GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

While I will always love beautifully arranged gallery walls, there is something about the simplicity of nearly bare walls in softly sophisticated hues that exudes a quiet elegance that draws me in . . .

The Sandrina Fasoli Fall 2008/09 collection is really lovely:
". . . a touch of femininity, innocence, nostalgia and no pretense."

Cheri, from one of my favourite blogs, Scout-Holiday, just had her creative and inspiring place featured on The Selby.

Two great bar carts to add to {the growing collection} . . .

Simone Perele is one of those French lingerie brands that has a history of expertise in creating beautiful well-fitting bras in a great variety of sizes. Established in 1948, Simone Perele started out as a corset-maker in Paris. The company has since grown leaps & bounds over the past 60 years to become one of the most well-recognized French lingerie labels. The concept of the Simone Perele label is best expressed by its founder: "Women do not need to choose between elegance and comfort".
We understand that not everyone in the U.S. is familiar with this brand, but it's certainly worth checking out!
We have re-introduced the line into our boutique with the beautiful Avant Premiere collection (gorgeous black lace), and a great basics line called Velia. The price range for Simone Perele pieces vary between approximately $70-$90 for their bras, which is comparable to the very popular Huit prices (Huit is another French brand that sells amazingly well at our boutique).
We suggest that you visit the Simone Perele website for their bra fitting advice section - they suggest the best bra based on your shape & size. It's a great tool!
