Faire Frou Frou

I never really liked those cheapy lingerie stores on Hollywood boulevard.

The plastic platform shoes and mesh pantyhose are just too trashy for my French standards. If I’m going to indulge in lingerie beyond Victoria’s Secret, it better be damn good.

And then one day I wondered into Faire Frou Frou.

In French, Faire Frou Frou means “to show off”. Within the store, you’ll find white wood armoires, chandeliers, and faded checkerboard paint. Attendants with measuring tape are eager to help you at your every turn, it’s like Hollywood lingerie heaven. You’ll love their Faire Frou Frou burlesque collection ($375), which looks like the loungewear of a Madam in a Parisian bordel.

You’ll also find petticoat panties by Honeydew ($20) and lace bras by Elle Macpherson ($60). On the pricer side, the Fifi Chachnil ($357) was my personal corset favorite. Other brands include Fleur of England, Huit, Cosabella, and What Katie Did (Ohh, j’adoooore).

Sexy Christmas Wish list

I’m sorry…but I just had to compile a Christmas wish list.

Not that it matters…I’ll be celebrating a rather humble holiday season with family in rainy Los Angeles (last night we put up our fake tree), but it’s nice to dream about our fantasy Christmas. The one that we might one day have, once we’ve married a super sexy Super Bowl champion quarterback named Tom. Okay, that probably won’t happen, but we can still indulge in a fabulous Christmas dream. Take notes, gentlemen.

Champagne Henriot 1995 Cuvée Des Enchanteleurs I don’t think a true Christmas would be complete without a delicious bottle of holiday Champagne. This deliciously bubbly splurge is accented with notes with honey, almond and hazelnut. Mmmm, crisp and bubbly, yummy.

La Maison Slip from La Perla Every girl dreams of wearing Italian luxury lingerie brand La Perla to bed. A short babydoll silk nightgown is my personal choice, but for Christmas I be happy with as little as I can get.

ROUGE VOLUPTÉ Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick SPF 15 Ever since I spotted this lipstick at Sephora I’ve been hoping some kind hearted individual would get it for Christmas. Christmas deserves beautiful red lips, and these hues are so radiant, rich and creamy.

Chloé ‘Specialty’ Holiday Set Am I the only one willing to admit that Chanel number 5 smells like my grandmother? Yes, upon my death I will probably have to repent to the gods of elegance for that statement, but the truth is I find it hard for a man to find that scent sexy. He would fall in love with Chloé Eau de Parfum. Compound those feminine, floral fragrances with the matching lotion to make Chloé last all night.
