Theme Park Boudoir (part one)
I work in the travel industry. My position allows me the opportunity to travel quite often. I happen to oversee most of the Disney product that my company sells. This has allowed me some really special opportunities. For example, I attended the grand opening of Cars Land at Disney’s California Adventure Park last summer and most recently the grand opening of the New Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World. Two of the most exciting things I’ve done though, is visit Walt Disney’s apartment and the Dream Suite at Disneyland. First, please allow me apologize for the poor quality of these pictures. I never remember to take a camera with me when…

A Cure for Cotton
In a quest to try to organize my boudoir (I say “quest” because I share the boudoir with my husband and my desk doubles as my vanity…ugh…this is why you’ve yet to see photos of the “boudoir”), I was in need of one place to store all of my cotton. Cotton balls, Q-tips and my Chanel Le Coton, that is. Previously, I had my Q-tips in this little pink glass votive holder (that I picked up at the dollar store or something). I had my cotton balls in this green faux alligator skin container. And, my Le Coton was in it’s original packaging. Then, one day on a shopping trip to…

The Carrie Diaries
Ladies…are you ready? Ready for what, you ask? Tonight is the premiere of the new show The Carrie Diaries. It is the prequel to Sex and the CIty and is based on Candace Bushnell’s book, The Carrie Diaries, which was released in 2010. The show appears to revolve around Carrie Bradshaw, pre-NYC and pre-Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha. Carrie’s father then offers her the opportunity of an internship in New Your City…and that is when the fun begins. The first episode premieres tonight at 8/7c. on the CW (check your local listings). Here is a trailer for your viewing pleasure. After you watch tonight, please visit this post and leave a comment…

Give-Away: Mermaid Talcum Powder & Jordi Labanda Notebook
I know it’s been a while since I’ve done a give-away on My Little Boudoir, so let’s get this party started! This Friday (January 18th) I will be selecting one boudoir beauty to win both of these ladylike gifts to use in their boudoir. The lucky winner could be you! Gift #1 – Vintage inspired Mermaid Talcum Powder. The fragrance smells like baby powder with a hint of Chanel N°5. The powder is in the bottom of the tin, wrapped in paper, and the puff sits on top. Gift #2 – Jordi Labanda spiral notebook. This notebook is about 3/4″ thick and has lined paper inside. I love Jordi Labana…

Chanel Trolley…the San Francisco Treat
A few nights ago, after a hard day at work, I decompressed by visiting some of my favorite blogs. Whilst doing so, I came across a post that is a goodie and must be shared. The blog is called La Chanelphile. Yep, that’s right, the blog is about all things Chanel. If you’ve followed My Little Boudoir very long, you will know that I, too, love all things Chanel. I also have an “All Things Chanel” board on Pinterest. Ok…ok…you get the point. So, here it is…a real San Francisco treat…a Chanel trolley, complete with tweed upholstery and a Chanel N5 exhibit. Here is the glorious trolley. To see the…

Marilyn Monroe on Chanel N°5
Chanel recently acquired the rights to some never-before-published audio of Marilyn Monroe talking about Chanel N°5 fragrance. I’m sure all of you Marilyn fans know that Marilyn famously shared that the only thing she wears to bed is Chanel N°5. Many of the actual publications where she professed this information, making the perfume as legendary as she, were never published. You really MUST watch this video… If not, here is the story told in stills from the video on Chanel.com. I notice her voice often sounds different in audio/video of interviews as opposed to her films. I’m guessing this is because, in her films, she often portrayed the “dumb blonde” roll. She…

Chanel Inspired Sofa
Look what I found, ladies…a Chanel inspired sofa! Wish this was around when I did the Chanel Inspired Boudoir post (although I guess this would be more appropriate for a living room). This beautiful sofa (reminiscent of the Chanel 2.55 handbag with quilted leather) is from The New Traditionalists. It also comes in other colors, like blue, red and linen, but black looks most like “classic” Chanel, so it’s my favorite. 0
