Celebrity Boudoir: Kimora Lee Simmons
If you are addicted to the show Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane (like I am), you will know two things…that she has an amazing boudoir in her New Jersey home (ok, it’s a closet, but honestly, it’s probably the size of my living room and it even has a bathroom in it) -and- she embodies all things fabulous. She even has her own word, “Fabulosity”. It doesn’t really get much more fabulous than leopard print carpet, right? Probably not my personal choice, but that’s what I love about Kimora; she’s not afraid to be over-the-top. But even better is that, in addition to her love for fashion and material…
Jeremiah Goodman
Ever thought of decorating the walls of your boudoir with paintings of a room that belongs to someone else? I absolutely adore these paintings by Jeremiah Goodman (often known by his first name alone). They are beautiful interior “portraits” that blend a beautifully designed room with a magical touch that leaves you feeling as though you’re in a boudoir wonderland. Every time I look at them, I get a warm feeling. The rooms look so cozy and warm, without diminishing their regal appeal. Here are some examples of Jeremiah’s work featured on Dean Rhys Morgan. 0

Sunday’s Best: Bumpkin on a Swing
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…
Marilyn Merlot
No, I did not misspell “Monroe”. Marilyn Merlot is just as it sounds…a nice blend of Marilyn Monroe and Merlot wine. One evening in 1983 over dinner and a bottle of Merlot, a small group of friends who dabbled in homemade wines, dreamed up Marilyn Merlot. In 1985, they started Marilyn Wines and gave birth to the official “legendary” wine collection…Marilyn Merlot. A moderately priced collectible wine with the breathtaking Marilyn Monroe on the label. Each year on June 1st, in honor of Marilyn’s birthday, a new bottle is released. A few days ago, a bottle of 2008 Marilyn Merlot was released. This is the image that graces the front…
