. . . daydreams may float with vibrant colours and spring breezes, but scarcely february and have just purchased a new pair of tall boots to replace the three ruined by snow, sleet and rain, and still stepping out in cool & classic shades of ebony and onyx; and while some days, there may be clouds, here, they are always lined in gold -- and so, a perfect intermingling of the two . . .

. . . and while we're on the topic of sexy summer dresses, peter copping's resort 2011 collection for nina ricci, inspired by jackie onassis and 1960's greece, is pure ultra-feminine gorgeousness, awash in pale and pretty neutrals -- shades of buttercream and blush intermingling with flourishes of ruffles and lace, perfect for early mornings in sunny cafés and late, starlit ferry rides . . .

{p.s.} favourite is the sweet sheerest lacy little white dress with a hint of august sunrise beneath -- so lovely!

Nina Ricci

We are so proud to announce that we now carry Nina Ricci lingerie at Faire Frou Frou. This classic French label was founded in 1932 and is famous for its refined, romantic and feminine designs. Olivier Theyskens is the creative director of the ready-to-wear collection, which has positioned the label as a major front-runner in the world of luxury.
For the Nina Ricci lingerie group, we just received the Glycines collection. This collection is beautifully constructed from Levers lace, and had a light and airy feel. Included are a few pictures from the new collection (shown in black), and we only purchased it in White for Spring. The remaining images (the light-colored sets) are from a previous season.
