Winter Garden

ByAmi

It feels like there have been so many auctions of exquisite collections in the last few years. It makes me feel sad to see them be broken up but hopefully the furniture and objects end up going to good homes. Susan Gutfreund sold her Henri Samuel decorated duplex apartment at 843 Fifth Avenue last year and now some of the best pieces from it are for sale at Christie’s. I toured the preview today and it was interesting to see everything out in the open. You can see my photos from Christie’s in my Instagram Stories. Some of the items will be in the live auction and others already have bid in the online auction. I especially loved the green Winter Garden room when I visited the apartment for a party in 2018. I don’t think I’ll be able to afford anything but it’s fun to dream.

Baring It All… In Front of a Camera?

Baring It All… In Front of a Camera?

ByAmi

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:
