to see it once more.  It's also good because we will be buying for Faire Frou Frou Spring 2012 in just a couple of weeks, and it gives us an idea of what you lovely ladies (& gents) will be wanting!

Since pretty much all of the USA will have Monday off for 4th of July, we wanted to create a little inspiration post for the occasion.  We will be donning red, white & blue and doing some activity that requires a bikini (beach, pool party...just hangin' out with friends...we're still figuring that out).  The collage above is how the frou-frou gal celebrates this holiday; with a nautical touch and definitely red lipstick! 
We hope all of you in the states have a fun and safe long weekend!
