Ritz Paris Renovations
I like to keep myself in-the-know about the Ritz Paris renovations, so I regularly visit their website to view the progress. While on their website, I also enjoy many of the historic stories and such that they rotate on a frequent basis. I would encourage you to take a look at their website periodically, if this is not already something you make a habit of. I am in the travel industry, so I guess there is this sort of fascination with luxury hotels to begin with, but better than just any luxury hotel, the Ritz Paris is the most iconic location for the rich and famous in Paris (where many…

A Cure for Cotton
In a quest to try to organize my boudoir (I say “quest” because I share the boudoir with my husband and my desk doubles as my vanity…ugh…this is why you’ve yet to see photos of the “boudoir”), I was in need of one place to store all of my cotton. Cotton balls, Q-tips and my Chanel Le Coton, that is. Previously, I had my Q-tips in this little pink glass votive holder (that I picked up at the dollar store or something). I had my cotton balls in this green faux alligator skin container. And, my Le Coton was in it’s original packaging. Then, one day on a shopping trip to…

Give-Away: Mermaid Talcum Powder & Jordi Labanda Notebook
I know it’s been a while since I’ve done a give-away on My Little Boudoir, so let’s get this party started! This Friday (January 18th) I will be selecting one boudoir beauty to win both of these ladylike gifts to use in their boudoir. The lucky winner could be you! Gift #1 – Vintage inspired Mermaid Talcum Powder. The fragrance smells like baby powder with a hint of Chanel N°5. The powder is in the bottom of the tin, wrapped in paper, and the puff sits on top. Gift #2 – Jordi Labanda spiral notebook. This notebook is about 3/4″ thick and has lined paper inside. I love Jordi Labana…

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…

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…

Couture Cotton
Many of us dream of experiencing the luxury of Chanel couture, however the fact is, it is economically unattainable for most. So, for many women lounging in their boudoirs gazing starry eyed at their September issue of Vogue magazine, this dream will never come to fruition. However, there are may ways that the average woman can still experience that heart palpitating moment of walking into a fine boutique and coming out with a shopping bag; even on a budget. What I am about to share with you won’t set you back any more than a half tank of gasoline. You see the name of this post, do you not? You…

Win a Trip to Paris!
For some reason lately I have been majorly obsessed with going on holiday to Paris. I’ve been twice before, but about ten years have passed since my last trip (that was the trip when I was first introduced to Sephora). Learning that a visit to Coco Chanel’s apartment was within reach is what really sent me over the edge. Unfortunately my camera was a piece’o’junk on my last trip, or otherwise I would jump on an opportunity that I received an email about this afternoon. As you can see in this email, Air Tahiti Nui is running a contest to win a trip to Paris. To learn more and enter,…

“Chanail”
I must admit, I’ve never been one to wear flamboyant designs on my fingernails. The most risky I get is a French manicure and, why, that’s not risky at all now, is it? I am, however, captivated by these creative “Chanel” manicure looks that I found at Lacquer Boudoir; a blog about nail art. I particularly fancy the one inspired by the 2.55 Chanel handbag. This look is darling, too… Who knows, perhaps I may just venture beyond my go-to french manicure and taupe and opt for one of these fun designs one day. If you’re a boudoir beauty who is all about nails, you must visit LacquerBoudoir.blogspot.com. She has so many…

Visiting Coco
Hi, my name is Sarah and I’m a magazineaholic… (You say: “Hi, Sarah”) Yes, it’s true. I am addicted to magazines. Not cigarettes. Not alcohol. Not lattes. Magazines. I spend quite a lot of time in my boudoir thumbing through various fashion, decor and gossip magazines. Even when I venture outside of my boudoir, I like to take in a good magazine. I have to admit, when I’m at a doctor’s office with good magazines, I sit in the waiting room hoping that they’re late to call me into the room so that I can enjoy all of them. I even get a little annoyed by cheap doctors who only…
