Pinterest Addiction
I once felt cross with my second grade teacher for telling my mother during a parent/teacher conference that I was a “daydreamer”. I didn’t care too much for her after her unsuccessful attempt in turning my “daydreaming” into a negative thing. Personally, I found daydreaming a delight. I could not understand the concept of not daydreaming. That was who I was (and who I am)…a dreamer. After all, without a vision of what you want out of life, what else does one have to look forward to? Now that I am grown, I can daydream to my heart’s content, without judgment…and I do. Since I discovered Pinterest.com, I have been…

Barbie House Guest
If you read my Living Like Barbie post back in April of 2010, you probably fell in love with the Barbie Malibu Dream Home by Jonathan Adler. There is a YouTube video on the post where he takes you on a tour of the home. I would absolutely LOVE to stay in this home, but since it’s probably not likely that I’ll be invited as an overnight guest, there is now an alternative… The Barbie Suite at the Palms Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. L.O.V.E.!!! (note the better view of the Barbie Ghost Chair that was featured in my Barbie Style post) I found a tour…
Maria Evora
Do you ever buy something so special that you never actually use it? I am trying to break myself of that habit. Therefore, I busted out a special bar of soap that I’ve had sitting on my bedroom vanity/desk for quite some time now. You may remember it from my post back when I made the purchase (yes, over a year has passed). Part of the reason that I didn’t want to use it was because the imprint on the front is so lovely. The soap comes in both black and white. My bar is black, as you can see. The image on the front looks like a cameo…it is…
Caron: Black and Pink
Do you remember when I told you in my Fieldtrip to Caron post about the “special order” black puff with pink ribbon? Well, I forgot that Diane, the lovely saleswoman, had emailed me a picture (when she sent the message letting me know that they had more in stock). So, what else would I do, but share it with you? Here is the photo she sent… Isn’t it dreamy? I L.O.V.E….. 0
Walk With a Cane
Walking with a “cane” has taken on a new meaning. No, I am not talking about this kind of cane… I am talking about these lovely cane bags from Tiffany & Co. I have always loved the look of cane lattice, whether it is on furniture, printed on fabric, or now….on a handbag. I am sooo in love with this first bag. Wouldn’t you feel so fabulous toting this around the beach this summer? These hand and shoulder bags are quote beautiful, too! 0

After that last long winded post, I am going to let these images speak for themselves. All I have to say is L.O.V.E.!!! 1
A Fieldtrip to Caron
I’m embarrassed to admit that three quarters of the year have passed since I originally promised this post. On a business trip to New York back in September, I extended one extra day over the weekend to do some shopping, eating, sightseeing and visiting with family. Yes, I know, ambitious plans for having only one extra day. Needless to say, I had to let go of some of my plans. One that I was not prepared to give up though, was my trip to the Caron boutique. I had seen a few posts on other blogs that I follow about this fabulous perfume house called Caron. When I saw the…
Thinking Outside the Boudoir: Rebecca
Of all the movie homes that I’ve shown on My Little Boudoir, this one has a boudoir that may just top them all! The home is called Manderlay and the movie is Rebecca, starring Joan Fontaine and Laurence Olivier. I read the book (by Daphne du Maurier) first, and then watched the movie. I loved both. To give you some insight as to why you are about to see two boudoirs in the photos that follow, here is a preview of what the book/movie is about: Rebecca is a novel of mystery and passion, a dark psychological tale of secrets and betrayal, dead loves and an estate called Manderley that…
