Isn’t this limited-edition bottle of Flowerbomb perfume by Viktor & Rolf simply darling? I love anything with tulle. This bottle of perfume adorned with a delightful pink tutu is perfect to display in your boudoir! 0

Traveling Boudoir

Don’t you  just hate it when you’re in a hotel room that doesn’t have a proper area for applying your make-up? I prefer to apply my make-up sitting down, at a bedroom vanity. It’s so nice when a hotel room is well appointed with a dressing table, though they are quite rare. Well, no need …

The Danger of a Single Story

Much of the content that you see on My Little Boudoir is delightful on the eyes and may be inspirational aesthetically, but it is not always truly thought provoking (nor is it always intended to be).
