Sex and the City 2 Movie Premiere
I might have given my left arm for a seat at Radio City Music Hall in New York City this evening (ok, not really, but probably a pinky toe…seriously) to attend the Sex and the City 2 movie premiere. Have a gander at the beautiful ladies (and gentleman) on the red carpet. Sarah Jessica Parker is looking so glorious in her yellow Valentino gown with her sun-kissed skin! They all look stunning! We can’t forget the fellas… And last, but not least, the lady who started it all, author, Candace Bushnell… 0

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…

Eugenia Kim Hits the Bull’s-Eye
Do you know about Eugenia Kim? This is how I learned about her a few years ago. I don’t normally fancy a knit cap, however, this one is ADORABLE and I just had to find out who the designer was. After some searching online, I found out about milliner extraordinaire, Eugenia Kim. Here are some of her other designs. Didn’t I tell you? They’re amazing, right? But…the majority of us probably don’t plan on plunking down $265 on a casual hat, much less $135 for a headband. Now, here’s the really great part of the story…wait for it… Eugenia Kim has designed a line for Target! It will be available…

Hollywood History: William Travilla
While the subject of the monthly Hollywood History lesson on My Little Boudoir is typically an actress, this month the lesson will be much different (but not too far away from the roots of My Little Boudoir). Meet William Travilla. He is responsible for this… Born on Catalina Island, just off the California coast, William Travilla had a passion for art from a very young age. He attended the prestigious Chouinard School of Art in Los Angeles, where he was advanced to adult classes at the age of eight. As a teenager, the burlesque clubs that he passed on his way to school began to pique his interest. Before long…

Grandma Ellen
This past Sunday marked one year from my Grandmother’s passing. So, I wanted to take a moment today to create a post in her honor. I was very close to my grandma Ellen, who I also called “Grameo” (I guess as a child I heard somebody on TV say Daddy-O and thought it would translate well to Grammy-O), and while she lived in California and I in Washington, I was fortunate to have many long visits with her. I really cherish the times that we had together sharing family stories, going through old photographs and watching old movies. She was such a beautiful woman both inside and out and would…

Best Dressed List: 82nd Academy Awards
Ok, here goes my top ten best dressed list (in order leading to my very most favorite) of the 82nd Academy Awards (the “Oscars”): 10. Anna Kendrick I love a flesh tone on a woman, provided that it doesn’t make her look washed out. Anna looks perfectly rosy in this gown, and I love the plat on the shoe! 9. Molly Ringwald Looking better than ever, Molly donned a timeless Hollywood look, but owned it in purple, which is very complimentary to her skin tone and hair color. The hairstyle is genius, too! 8. Miley Cyrus While I don’t believe Miley still belongs on Disney channel as a role model…

World Traveler
If you’ve never heard of (or seen the work of) Bella Pilar, it’s about time you do. Her illustrations are so darling. Mostly made up of fashionable women. Note cards with her artwork can be found at Papyrus stores and her newest release this week is a must have. It’s called World Traveler. Imagine sitting at the desk in your boudoir handwriting a note on one of these beautiful note cards. In the age of e-mails and phone calls a handwritten card is such a kind gesture. I highly recommend you stock up on Bella Pilar stationary, because a card that comes from a lady should be lady-like. 0
