New York…New York
As I stated on the post Couture Cotton, I am preparing for a trip to New York. One of my favorite cities in the world. I am actually traveling for business (for my real job), but I will be staying over the weekend to visit some places that are on my “list of places to visit” (yes, I do keep a list). I will also be visiting some family. I am looking to all of you boudoir beauties that may live in the NYC area that could direct me to any other boutiques, museums, restaurants or the like, that would be worth visiting in the short amount of time that…
Tiffany & Co. Handbags!
The beginning of this month marked a very special occasion. Tiffany & Co. launched their line of handbags! It is called “The Tiffany Leather Collection” and they range in price from $595… …to $17,800… …with many in between… These fine handbags, totes and clutches can be purchased online at Tiffany.com or in select Tiffany & Co. stores. 1
Couture Cotton
Many of us dream of experiencing the luxury of Chanel couture, however the fact is, it is economically unattainable for most. So, for many women lounging in their boudoirs gazing starry eyed at their September issue of Vogue magazine, this dream will never come to fruition. However, there are may ways that the average woman can still experience that heart palpitating moment of walking into a fine boutique and coming out with a shopping bag; even on a budget. What I am about to share with you won’t set you back any more than a half tank of gasoline. You see the name of this post, do you not? You…
Mademoiselle Monday: Mlle Kwan
“I don’t have that [need] to prove myself. I have a passion to do good roles but luckily I don’t have to do it for economic reasons. I’m not a big spender and I don’t need a lot of frills.” -Nancy Kwan “It’s not that I don’t like reading about myself. But I get unhappy with the kind of things that are written about me. For instance, after Suzie Wong…, I was being written up as a kind of sex kitten. I’m not really at all like that.” -Nancy Kwan 0
Chanel Inspired Boudoir
If there are two things I know about the readers of My Little Boudoir…it is that you adore both a ladies boudoir and all things Chanel. This post is all about the blending of the two. This has been a long time in the making, because I knew there could be nothing less than the best if we’re talking Chanel. In these design ideas you will find that I infused inspirations from Chanel designs, Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel (her personal life and style), as well as elements from her private apartment. So, without further adieu, I present you with the elements of a Chanel inspired boudoir. Enjoy! 1. WALLS Chanel’s iconic…
Win a Trip to Paris!
For some reason lately I have been majorly obsessed with going on holiday to Paris. I’ve been twice before, but about ten years have passed since my last trip (that was the trip when I was first introduced to Sephora). Learning that a visit to Coco Chanel’s apartment was within reach is what really sent me over the edge. Unfortunately my camera was a piece’o’junk on my last trip, or otherwise I would jump on an opportunity that I received an email about this afternoon. As you can see in this email, Air Tahiti Nui is running a contest to win a trip to Paris. To learn more and enter,…
“Chanail”
I must admit, I’ve never been one to wear flamboyant designs on my fingernails. The most risky I get is a French manicure and, why, that’s not risky at all now, is it? I am, however, captivated by these creative “Chanel” manicure looks that I found at Lacquer Boudoir; a blog about nail art. I particularly fancy the one inspired by the 2.55 Chanel handbag. This look is darling, too… Who knows, perhaps I may just venture beyond my go-to french manicure and taupe and opt for one of these fun designs one day. If you’re a boudoir beauty who is all about nails, you must visit LacquerBoudoir.blogspot.com. She has so many…

Spending Chanel on Chanel
Perhaps I’ve been hiding under a rock for the past two years, but a few months ago I found out about these stunning Chanel coins. Now I’m no numismatic, but I sure would like to be the proud owner of one of these beauties. They were made in both gold and silver, and no, I don’t mean in color, I mean the real deal. While they appear to be a €5 coin, they actually sold for a lot more because they are made of gold and silver. There were 99 gold coins produced, which sold for €5,900 (so you could potentially spend one of these €5 coins in Chanel boutique)…
