The Pretty Bra That Fits... Claudette




           With so many designers it can be overwhelming to find good bras that make you feel sexy no matter your cup size. Claudette is our pick of the day for bras that give support, comfort and still make you look good. Using a softer wire in their bras, it is comfortable and doesn't constrain. Claudette is never shy to use bold colors and their sheer Dessous mesh range is sheer up to a G cup. What's special about the Dessous bra is that it has a 3-part design unlike most bras out there. As a lover of sheer bras myself I couldn't resist getting one... or three of my own when I started working at Faire Frou Frou. I can proudly say that I adore my Claudette bras. They are fun to wear and give me the lift and support I need. Having been featured in magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Lingerie Insight and Vogue, it's obvious we aren't the only ones attracted to this exciting brand. With their Spring/ Summer '15 line we fell in love a little bit more with all of the new enticing colors. As ownership has changed here at Faire Frou Frou we absolutely love how Claudette always adds a pop of excitement to our store. Be sure to check them out on our online store, Fairefroufrou.com or loveclaudette.com.
We can't wait for more new arrivals!

Baring It All... In Front of a Camera?

In honor of Faire Frou Frou's new sister company bŏu dōir we want to talk about Boudoir Photo Shoots! Whether it's something special for your trousseau, an anniversary gift, or something fun just because, a boudoir photo shoot will always leave you feeling sexy and empowered. I'm sure many of you are thinking, "I could never do that" and that is just not true. Boudoir photography is a way to capture yourself in time whether you're 25 or 90 and make you feel youthful and sexy. As for your "problem areas" the photographers always know the best angles to make you look absolutely irresistible. With so many routes to go it can be hard to choose a theme for your photo shoot. Should it be colorful and fun? Classic in black and white? The decisions really are endless. My personal style favorites include, big sexy hair, some killer heels, dramatic lashes and a lot of lace. I also love when women include personal items such as  their mans button down or tie. Maybe even his favorite team's jersey. The most important thing about doing a boudoir photo shoot is making it personal and just having fun with it! Plus who doesn't love playing dress up?!
 
Here's a few picks that we adore:

Let the Sunshine In: Celebrating Timpa Lingerie!

One of the many great benefits of working at Faire Frou Frou is every time I walk in the door there is always something new for me to fall in love with.  A couple weeks ago was no different as I was greeted at the front door by a new bra and panty set from the Timpa Duet collection, which reminded me of a ray of sunshine.  To describe the color as just “yellow” does it no justice, the color is truly inspired by the sun making it all the more perfect for Summer time.  The set consist of the Timpa classic unlined underwire demi bra designed with patented airy crochet lace.  The Duet demi bra offers a beautiful cut that lifts and shapes without padding.  The panties are available in either a traditional thong or bikini brief, designer with the same soft and airy crochet lace. 

The company was originally founded in Holland and designs bras specifically for smaller bust line (A, B & C cups).  

Of course, the Timpa Duet collection comes in a variety of eye-catching colors which we change throughout the year.  Some of our favorite hues are featured above (Nectarine, Lilac and Pool).  Though we also carry the classic everyday colors of White, Black and Nude. 

Shop the entire Timpa lingerie Duet collection here.

Who says Valentine’s Day is the only day to wear hearts?  Well whomever it was couldn’t be more wrong and it seems as if designer Alexandria McLeod of Three J NYC would happily agree.  With the new arrival to Faire Frou Frou of the classic Eloise short pajama set in red hearts, this set will be a sweet reminder of love.  Made with 100% cotton this set is perfect for those warm summer nights or lazy days spent indoors.  If the pajamas themselves didn’t remind you enough of love the quick story of Three J NYC will.  After spending many years in the fashion industry designing children’s clothes Alexandria finally decided to embark on her own design path and announced her collection of pajamas, Three J, which she named after her three siblings; sister Jamie, and brothers Jeff and John.  They supply Alexandria with much of the inspiration used to create all of her playful pajamas.

Faire Frou Frou is Looking for New Owners! WE are for Sale! (UPDATE: Business Sold in January 2015)


UPDATE:  Faire Frou Frou was successfully sold to new owners in JANUARY 2015!  Gail and Alison have had an amazing decade of running this beautiful business, and wish the new owners many more years of happiness & success! 

We’ve got personality, we’ve got style, and we’ve built one of the most prestigious names in luxury lingerie: Faire Frou Frou (www.fairefroufrou.com).  Our boutique was born a decade ago with the mission to give women a reason to show-off their intimates and discover the beauty of designer brands from around the world.  Ours is one of the most sought-after boutiques for established and emerging designers to be in; both of whom we represent.  

From our early days we have effectively used social media to develop our brand, and thanks to those efforts we have an impressive worldwide following and customer base.  The name Faire Frou Frou is synonymous with luxury intimates, feminine style, and for forecasting lingerie trends and discovering new talent (ranging from the selection within our boutique to the images we share on Pinterest!).  Our jewel-box of a boutique has earned a reputation for its cheerful, friendly atmosphere, as well as outstanding customer service.  

We have accomplished so much and fulfilled dreams beyond our expectations with Faire Frou Frou.  The fun of the buying trips (hello, Paris, London & NYC!), being surrounded by the eye-candy that is our inventory and the inspiration that arrives with each day of business has fueled our vision for ten years.   Faire Frou Frou has been good to us, and now we’re ready for it to be good to you!

It’s best to go out with a bang, and that’s precisely what we’re doing!  We are looking for a vibrant, creative and stylish new owner(s) to whom we can pass our sparkling bright torch.  We are looking for someone who understands the value of the brand we have created, and who has the vision and financial resources to expand upon our dream &/or take in a new direction (new website, new or more locations, a lingerie label, the sky’s the limit!).  

The new owner is not limited to retaining our current Studio City location; anywhere in the USA is a possibility.  We are happy to work with the new owner(s) in any capacity to make certain that a smooth transition takes place.

We invite you to contact us to discuss your interest in owning the brightest name in lingerie: Faire Frou Frou!  Please email inquiries to us at fairefroufrousales@gmail.com.  We are excited to hear from you!

With Love,
Alison & Gail (Daughter & Mother)
