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…
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…
Little Bo(udoir) Peep
Not many items say feminine like ruffles. Yep, just like Little Bo Peep’s undergarments….. …..but now instead of just wearing them on your knickers for a “peep“….. …..you can now enjoy them for a sleep in the “bo”udoir as well. Undergarments shown are from babygirlboutique.com. They have a nice selection of vintage-inspired lingerie. Bedding/Pillows shown are from horchow.com. 1
Jeremiah Goodman
Ever thought of decorating the walls of your boudoir with paintings of a room that belongs to someone else? I absolutely adore these paintings by Jeremiah Goodman (often known by his first name alone). They are beautiful interior “portraits” that blend a beautifully designed room with a magical touch that leaves you feeling as though you’re in a boudoir wonderland. Every time I look at them, I get a warm feeling. The rooms look so cozy and warm, without diminishing their regal appeal. Here are some examples of Jeremiah’s work featured on Dean Rhys Morgan. 0
Thinking Outside the Boudoir: Sex and the City
As you may have noticed the theme on My Little Boudoir this past week has been Sex and the City, so why not continue with that theme for this month’s Thinking Outside the Boudoir series post. For those of you just recently visiting My Little Boudoir, Thinking Outside the Boudoir, is a series where I post each month a home from the movies that I admire. While some may not be practical for everyday life, or represent my overall ideal decor, I would love to spend some time in them, even just for a night. In some it is the decor that I fancy. In others it’s the architecture or…

Thinking Outside the Boudoir: Breakfast at Tiffany’s
If you haven’t already noticed, the theme at My Little Boudoir recently is Tiffany & Co. So, what would be more appropriate than to feature Holly Golightly’s apartment in Breakfast at Tiffany’s for the monthly series called Thinking Outside the Boudoir. This is where I share my fascination of homes from the movies. While some may not be practical for everyday life, or represent my overall ideal decor, I would love to spend some time in them, even just for a night. In some it is the decor that I fancy. In others it’s the architecture or floor plan. And in some I think it’s my fondness for the characters.…
