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,

The Pretty Bra That Fits… Claudette

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!
