My Little Boudoir

I interrupt the regular Sunday’s Best series, to share some very sad news…..

While I was visiting some of my favorite blogs from my blogroll yesterday morning, I naturally stopped by Bumpkin On A Swing to see what Lisa was writing about. I was shocked to see a guest post titled, “In Loving Memory“, telling of Lisa’s recent passing.

Even though I don’t personally know Lisa, I sat at my computer and cried. I then cried again when I read Trish’s post at Pink Preppy Lilly Lover (Trish was Lisa’s bestie). In three short weeks a very aggressive form of ovarian cancer took over Lisa’s body, and she passed away. She was only 40. It is truly heartbreaking.

If you’ve read Lisa’s blog, Bumpkin on a Swing, you will gather that she was a happy-go-lucky gal who, while having a taste for the finer things in life, was very down-to-earth and had a heart of gold. This is evident in her many posts about animal rescue and the Gulf Coast oil clean-up.

Lisa always showed a lot of support for My Little Boudoir, by leaving nice comments and kind feedback, for which I am greatful. She was very thankful for the Sunday’s Best post that I wrote about Bumpkin on a Swing. It featured her a post from her “Wordless Wednesday” series on the topic of Chanel. Therefore, I dedicate this upcoming week of Chanel themed posts on My Little Boudoir to Lisa, our Angel On A Swing.

Early on in my blogging I came upon a blog called House of Turquoise. The site features picture after picture of turquoise (and other shades of blue) infused designs.

Judging by all of my Tiffany & Co. related posts and the header of MyLittleBoudoir.com, you are probably well aware that I am quite fond of the color turquoise. So, as you can imagine, House of Turquoise was a treasure of a blog to find.

One afternoon, to my surprise, Erin (the creator of House of Turquoise) left a comment on my Summer at Tiffany post. I have to tell you, this was a big deal to me. It was very exciting to be recognized by a big name blog.

With all of that being said, it is about time that I feature this lovely blog in my Sunday’s Best series. Trust me when I say that it will never disappoint. Please take the time to go back through the archives; there are thousands of photos that are so inspiring and beautiful.

Here is a sampling of what you’ll find during your visit to HouseOfTurquoise.com:

As you know, Sunday’s Best is where I highlight a blog or blog post that I enjoy. Today, I am pleased to share one of my favorite posts from Bumpkin on a Swing. This post is from her Wordless Wednesday – Legends Series, and it features all things Chanel!

°°°

Wordless Wednesday is just as it sound. Pictures without words. This is only because the pictures themselves are (as they say) worth 1,000 words. At Bumpkin on a Swing, it is not only the “wordless” part that you have to look forward to, it is her charming and witty writing that draws you in and makes you feel like you’ve known her for years, regardless of the topic. Here is a sneak peek of the Wordless Wednesday Chanel post….to the see the rest you must visit Bumpkin on a Swing. Don’t stop there though…while you’re visiting, check out some of her other posts too…

Each sunday I try to showcase a blog or blogpost that I enjoy. This morning while searching online for where to find Carrie and Big’s headboard from SATC2, I stumbled upon a lovely new blog called Hello Lover…of All Things Beautiful.

I was planning a nice post for all of you about Carrie and Big’s new apartment in SATC2. However, after finding the posts on Hello Lover…of All Things Beautiful, I am not even going to attempt it, because she has done an outstanding job. She even tells you where you can find the design looks for your own home! So, with that being said, I suggest you head on over to Hello Lover…of All Things Beautiful to see it for yourself. Here are the links to the two amazing SATC2 posts, but you should stay for more. She has impeccable taste that is sure to entertain you for hours.

Hello Carrie’s Closet (click here)

Hello Sex and the City 2 (click here)

Here are some teasers if you’re not yet convinced…

Yes, I know, I know…it is Monday. Please forgive me for not posting “Sunday’s Best” on Sunday. I had a very busy day yesterday. I took my great-great-Aunt out for lunch and spent the afternoon with my best friend at her beautiful new home.

Now, on to the exciting stuff…

In honor of the big event that is coming this Thursday (that is giving women across the globe the feeling that a child gets on Christmas Eve night), I would like to share a must-see website with you. It is the blog for all things Sex and the City, particularly relating to the upcoming movie, Sex and the City 2.

Don’t worry, I won’t spoil anything for you on My Little Boudoir, but those of you who want to see more pictures of the upcoming movie scenes, interviews with the cast and more, you should definitely visit sexandthecitymovie.org (click here). Trust me, it’s the perfect remedy to cure your Carrie Fever or get Carried Away until Thursday!

If you’re following the posts on My Little Boudoir you will know two things; that I have started a weekly series called “Sunday’s Best” where I showcase a favorite blogpost or series from another blog -and- that I have a fondness of a blog called Lily Lemontree.

Instead of sharing one single post from her blog, today I am going to share a series. The series is called “Look of the Week“. The looks that she selects are so stylish, usually in neutral colors (like black…one of my favorites) with classic lines. Occasionally she’ll even throw in some casual looks, like Gwen Stefani in her Wellies, for example.

Here are some of the looks that I fancy that have been featured in Lily Lemontree’s weekly series, “Look of the Week”. To see more of the looks, click here. I also recommend following her other posts as well  by visiting www.lilylemontree.blogspot.com.

As part of my Sunday’s Best series (which I’ve been slacking on), I wanted to feature one of my favorite posts from a lovely blog that I follow. The blog is called FrenchBlue. The post is on Fauchon of Paris. What is Fauchon, you ask? Fauchon is a traiteur in Paris. A traiteur is basically a retailer of fine foods, that are mostly ready to eat (a fancy grocery/deli of sorts). Fauchon appears to focus a little more on the sweet side.

Being obsessed with all things french (particularly Parisian), I was delighted to find out about Fauchon. I felt like the whole world knew about this fabulous place, except me. I was immediately smitten by the photos posted on FrenchBlue, and guarantee (now that I know about it) it is on the  must-see list for the next time I visit Paris (and, yes, I do actually keep a list). Let’s see if you are as crazy about this post as I am. You can view more photos by visiting the post on FrenchBlue (which can also be found in My Little Boudoir’s Blogroll).

From here on out, each Sunday, I intend to share with you
a post from one (or maybe a few) of my favorite blogs.

This Sunday, I would like to introduce:

(chinoiseriechic.blogspot.com)

The owner of Chinoiserie Chic is Beth, who also is part of Style Redux (both of which, I highly recommend you visit). I first discovered Chinoiserie Chic back in December. One of the recent posts at the time was My Christmas Decorating – Dressing Room. Even though today we are almost a year away from another Christmas, the post is still appropriate to share, because what you are about to see is her fabulous boudoir (or dressing room as she calls it).
