Barbie Style
If you liked the Living Like Barbie post, you’re sure to love the new Barbie Plastic Collection. This collection features some luxurious home furnishings and fashion. Never mind the hypnotizing circle in the background, what you need to zone in on is that darling chair right in the center. Suitable for lady and little girl boudoirs alike, this rendition of Philippe Starck’s Louis Ghost Chair is so charming. It combines the sleek glamorous design of the traditional Louis Ghost Chair, but ads some whimsy with the Barbie profile sketch and subtly speaks to the feminine in all of us with the color pink. I think this would be such a…

Yes, if you’re shrieking over the title of this post, go ahead and shriek again because it’s true. I really do have a copy of the newly released paperback version of one of my very favorite books, Summer at Tiffany, signed by the author, the lovely Marjorie Hart to give away to one lucky follower of My Little Boudoir. In case you missed it, I did a post back on January 10th about Summer at Tiffany. It is such a charming book. It’s difficult to find the hardback version in book stores, but the paperback version was just released at the beginning of April. That means, for any of you…
Thinking Outside the Boudoir: Breakfast at Tiffany’s
If you haven’t already noticed, the theme at My Little Boudoir recently is Tiffany & Co. So, what would be more appropriate than to feature Holly Golightly’s apartment in Breakfast at Tiffany’s for the monthly series called Thinking Outside the Boudoir. This is where I share my fascination of homes from the movies. While some may not be practical for everyday life, or represent my overall ideal decor, I would love to spend some time in them, even just for a night. In some it is the decor that I fancy. In others it’s the architecture or floor plan. And in some I think it’s my fondness for the characters.…
Tiffany & Co. Inspired Boudoir
In my current boudoir, which I share with my husband, I often daydream about what my very own little boudoir would be decorated like. What if you had a boudoir that was inspired by something you adore? Since the topic of my recent posts have been Tiffany & Co., let’s take a look at how to create a Tiffany & Co. inspired boudoir. 1. FURNITURE Tiffany blue (or white to contrast, if you’re using a Tiffany blue wall color) headboard, trimmed in faux diamond upholstery tacks by Diamond Head. I L.O.V.E. IT!! As you can see, it is inspired by the famous “Tiffany blue”, the white ribbon and, of course,…
Have your cake and eat it blue…
The “LBB”, little blue box, cousin to the “LBD”, little black dress (that was made so popular by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s), is recognized by women across the globe as the home of all things fine and sparkly. If a celebration calls for a little blue box, whether it’s a birthday, wedding, or the like, there is no reason not to take the celebration one step further and have your cake and eat it blue. Here are some LBB’s that will have you drooling in more than one way… 0
Mademoiselle Monday: Mlle Hepburn
“For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.” – Audrey Hepburn “I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.” – Audrey Hepburn “There are certain shades of limelight that can wreck a girl’s complexion.” – Audrey Hepburn “Your heart just breaks, that’s all. But you can’t judge, or point fingers. You just have to be lucky enough to find someone who appreciates you.” – Audrey Hepburn 3
Backyard Boudoir
With the summer quickly approaching, let’s think about taking the boudoir outdoors. No, I don’t mean camping “boudoir style”. I mean taking the boudoir into the backyard (or recreating a second one outside rather). As you can see, this boudoir beauty did it fabulously… Now, here are some furniture options to help you create your own little boudoir outdoors… 3
