Shopping Help: Fall shoes!!

Last night I was online at amazon.com searching for some pretty shoes
to transition from summer to fall into and I’m down to three choices
(all Nine West, and all leather) but I can’t seem to decide which one I want to get.

I need your help!

I like all of them for different reasons but it just wouldn’t be sensible to get all 3.
Let me know which would you choose and why?

1. Nine West Women’s Heathers Peep Toe Oxford patent $44.98

2. Nine West Women’s Omygosh Pump $99.95 lt grey

3. Nine West Women’s Undertoe Peep Toe Slingback $99.95

I promise to post pictures wearing the winner

The Sexiest Lingerie online at Faire Frou Frou

I’ve found the sexiest and cutest underwear… ever! online at Faire Frou Frou you can let your inner Dita Von Teese come to life with many of my favorite lingerie brands like Eres Paris, La Perla and Damaris.

Couldn’t we all use a little dose of sexiness, sometimes?

Remember when we used to try really hard to look hot and sexy for our guy, before we actually got over the “newness” of the relationship, we’d make sure that out tops matched our bottoms, or maybe you would just do it for yourself; sexy underwear makes you feel sexy and confident.

But lately you’ve been feeling kind of stressed with that project at work, that P.T.A. thing or maybe you just feel, um, fat (come on, you know we all get the feeling sometimes). Well whatever the reason for the feeling, kick it to the curb. Because seriously walking around everyday in “granny panties” is not helping situations much either, is it?

Indulge. You’ll look and feel better.
“We’re bringing sexy back”
Is there something special you do to feel sexy? I’d love to hear.

P.S. Don’t get me wrong, just like you I love my husbands Pajamas, they’re comfy, but sometimes we have to call in the reinforcements, the big hitters, you know those jaw dropping undies.

Faire Frou Frou is pronounced ‘fair fru fru’. It is derived from an antiquated French phrase meaning “show it off”.

Facelift

The blog is being redesigned, yet again. Change is always good, when its in the name of fashion. I wanted to create something more navigational, fun and fresh. so I’m learning HTML and doing a lot of stuff – all by myself. So please be patient and come back.

oh, and thanks for stopping by!

Trend Alert: Distressed Denim for Fall

Faded, distressed, ripped, destroyed, and tapered are the new crop of denim pants swinging on the legs of celebrities such as Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Katie Holmes.
Denim is a staple in almost any girls wardrobe;dress them up with some platform gladiators or dress them down with sneakers or ballet flats.

I think this fall we’ll be seeing many classic tailored styles (as was evident from the last fashion weeks shows), but the jeans will remains a staple piece.

Following the popularity of the denim cut off shorts trend going on right now( ie look at Rachel Bilson, Ashley Olsen and Hilary Duffy, plus the loads of fashion bloggers who are not shy to show us their daily wear – shout out to Rumi at Fashiontoast who almost has a denim short fetish bigger than Kate Moss’)

On many occasions I’ve envied her wardrobe, but I wouldn’t be able to pull it off. I must admit that I’ve never felt comfortable in really short shorts, I have really long legs( which where the subject of many childhood scuffles and besides I think they just work to lengthen your legs, which eventually makes me look like a giraffe tumbling over.

I’m already seeing loads of my fellow Parisians rocking faded denim ( can’t wait to get my camera back from Canon, to show you some pictures).

My Trend Forcast says faded jeans just like open toe booties wont be practical for fall/winter, but they’ll be all over the place.

Here are some options that, as usual, wont have you breaking the bank.
Do you think you’ll be falling into the GAP( hehehe) for this denim trend?
