Layered Pastels

above: what a gorgeous combination with the layered bras...we love it!

those fuchsia fishnets are a must-have! we need to stock those at Faire Frou Frou!

This is a look we don't see much of...pretty sheer lingerie layered over pretty solid lingerie! Whoever styled this shoot did a cool job, especially with matching the complimentary-colored lingerie sets. Even the fishnet stockings are color-coordinated; we love it! Or perhaps we're completely off, and this is someone's lingerie brand that specializes in a layered look. Hmm...we're going to hope we're right on this. We really enjoy each of these pictures...and especially love the turquoise bead necklace in the first shot. Enjoy!

{mostly london + a little new york}





. . . ending London Fashion Week with softly falling metallic confetti, Burberry Prorsum's reinvention of the trench coat in shades of camel and nude was luxurious, short, and draped loveliness . . .



. . . and for a last look at New York, more draping at Reem Acra, mixed with soft, floaty silks and satins and handfuls of princess jewels . . .

{two lovely things: luxe luggage}


. . . while summer is weekend carry-alls and light-weight luggage, fall comes with deeply-hued and heavier pieces such as the always classic LV and stylishly cool Globe-Trotter in maroon, perfect for autumn adventures . . .

Sisley Undies



images by Camilla Akrans

No wonder we were attracted to these pictures; they are by Camilla Akrans, who seems to be the darling of the blogging world (it seems everyone has posted one of her pictures at one point or another). The images above are part of the Fall 2009 campaign for Sisley, an Italian clothing company that designs for men & women. We're not sure if this is a line that is simply carried in Sisley boutiques or if other stores carry it, but it sure is cute! Those corset-back panties are right up our alley!
We love the model's beautiful red hair too...anyone know who she is? (update: per reader Greg, the model is Maxine Schiff...thanks for the info!).

{autumn afternoons}

friday's happy weekend posts have somehow fallen away to weekend plans -- sometimes suitcases to pack or dinner reservations, but always excitement for the days ahead -- this weekend was moments in the still-warm september sun, afternoons in dusky cafés and evenings in candlelight, remembering rustling leaves and starlight and enveloped in the magic of autumn . . .

hope you had a beautiful weekend!
xo

{inspiration: new york fashion week}



. . . bursts of tulle and organza mingled with structured yet playful shorts suits and all "with a little something to make you dream" at j.mendel . . . and ruffles and beautifully blurry silk prints from childhood memories of cherry blossoms at erin fetherston . . .

Frou Frou Fridays - at Le Jeune Marie

images via here

Check out this week's Frou Frou Friday post at La Jeune Marie to see Sarah's latest adorable boudoir portrait! We love how Sarah demonstrates how tasteful and elegant a boudoir session can be.
Sadly, we were not able to complete our end of the post due to an avalanche of commitments pertaining to the DWP water damage at Faire Frou Frou.
We will be back with our final Frou-Frou Friday post on La Jeune Marie next week!
