Baring It All… In Front of a Camera?

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:

Day’s wrap: Gucci, McLaren, Hugo Boss, Christie’s and luxury real estate

Luxury Daily’s live news: Gucci joins Alibaba’s Tmall Luxury Pavilion; McLaren collaborates with Pendry Residences for ‘Super Garage’; Hugo Boss collaborates with the NBA on limited-edition capsule collection; Digital luxury auctions proved successful in 2020: Christie’s; Luxury Daily debuts new conference focused on luxury real estate.

Notorious Collared Necklace Styled Two Ways

If you’re looking for a way to honor Ruth Bader Ginsburg and look good while doing it, I highly recommend the Banana Republic Notorious Collar Necklace. Banana Republic has reissued the iconic collar necklace and will be donating 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the Notorious Necklace to the International Center for Research on Women (up to $500,000) through December 31, 2020 to support of women’s equality worldwide.

I’ve styled the necklace two ways, one for Christmas and one for New Year’s but you could even wear it for a Zoom call with sweatpants on the bottom.

The Notorious Necklace styled for Christmas.

The Notorious Necklace adds pizzazz to any outfit but the best part is that it benefits the International Center for Research on Women.

I like this lighter Silk Cashmere Relaxed Sweater with the pleated skirt since it’s a little dressier. It also comes in five other colors.

I have the green Satin Pleated Midi Skirt (it looks teal in the above photo but it’s really green) but I also love the red for Christmas. It’s also available in black and gold too.

I have no desire to wear heels so I’ll wear the Satin Pointy-Toe Flat with Crystal Buckle which are also available in black suede but these Madison 12-Hour Suede Pump with Crystal Buckle are a chic option if you want a little height.

Don’t forget to coordinate your mask to your outfit. You can share this Pack of Five Masks with your friends and family.

The Notorious Necklace styled for New Year’s Eve at home.

The Notorious Necklace can really be worn with any outfit.

I love the simplicity of this Bias-Cut Satin Slip Dress for New Year’s Eve at home and it comes in three other colors. But if you want a little more sparkle, there is also the Sequin Bias-Cut Slip Dress.

If you live in a colder climate, I’d throw this Birdseye Duster Coatigan over the dress. It’s also available in five other colors.

These fun Pointy-Toe Indoor Slipper are the perfect shoe for New Year’s Eve at home. They are available in two other prints. Or wear the Madison 12-Hour Suede Pump with Crystal Buckle for a fancier look.

The finishing touches to my outfit are my vintage Cartier Tank Watch which was an early Christmas present to myself, chic dark aptly titled Single Ladies nail polish from Deborah Lippmann, and Le Prunier Plum Beauty Oil.

Happy Holidays!

XOXO,

HC
