Frederick's of Hollywood Blog

‘Tis the season for countdowns and wrap-ups, and we thought we’d get in the game with a round up of 2012′s favorite moments, best-sellers and all-around awesomeness.

From the dress that took Vegas by storm to a style so popular we could barely keep it in stock, read on to find out what rocked our year and yours!

Number 12 on our countdown list are the best-selling items from Valentine’s Day (which are still available!). It should come as no surprise that the Parisian Corset, pictured at left, would be the number one pick. Lacy, curvy and oh-so chic, it works just as well out of the bedroom as in! On the right, our Banded Blouson Temptress Dress stuns in signature Frederick’s Red. One look at this and well, he simply didn’t have a chance!

Brace yourself, because #11 on our list is an incredible best-seller! Your hands down favorite, and if we’re being honest–ours too is the Bridget Stretch Cotton Thong. In a stunning array of colors and crafted from comfy cotton and lace, we sold 300,000 of these fancy little panties! Don’t have one in every color yet? Well, our Semi-Annual Sale is happening now, and they’re only 8 for $20. We think it’s time to stock up!

Next up: The Best-Selling Bra of the Year award goes to not one, but two of our most popular styles! On the left, our Hollywood Corset Full-Figure Bra sold well over 100, 000 units! Impressive, but the gorgeous style to the right, our Hollywood Flirt Push-Up? It sold more than 150,000! The most exciting part? These bras are on sale right now, from $14.99! ‘Scuse us, we’ve got some shopping to do…

Number 9 and one of our most-loved things: the sexiest black lingerie of summer! These two standout pieces sold out, stole hearts and had us all swooning. From left to right, our Fringe & Feather Babydoll and our ever-stunning Crisscross Lace Chemise. Classic, alluring and timeless, these pieces bring the luxury after dark!

Coming in at number 8: the most versatile bra of summer (and beyond!). For 2012, we introduced a bra that revolutionized your wardrobe. The Hollywood Exxtreme Cleavage Bra gives you the cleavage & lift you desire with the incredible option to wear it with all your deep plunge, halter neck or T-back styles. Perfection!

Dare to bare in our lucky number 7 pick! Known around the blogosphere as “the dress that rocked Vegas”, this little frock has been making a scene since summer. Available in the matte wrap-around version or the sparkling style you see to the right, this dress causes heads to turn and hearts to flutter!

And with that, we’re done with the first part of our top 12 of 2012 list. Stay tuned and check back Monday for the rest of the countdown and our number 1 choice!

Holiday shopping is coming down to the wire, and if our office is anything to go by, some of you haven’t started shopping for gifts yet or even know what you’re looking for. Want to watch her unwrap the gift of her dreams? Follow our suggestions to find the perfect present for the woman in your life and have it arrive on time. Win-win!

Is she the kind of girl who seems to have it all? No problem! Simply wrap her in a gift of cozy indulgence and she’ll thank you again and again! Plush perfection not her style? Find our elegant cashmere robe here and the silkiest, lounge-worthy version here.

In theory the lingerie lover would be easy to shop for, but sometimes the choices can be overwhelming. Look for classic styles with a twist or sweet sets, like the one above, to make her swoon. Bold cutouts work too! Our personal favorite? A body-baring teddy.

Your glamour girl lives for lush textures, lavish details and pieces that show off her personal style. Give her a curve-hugging corset–it’s the gift that she’ll find absolutely captivating!  Watch her light up over our  lingerie, especially this exquisite pick!

Find the full version of our Men’s Gift Guide at frederick’s.com and to ensure your gift arrives in time, be sure to order by noon tomorrow. We’re offering a free 2 day shipping upgrade plus, 25% off the site ends tomorrow night!

It’s the time of year when gift guides begin to appear on every site, each touting themselves as the best, most affordable, holiday-worthy list around. While it’s true that too many people to buy for can seriously put a dent in your budget, some of those lists are still a little out of our range. We’ll apologize in advance to our nearest and dearest, but there is no way a pair of $895 Valentino heels will be under the tree this year–even though a certain fashion website called them a steal!

With those (unrealistic) guides in mind, Frederick’s created a special Gifts of Glamour shop, where nothing is over $20. From iPad cases to nail polishes, we’ve got your gifting covered. Here are some of our favorites, plus a very special gift with purchase offer at the bottom, just for you!
