Sunday Mourning: Bumpkin on a Swing
I interrupt the regular Sunday’s Best series, to share some very sad news….. While I was visiting some of my favorite blogs from my blogroll yesterday morning, I naturally stopped by Bumpkin On A Swing to see what Lisa was writing about. I was shocked to see a guest post titled, “In Loving Memory“, telling of Lisa’s recent passing. Even though I don’t personally know Lisa, I sat at my computer and cried. I then cried again when I read Trish’s post at Pink Preppy Lilly Lover (Trish was Lisa’s bestie). In three short weeks a very aggressive form of ovarian cancer took over Lisa’s body, and she passed away.…

Sunday’s Best: Bumpkin on a Swing
As you know, Sunday’s Best is where I highlight a blog or blog post that I enjoy. Today, I am pleased to share one of my favorite posts from Bumpkin on a Swing. This post is from her Wordless Wednesday – Legends Series, and it features all things Chanel! Wordless Wednesday is just as it sound. Pictures without words. This is only because the pictures themselves are (as they say) worth 1,000 words. At Bumpkin on a Swing, it is not only the “wordless” part that you have to look forward to, it is her charming and witty writing that draws you in and makes you feel like you’ve known…

Lily Lemontree
Something that I enjoy doing in my little boudoir is visiting other blogs. One that I came across today is called Lily Lemontree. The header alone is enough to draw you in… What’s even better is that she has a contest going through March 2nd where you can win Coco Before Chanel on DVD (which I have been waiting to see FOREVER). To enter, you can visit lilylemontree.blogspot.com for details. P.S. Don’t forget to enter to win the vintage Chanel print ad on My Little Boudoir, too. 0

How do I leave a comment?
A few people have asked me how to leave a comment on MyLittleBoudoir.com. This made me realize that perhaps it’s not so obvious. I recognize that the font size is rather small and tends to blend in with my “tags”. And since I willfully admit that I have no idea how to change the font size in that area, I will instead provide you with a quick visual tutorial: Step one: Steps two through six: I love to hear your feedback, so feel free to comment as much as you like! Plus, sometimes it can even be a way to enter for a give-away, like this vintage Chanel print ad.…

Olive Oyl Royale (part II)
This is a continuation of the post from January 6, 2010 titled Olive Oyl Royale (part I). Below I have listed many additional nautical looks that range from Old Navy to Louis Vuitton. Even without these modern day nautical looks, Olive Oyl still won her man. It just goes to show you that good looks and fashion alone won’t get you where you need to be, but a good soul does it every time (the good looks and clothes won’t hurt though, right?) 😉 I will exit today with this fun fact… One of the actresses who voiced Olive Oyl’s cartoon was Mae Questel, who also provided the voice for…

Olive Oyl Royale (part I)
In 1919 when Olive Oyl first donned her gold bauble earrings, red sweater, yellow striped black skirt and brown boots (the prequel to Uggs), she probably never guessed nautical fashion for women could be so glamorous. Although, I’m sure today her heart would be throbbing (like mine) for the nautical looks that are coming this spring. I must say that regardless of the seasonal “trend”, I always adore a classic nautical look. It really is a timeless style that has been worn throughout the ages, from Coco Chanel to Brigitte Bardot and Goldie Hawn to Gwen Stefani. In the mail yesterday, I received the January 2010 issue of Elle magazine.…
