Breakfast at Tiffany’s Inspired Decor
Judging by the fact that the Tiffany & Co. Inspired Boudoir post was the most viewed post on My Little Boudoir in all of 2010, I thought you ladies might enjoy a Breakfast at Tiffany’s Inspired post. This time though, I am including decor beyond the boudoir. We all know that the main attraction of Holly Golightly’s apartment was the claw foot bathtub sofa in her living room. Here is Holly on her tub sofa, complete with brass telephone faucet and all. Through a company called Reestore, you too, can lean back and take a nice long bath rest in your living room. Don’t worry that the colors aren’t exact.…
Mademoiselle Monday: Mlle Garland
“It’s lonely and cold on the top… lonely and cold.” -Judy Garland “For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.” -Judy Garland “I try to bring the audience’s own drama – tears and laughter they know about – to them.” -Judy Garland ” We cast away priceless time in dreams, born of imagination, fed upon illusion, and put to death by reality.” -Judy Garland “For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.” -Judy Garland ” If I’m such a legend,…
Mrs. Coretta Scott King
Since today is Martin Luther King Day, I thought it would be appropriate to step away from the usual Mademoiselle Monday post to feature, instead, a post on Mrs. Coretta Scott King. Certainly we could have devoted a “Mademoiselle Monday” to her, but since we all know that part of the greatness of her legacy was her union with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., perhaps “Madame Monday” would have been more appropriate. Yes, I know, today is technically his day, but as we all know, behind every good man is a good woman. When I think about Mrs. King, I think about about how brave she was. I have to…
Boudoir on a Budget: Seating
Yes, it is easy to dream about what your boudoir would look like if you could furnish it with the most luxurious of goods. That is, if price weren’t an object, which for the majority (including myself) is a dream in itself. But what about when money is a factor and you are on a budget? Clearly there is a vast gray area between luxury and budget, but today I thought I’d focus on decorating your boudoir on a budget. This will actually be a three a series of posts, because I found so many fabulous boudoir items to share with you. All furniture items are under $500 a piece.…
Mademoiselle Monday: Mlle Caron
“No matter what you do, your person comes through. You can’t completely change yourself on the screen. I had in mind someone colder and more in control, but I couldn’t do it. This human note just crept in and maybe it’s better.” -Leslie Caron “I regret not doing a film that I was offered with Clark Gable because the script was not good enough.” -Leslie Caron “I longed to break out of the system and do different roles.” -Leslie Caron “The American is wholeheartedly for love and romance at any cost.” -Leslie Caron 0
Reality Boudoir
I will admit it (not sure if I should), but I am a fan of the Real Housewives series on Bravo. However, I only (yes, only) watch New York, New Jersey and Atlanta seasons. I’ve seen bits and pieces of the Beverly Hills season, but I never really got into it. Now I’m wondering if I should… I recently came across this photo of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Vanderpump on one of the blogs that I follow (Daisy Pink Cupcake). When I saw this image, you know I had to search for more of where that came from. I ultimately landed on the real estate listing by…

Box of Guerlain Fragrance for the Boudoir
While searching BergdorfGoodman.com tonight, looking for this (which we’ll talk about on another occasion): I came across this: This beauty is called The 180 year Collectors Case, by Guerlain. This ultra deluxe black leather box with a gold lock and key is filled with 180 years of Guerlain fragrance, from Eau de Cologne Imperiale (created in 1853 for Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III) to Cruel Gardenia (created in 2008). Each of the 18 iconic one ounce bottles feature an Art-Deco inspired label. With three graduated rows, it is designed perfectly for display when the box is open. This “vision of elegance” (as Bergdorf’s refers to it), is a true…

Mademoiselle Monday: Mlle Bacall
“A woman isn’t complete without a man. But where do you find a man – a real man – these days?” -Lauren Bacall “I am essentially a loner.” -Lauren Bacall “It’s inappropriate and vulgar and absolutely unacceptable to use your private life to sell anything commercially, but I think it’s kind of a sickness.” -Lauren Bacall “I figure if I have my health, can pay the rent and I have my friends, I call it ‘content.’” -Lauren Bacall “I used to tremble from nerves so badly that the only way I could hold my head steady was to lower my chin practically to my chest and look up at Bogie.…
