Lingerie or Ready-to-Wear?

This reminds us of so many of our customers who shop at Faire Frou Frou and mention that some of our lingerie looks like ready-to-wear...and it is! With a bit of creativity and stylish flair, you can make almost any look work to your desired effect. That's the beauty of fashion these days. We make our own lingerie work as ready-to-wear as often as possible, and why not, it's too pretty to cover up!
{holiday inspiration: warm slate + evergreen}
. . . quietly floating snowflakes and prettily wrapped packages, napkins tied with mistletoe and candles wrapped in satin, and most of all, happy anticipation in this, the most magical time of the year
hope you're having a wonderful holiday season,
xo

. . . whirling around in a flurry of holiday festivities, last-minute shopping, cupcakes and lunch dates, leaving a beautiful pile of pretty party dresses and layers and layers of tulle behind . . .
{p.s.} a fun new feature at the side project: runway to editorial

{stylist: faye toogood}
always fun & interesting to come across the same photograph in two different portfolios, such as the beautiful image of the luxurious satin sheets {below}, originally discovered in the portfolio of photographer emma lee, only to discover it again -- nearly a year later, in the wonderful portfolio of stylist faye toogood . . .

The philosophy behind the brand, and perhaps Blatstein's key to success is that she merges current trends with timeless styles. It's a win-win!
