Get Into the Swing of Summer!

It's finally feeling like summer in the Bay Area! I don't know about you, but I've spent my weekends lounging out in the park, coating my shoulders in sunshine and downing champagne and oysters with friends. Even though I've been donning my favorite summer dresses for quite some time now (albeit with leggings because of this year's extended winter chill), it's now official: It's finally time to break out our prettiest pieces, and lingerie is no exception! Lucky for us, new uber-feminine summer collections from Lejaby and Aubade have arrived in store and they're suitably summery. Take a peek!

Aubade's Fleurs de Pommiers collection in Scarlet

When I hear the name "Aubade", I immediately think of balconnet bras. Aubade has spent decades perfected the sexy picture frame cut which has been even further beautified by the brand's Fleurs de Pommier collection. Fleurs de Pommier features a lovely embroidered net whose floral motifs are truly eye popping. The Balconnet begs to have its butterfly detail straps peek out from under a sexy black tank - it's the perfect piece for warm summer nights. The Fleurs de Pommier Balconnet and Tanga (pictured) are $99 and $69 respectively. We also have the matching Boyshort in stock as well ($99).

Lejaby's Serenity collection in Blue

Lejaby's Serenity collection is a totally different take on summer - it's pretty, crisp, and well, serene! Serenity is not only gorgeous, but eco-friendly! The collection is made of 93% organically grown cotton, so it's fashion you can feel good about. The molded demi is a sexy yet versatile cut whose floral embroidery whispers of flower-filled fields and jaunts down the boardwalk. The Demi and Tanga (pictured) are $95 and $45 respectively. We also have the Briefs in stock ($49).

No matter what your style we have something in store to suit your summer taste. Come on by for a fitting - we'll have you sunning yourself in style in no time!

Big or Small, We've Got It All

Just as certain cuts of a similar dress will look vastly different on two separate body types, certain styles of underpinnings will cater differently to two varying shapes. We've fitted just about every body shape there is, so we know firsthand that a bra designed for an A cup will not do wonders for someone who has an E cup. The same logic applies in reverse as well.

There is no such thing as an unusual size in our neck of the woods, so just because you're a chesty or need an additional boost, it doesn't mean you're relegated to tee shirt bras or have to settle for something that pinches, puckers or bunches. Come take a look at what's in store - some of our favorite brands have ushered in some lovely spring collections. We're sure you won't be disappointed!

Prima Donna Twist White Night Balconnet (Mistral Blue), $117

Twist is Prima Donna's diffusion line. It has all the support and construction of a traditional Prima Donna bra at a lower cost. Twist's colors and cuts are youthful, flirtatious and fun, as evidenced by their newest addition to our store, the White Night collection. The beautiful balconnet cut is perky and uplifting and the microfiber cups are smooth and soft. The beautiful embroidery adds a touch of decadence to a bra that is sure to be your uber-supportive everyday go-to.

Prima Donna Twist White Night Thong (Mistral Blue), $44

The White Night collection also features a coordinating thong and boxer. Both feature the bra's lovely embroidery and make a gorgeous eye-catching set.


Little Bra Company Mercedes Padded Bra & Thong (Blush), $87 & $29

For those among you who want a little extra boost, there's The Little Bra Company. Their motto "Good things DO come in small packages!" is spot on. Every bra they make has been a massive hit with our more petite clientele, and it's no wonder. A LBC bra is specifically designed for girls who need a little oomph and no other aspect (not construction, style or durability) is sacrificed. Their newest collection, the Mercedes, is a perfect springtime addition to our store.

Little Bra Company Mercedes Thong (Blush), $29

The Mercedes bra features padded seamed cups and a stretch lace that's silky soft. The coordinating thong has a sweet corset detail on the back - a reminder that the little things really do matter!

Long story short, chers amis, big or small, we've got it all! Come visit us and bring some brights to your underwear wardrobe!

Nina Ricci is Blooming at A La Folie!

Sure, spring doesn't officially start until March 20th, but at A La Folie, it has definitely sprung. We're surrounded by peachy pinks, soft blues and ivories - colors that both banish the winter chill and usher in the blossoming of a new season.

Nina Ricci Lettre d'Amour Padded Balconnet (Rose), $214

How fitting, then, that a new season should bring a designer who's been at long last introduced back into the A La Folie fold, Nina Ricci! The brand has long been synonymous with elegant femininity, measured flirtation and a timelessness that's hard to duplicate. The Lettre d'Amour collection is the brand's love letter to lingerie, and it's easy to see why!

Nina Ricci Lettre d'Amour Demi & Thong (Blue), $212 & $130

Carefully crafted in a delicate crepe-like fabric and printed with the sweetest of floral patterns, Lettre d'Amour is a collection that simply screams spring! A sweet net scallop trim adds a knowing sassiness, and the silhouette is simple and clean. The collection features a padded balconnet and soft cup demi, as well as a thong, boxer and uber-sweet camisole that not only works for the bedroom, but paired with jeans for a night on the town as well.

Nina Ricci Lettre d'Amour Cami, $306

Come profess your love to lingerie (and to spring) by giving the Lettre d'Amour collection a whirl. We know you'll be glad you did!
