Cool Blue Inspiration

images: photo by Aitken Jolly, Damaris lace (color adjusted), Dita von Teese from Perrier video, Christian Dior runway 2008, 'Lost in Jamaica' by Ellen von Unwerth, La Perla

We're certainly not in a blue mood, but rather we are feeling inspired by the color blue today!  It was actually the Aitken Jolly photograph at the top of this post that inspired us; and let's just pause to say how adorable the ruffle, puff-sleeve top is layered over that darling lace bra.  Really, it's a lingerie-as-outerwear look that is most practical for 'real life'.  The lace of the model's bra reminded us a bit of the Damaris 'Frisson' collection, which we color-adjusted a sample of lace to match the theme of our post. 
We want to note that the Dita von Teese image is a (blurry) frame we captured from her very impressive video advertisement with Perrier.  If you haven't seen The Perrier Mansion website, you need to go there immediately!

We have finally posted all of the new arrivals from Mimi Holliday on our website! If you don't know about this brand, it's time you learn...Mimi Holliday is the spin-off diffusion line of the luxury lingerie label Damaris. Basically it's designed by the same talent behind Damaris but at a fraction of the price. Bras and panties range in price from $50-$89, and now the brand offers new styles such as garter belts and teddys/rompers! Perhaps after seeing the images from the Spring 2010 collection (above) you get an idea of why this is one of the most popular brands in our store!
Some of the new lingerie collections that we have on our site are Allure, Ooh La La, Adorable, Bisou Bisou Noir, Privee & Encore L'Amour.

You can shop this collection here, or better yet, you can see it in our newly renovated boutique this Saturday! (Faire Frou Frou's Grand Re-Opening is this Saturday, April 10th, 11am-6pm in Studio City, CA).

Damaris, the Movie!

images via here
thanks to Miss Narcissus for sharing

Leave it to lingerie designer Damaris to take part in such a fun project! The above images are stills from the short film called "Chore" showing exclusively at Vogue.com. Damaris teamed up with director Justin Anderson and a group of talented people to create this avant-garde video.
The woman in the film does mundane chores in the most exquisite lingerie...something we have admittedly never done. So many people save their fabulous intimates for a special occasion, so it's an interesting concept to see lingerie worn for such common activity.
For Justin's explanation of this project, click here.
The video is semi-NSFW, so please be advised accordingly. It is also quirky and eye-catching...enjoy!

Damaris - Fall 2009 Collection

The name of the photographer escapes us (it's on our Fall 2009 catalogue, but we can't find it!)

There were 2 different photographers...one for the 'glamour' shots and one for the catalogue...

images copyright Damaris

It's such a happy moment for us, finally being able to share the new Damaris Fall 2009 images with you! As always, we are presented with some gorgeous designs and we feel this is an especially strong collection. Probably our favorite of all of the items is the Frisson group. The Frisson pieces are those with a lily pattern on a fine tulle material; so striking and classic.
We noticed that most of the bras (except for the Ophelia Soft Cup Bra) offer great support and can be worn for more than just a special occasion. Even some of the matching bottoms are more practical. A new selection for Fall includes nightgowns and robes; something that was not offered in the past. We love having so many options!
The new Damaris Fall 2009 collection (groups include Frisson, Ophelia and Ballerina) is now online and available for purchase!

Damaris "Incandescence" Knickers

Fleur T - Something Blue Knickers

Strumpet & Pink "Garden of Delights" knickers

MYLA - Annabelle Button-Back knickers

Miss Lala Presents... - Chocolate Box Panties

We have noticed that quite a few of the panties in our boutique make quite a presentation from the back - don't you agree? From bows and ruffles to fun embroidery, there are such adorable options right now. Granted, most of these are 'special occasion' pieces - so you're not supposed to wonder if these will work under a pair of jeans. These are strictly for flaunting!

Damaris - Oh-So-Girly and Fresh

We recently received the new Spring collection from Damaris, and it's getting quite a reaction! The Incandescence group, the pieces made from white polka dot lace with flourescent pink accents, has been in our store window for about a week and has drawn in many passers-by.
The 2 groups that are currently available are 'Incandescence' and 'Tullett'. The Tullett group is ivory silk with grosgrain detailing, and silk chiffon flower accents. We think the pictures of this group don't do it justice...in person the details are just lovely.
Check out the pictures and see for yourself why Incandescence has caused a stir...it's a statement group that celebrates your inner girly girl! Actually, that can be said for all of Damaris's designs.
You can buy these pieces, along with other Damaris collections, here.

Seeing Stars (or Sequins)

You can't have the holiday season without a little sparkle in your wardrobe! Add a bit of discreet sparkle with your lingerie, with new arrivals from Damaris and Mimi Holliday. The pieces featured here are accented with tiny sequins, and filled with glamour!
The Damaris Itacare collections are our favorite - decadent and gorgeous pieces made from silk, delicate lace and tiny sequins. This is our idea of black-tie lingerie!
For a more subtle use of sequins, check out the Mimi Holliday Twinkle Bomb set (brand new!) and the Shooting Star pieces. You can purchase the Damaris pieces here, and the Mimi Holliday pieces here.

'Tis the season to sparkle!

these Mimi Holliday pieces have sequin detailing
