Christmas Recap
I hope you are enjoying the Holidays! I sure am. Our first gift (or blessing, rather) actually came before Christmas. My Step-Father had his life saved during a massive heart attack. He is doing well now, and that is the best gift of all, for which I am very thankful. I have to say, I am also quite pleased with those gifts found under the tree, too. Here are some of the fabulous gifts that I received this year. I’d love to hear what you received…feel free to leave a comment! 1. Gucci Guilty 2. Tiffany & Co. Envelope (aka Business Card Holder) 3. Coach Julia Patent Card Case and…

Give-Away: The Carrie Diaries
As a farewell to Sex and the City week on MyLittleBoudoir.com, I thought it would be fun to do a give-away. If you remember back in my post titled 135 Days, I pre-ordered some copies of The Carrie Diaries. Naturally, I kept one for myself. I also gave one to my best friend as a gift when we went to see Sex and the City 2 on Friday. And the third copy is for a lucky My Little Boudoir reader. If you haven’t heard about The Carrie Diaries yet, in short it is the prequel to Sex and the City. It is written by Candace Bushnell, who was the same…
Give-Away: Signed Copy of “Summer at Tiffany” By Marjorie Hart
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…
Reading in the Boudoir: Rebecca
I would like to introduce you to one of my favorite books. Her name is Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. This book is perfect for a boudoir read. It is a classic, so many of you may already know how fabulous it is. But, for those of you who have not read it you’re sure to miss out if you don’t. Not only is it a great book, it also paints a detailed description of both the first and second Mrs. De Winter’s boudoirs and, even better, once you’re through with the book you can view them on the silver screen in the 1940 movie staring Joan Fontaine and Laurence…
Reading in the “Littler” Boudoir
During a family outing to the book store one afternoon, I was browsing through the children’s section when I came across a book that I knew I wanted my daughter to have. It was a children’s book titled, Different Like Coco. A biography of sorts about the life of Coco Chanel. I pulled it from the shelf and instantly (and all at once) had to choose my words very wisely, play nonchalant, cross my fingers and say a little prayer, that it wouldn’t be one of those “mom is trying to pass a boring book off as cool, so I won’t want anything to do with it” moments. Thankfully my…
Reading is Fundamental
A boudoir is not simply a place to admire your pretty decor, brush your hair and powder your nose. It is also a place where you can relax, take in a good book and brush up on your favorite topics ranging anywhere from fashion to history. While a book will never be outdated to me, we mustn’t forget that there is an endless wealth of information for your reading pleasure on the internet (such as you find on My Little Boudoir). Meet the Book Book where book meets laptop. Isn’t this a darling concept? Think of your laptop, with millions of websites to visit for any type of story your…
135 Days…
During a recent visit to the theater to see Nine, I was thrilled to be able to view the trailer for Sex and the City 2 during the previews. Let me tell you…that was worth the price of admission alone. On May 28, 2010, women across the globe will delight in an afternoon away from the boudoir to enjoy Sex and the City 2 with a group of their closest girlfriends. Until then, you can view updates about the movie, including photos, interviews from the cast and more on sexandthecitymovie.org. I am pleased to say that I just made a purchase that will allow me to better prepare for the…
Summer at Tiffany…the book
One thing I love to do when I have time alone is curl up and read a good book. Since, today, my bedroom serves as my “boudoir”, I usually lie in my bed to read. In my dream (and hopefully near future) boudoir (of my very own), I would lie upon something like one of these to read my book or magazine of choice: This past year, on a trip to Half Price Books, I was walking down the aisle of thousands of books and it was as though the heavens opened up and shone light upon a little blue book (ok, I have to admit, realistically it was probably…
