. . . and it has been a very long time since the last hair how-to, and after a little shopping for next week's trip to new york, all that is left are shoes {perhaps these?}, and the perfect up-do, and if you have been reading for a while, you will know about a love for brigitte bardot-esque hair, and so, a few tips on how to keep things sexy & tousled . . .

Laetitia Casta for French ELLE
Laetitia Casta for French ELLEWe are working on putting together an event at Faire Frou Frou that will involve shopping, champagne and French lessons! French instructor Monique Aldebert will give guests a mini tutorial on sweet little phrases for your next shopping trip to Paris; teaching essential lingerie terms, how to ask for those necessary directions to Laduree, terms of endearment, and so forth. For example, the French word for bra is 'soutien-gorge'...probably not a lot of Americans know that! At least we all know what the French word for 'lingerie' is!
We will let you know when we set a date for this event.

Va-Va-Va-Voom!
These images are by Guess for V Magazine, and in typical Guess fashion, the shoot appears very Brigitte Bardot-inspired.
From the days of Claudia Schiffer as the Guess girl to today, the ad campaign is immediately recognizable. Typically a sex-kitten gal with the tousled bedroom hair and Bardot eye makeup appear in the images. Some years have been better than others, and we just love this one. Our favorite look is the seamed fishnet stockings with the black panties - ooh la la!
Here's a picture from the Claudia Schiffer Guess campaign for our younger blog visitors who might not remember it!
