Silky Face
One of the most attractive attributes of a woman’s face (besides the eyes) is a clear flawless complexion. I am a red-head with some reddish undertones in my skin, and a little bit of freckles, not to mention the occasional blemish…all of which I wish to cover. I don’t go for those “tinted moisturizers” or “light coverage” products, because, well…I’m just not one of those kind of ladies. I like a full coverage foundation that gives a gal that porcelain doll look. They discontinued my favorite foundation in my late teens/early twenties, and I’ve never found one that I approve of 100% since then. I have tried many foundations in…
It’s Not Fair…
Me: “That’s not fair!” Mom: “Well, life isn’t fair!” Me: “Well, it should be and it is supposed to be!” This is how it went when I was a child and didn’t get my way. And, this is how I feel about something I found out about today. H&M has a “home” section, but the online shipping is not available in the U.S. Ugh! While it’s true that some of the items are best suited for a young lady’s dorm room or first apartment, there are many delightful items that any woman would find worthy of being in her boudoir. Plus, the prices are very affordable. Check out these great…
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…
Flowerbomb Ballet
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 to worry, because now you can take your vanity along with you. When I opened my December issue of Elle magazine, I saw this divine little treasure… This trunk-vanity, called the 211 Trunk, can be purchased from The Conran Shop for $4,800. Not only can you take it with you, but it would be so…
House of Harlow 1960
The other morning, whilst in my hotel room, I was watching Good Morning America. The guest was Nicole Ritchie, who was on to talk about her new novel, Priceless. During the interview though, something was brought up that I found even more interesting. She has her own clothing line and jewelry line, which I was unaware of. Now had this been the pink dreadlock wearing Nicole Ritchie, I probably wouldn’t have thought much of it, but now that she has matured, I love her style, so I was very interested to see what it was all about. The clothing line, called Winter Kate, appears to currently consist mostly of jackets, shoes and…
Jean-Paul Gaultier for Roche Bobois
The man famous for his “boudoir” designs being worn outside of the boudoir (including Madonna’s iconic 1990’s cone bra look), has now designed a line that is truly meant for the boudoir (and perhaps the rest of your home as well). Jean-Paul Gaultier has designed a home decor line for Roche Bobois. You will notice that some pieces, like the blush bedding and corset-inspired pillows, take on a more feminine look, while other pieces like the tattoo-esque armoire and luggage-inspired chests take on a more edgier street vibe. The combination of these two looks reflect Gaultier’s signature aesthetic. For more information about this line and store locations, please visit Roche-Bobois.com.…
Amazing Grace…How Sweet the Smell…
One scent that I am addicted to is Amazing Grace by Philosophy. To be very honest, this is probably not a fragrance that I would have normally selected, but on a trip through the gauntlet (aka the cosmetics department at Nordstrom), I was approached by a sales person ready to provide me with a squirt of Amazing Grace lotion. I accepted, and went on about my business. On my journey through the mall that day, I began to love the fragrance more and more. On my way back through Nordstrom I had to pick up a bottle of the lotion. This past Christmas, my husband bought me the gift set.…
Sunday’s Best: Frou Frou Fashionista
Since My Little Boudoir began in January 2010, women from 117 countries have visited. Clearly, many are unable to understand what I write about, but instead keep coming back to enjoy the many images on display. The photos that I am going to to share with you in today’s post need little explanation because they speak the international language of “Boudoir”. I would like to introduce Frou Frou Fashionista. Frou Frou Fashionista is a blog that is run by the owners of Faire Frou Frou, a luxury lingerie shop in Studio City, California. Don’t fret, if you’re not in the area they also have an online boutique. You’ll find that…
New York…New York
As I stated on the post Couture Cotton, I am preparing for a trip to New York. One of my favorite cities in the world. I am actually traveling for business (for my real job), but I will be staying over the weekend to visit some places that are on my “list of places to visit” (yes, I do keep a list). I will also be visiting some family. I am looking to all of you boudoir beauties that may live in the NYC area that could direct me to any other boutiques, museums, restaurants or the like, that would be worth visiting in the short amount of time that…
