Visiting Coco
Hi, my name is Sarah and I’m a magazineaholic… (You say: “Hi, Sarah”) Yes, it’s true. I am addicted to magazines. Not cigarettes. Not alcohol. Not lattes. Magazines. I spend quite a lot of time in my boudoir thumbing through various fashion, decor and gossip magazines. Even when I venture outside of my boudoir, I like to take in a good magazine. I have to admit, when I’m at a doctor’s office with good magazines, I sit in the waiting room hoping that they’re late to call me into the room so that I can enjoy all of them. I even get a little annoyed by cheap doctors who only…
Mademoiselle Monday: Mlle Chanel
“Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress.” -Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” -Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel “A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.” -Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel “Don’t spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.” -Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel “How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.” -Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel “Success is often achieved by those who don’t know that failure is inevitable.” -Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel…
Sunday Mourning: Bumpkin on a Swing
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.…
Bump My Bouffant (…but wait…there’s more!)
Sex Kitten Bump. Beehive. Hair Bump. Bouffant. Bitch Bump. No matter what you call it, we’ll settle in the middle on “bump” for the purposes of this post. You’ve seen the infomercial for Bumpits. Promising to add instant hair volume, leaving you with the perfect “bump”. When I first saw the advertisement, I wanted them, but I wasn’t willing to pay the $20 + shipping for something that might not work. Then, the commercial became a household joke, because some of the “bumps” are so over-the-top that they look ridiculous. So, I never did fall for the “…and that’s not all” pitch. Long before a Bumpits commercial and the debut…
Sunday’s Best: House of Turquoise
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…
Celebrity Boudoir: Christina Aguilera
This month’s celebrity boudoir belongs to Christina Aguilera. You may have already seen the photos that I am about to share with you, because most of them were featured in In Style magazine and have been shared on many ‘o blogs. When you see how fabulous her boudoir is though, you’ll know why I couldn’t resist posting them. I believe she has since purchased a new home, but these photos were taken in the home that she purchased from Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne (the one they lived in during their reality show, The Osbourne’s). Her decor is a bit eclectic, and features many design styles (Chinoiserie, Moroccan, Hollywood Regency, Paris…
Mademoiselle Monday: Mlle Grier

Bargain Busting Boudoir
This past spring, my daughter officially became a “tween” (this is the term they use now when one is in between being a young child and a teen). This meant that her boudoir was in need of two things: a bigger desk and a bedroom vanity. Since I’m sure she’ll want to upgrade to the “teen” look in her bedroom soon, I didn’t want to spend the money on a new desk or vanity. Ok, let me be honest…she already wants to do away with the pastels and go for a more mature look in her bedroom, but I am desperately trying to hold on to the “little girl” decor…
Mademoiselle Monday: Mlle Gabor
“A man in love is incomplete until he has married. Then he’s finished.” – Zsa Zsa Gabor “I call everyone ‘Darling’ because I can’t remember their names.” – Zsa Zsa Gabor “I never hated a man enough to give him diamonds back.” – Zsa Zsa Gabor “I want a man who’s kind and understanding. Is that too much to ask of a millionaire? ” – Zsa Zsa Gabor 0
