We would like to wish all of our delightful customers, blog followers/readers and friends a beautiful 2011!  Of course Faire Frou Frou would be nothing without your continued support, which we treasure each and every day.  We are exiting 2010 on a high note and are so excited about what's in-store for the new year.  We are actually planning BIG for the new year and will certainly keep you involved with our projects and expansion as we have details. 
This day marks the perfect opportunity to thank you!  There's so much inspiration and happiness to be found in our daily frou-frou interactions. 
Happy New Year (or Bonne Année) friends.

Mademoiselle Fifi; The Fifi Chachnil CD!

We love that not only can you wear Fifi Chachnil, you can listen to her too!  Our friend and the quintessential French lingerie designer Fifi Chachnil recently released a mini CD filled with bubbly, lighthearted French tunes.  We have this delightful little album and today marks the debut of it playing at Faire Frou Frou's Studio City boutique!  The songs are a perfect match for the Fifi fan in that they should be playing while wearing her lingerie, sipping champagne and eating colorful macarons.  Fifi is no stranger to the music industry, having recorded her first album back in 1984. 
You can purchase the CD or download the music off of iTunes (we suggest that, particularly since you can preview the songs).
Enjoy!

Carlo Pieroni Pin-Ups

4th of July is coming up...is this how you will celebrate?

the model is wearing a Fifi Chachnil nightgown and bra/panty...all sold at Faire Frou Frou!

Last year we did a post on pin-up photographer Carlo Pieroni, and we recently discovered that he added a few new images to his portfolio! His work really does capture the essence of the vintage pin-up from the fresh-faced leggy models to the campy illustrated backdrops.
The lingerie in each shot is so adorable, and one of the images actually features an entire Fifi Chachnil set sold at Faire Frou Frou. We have the lingerie, all we need is Carlo to come over with his camera! Wouldn't it be fun to splurge and have someone capture you in a photograph looking this amazing?
To see the rest of Carlo Pieroni's beautiful portfolio, click here.

The lovely ladies over at Fifi Chachnil alerted us to this editorial by photographer Adeline Mai featuring quite a few of their pieces (and pieces that we carry at Faire Frou Frou). The photo at the very top of this post is by the same photographer for a different shoot, but it was so adorable we had to include that too!
Enjoy!

Frou Frou Tidbits

above: the front window of our boutique (fyi that's a Fifi Chachnil set that you can purchase here!)

above: the "before" shot. An interior view of our devastated boutique...but good news is on the way! We are in the process of hiring a contractor to work his magic! Say goodbye to the ugly...

We have been spending so much time at Faire Frou Frou boutique this week, that we wanted to share the latest news with our readers/customers. We have made no secret of the fact that we have been fighting our insurance company over getting a fair settlement
on the water damage in our boutique. We had no idea how shady the insurance industry was until this...but it has been an education.
Nonetheless, we are now finally able to move forward and rebuild our beautiful boutique! We have been meeting with contractors/painters/electricians and so forth this past week, and we're closing in on accepting a bid. Probably the work will begin in about a week...very exciting! We can't wait to post the 'after' pictures of Faire Frou Frou! Stay tuned as we update you on our progress (new awning, new exterior garden, new paint, new lighting, and so forth).
We also wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your tremendous support. The phone calls, voicemails, emails, online purchases, blog comments, Twitter comments, you name it...each and every one amazing. xoxo

On another note entirely...
We just had to post this image from fellow blogging friend Fifi Flowers. This painting is based on a Chantal Thomass picture we shared in yesterday's blog post! Isn't it fun! You can very likely buy this print, along with many others through Fifi's website.

We finally posted part of the new Fifi Chachnil Fall 2009 collection to our website! This collection, called Sortir en Culotte, is really the perfect assortment in terms of luxury essentials. You have silk, lace and the color black; pretty much a combination everyone loves!
We actually have plenty more Fifi Chachnil items to post, but this is the complete group from Sortir en Culotte. Don't you just want every piece?! We're in love.
We will post on the remaining new Fifi items next week (expect to see pink, white & lilac).

We were able to shoot new arrivals from Fifi Chachnil, Vannina Vesperini, Only Hearts and some fabulous boudoir pieces made just for us (more of those items will be coming as well)!
We will be adding new items to our online store throughout the week, so keep checking in. In the meantime, the items shown above were just added to our online boutique, so start shopping!!

Just a quick update: our Studio City boutique is still closed for renovations. We hope to re-open by late November 2009.

Vogue Germany

Anja Rubik for Vogue Germany, September 2009
photographed by Alexi Lubomirski

We had to share this Vogue Germany editorial featuring Anja Rubik because lingerie seems to make a cameo appearance in each shot. For every great outfit she is wearing, there's even better lingerie underneath. Of course some of the world's top lingerie brands make an appearance in these pictures: Carine Gilson, Myla, La Perla Black Label and Roberto Cavalli (we can't quite make out the other credits). We also love how stockings play an important role in most of the images, particularly the cover! In fact, the cover look reminds us of our new Fifi Chachnil Fall shipment that's on its way in...lots of sexy body-shaper styles (but more on that when we have the new items posted on our website).
