Give-Away: Turbie Twist
I love the look of a turban on a woman. I think it is a great way to show off a beautiful face. Plus, it can serve as a quick solution on a bad hair day. Some are fancy… Some are casual… And some should only be worn in the boudoir… While there are many variations of turbans for women, a boudoir turban is a fabulous item to own. I recently purchased one in “My Little Boudoir” blue. It’s called a Turbie Twist. It can be used on wet or dry hair. It is a great way to keep your hair out of the way while applying make-up, keep it…
Sunday’s Best: Chinoiserie Chic
From here on out, each Sunday, I intend to share with you a post from one (or maybe a few) of my favorite blogs. This Sunday, I would like to introduce: The owner of Chinoiserie Chic is Beth, who also is part of Style Redux (both of which, I highly recommend you visit). I first discovered Chinoiserie Chic back in December. One of the recent posts at the time was My Christmas Decorating – Dressing Room. Even though today we are almost a year away from another Christmas, the post is still appropriate to share, because what you are about to see is her fabulous boudoir (or dressing room as…

Celebrity Boudoir: Tyra Banks
This month’s Celebrity Boudoir belongs to Tyra Banks. The special part about this boudoir, is that it’s actually her “dressing room” at work. Wouldn’t we all love to have such a place to get away to at work? It was designed by the very talented Ron Norsworthy. 1
Celebrity Boudoir: Dita Von Teese
This months Celebrity Boudoir belongs to Dita Von Teese, the famed burlesque star. A woman who constantly exudes impeccable glamour, like Dita, would clearly would have a fabulous boudoir. Her boudoir is complete with an antique dressing table, hat stand (with a beautiful collection of hats), pink walls, a lady head vase, misting perfume bottle, cosmetic mirror and powder puff. Oh, to have a showgirls closet…everyday could be dress up day. I don’t think this photo is taken in her boudoir, but it is in her home. And since it exemplifies glamour, as every aspect of her life appears to, I thought I’d share it anyway. The deep peacock blue…
Thinking Outside the Boudoir: The Prince and the Showgirl
If you saw my first post in the monthly series Thinking Outside the Boudoir, you will know that I have a fascination with certain homes in 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. The movie home that I want to share today is from The Prince and the Showgirl. In this film, Charles, the Grand Duke, played by…

Give-Away: Vintage Chanel Print
Some of you may remember my post back on January 22nd titled, “Boudoir Treasure…Vintage Chanel Print” about my fabulous ebay find; a vintage Chanel print ad. Well, as I stated, I bought two. One for me and one for a lucky My Little Boudoir reader. This beautiful original 1944 Chanel powder print ad could be yours. Imagine how beautiful it would be if you framed it in black and hung it upon the wall in your boudoir, perhaps near your dressing table. The small text reads, “A VERY FINE FACE POWDER WITH THE MOST TREASURED NAME IN PERFUME.” Enough said. You can be entered to win by doing any of…
First Lady Boudoirs
In honor of President’s Day (ok…ok…so I missed it by one hour and now it’s the day after President’s Day…please forgive me), here is a tour of a few White House boudoirs and private quarters used by First Ladies (and one First Daughter) throughout the years. Which is your favorite? Bess Truman Jacqueline Kennedy Caroline Kennedy Claudia “Lady Bird” Johnson Elizabeth “Betty” Ford Nancy Reagan Michelle Obama 3
Boudoir Essentials: The Boudoir Slipper
Every woman with a boudoir must own a pair of fabulously feminine boudoir (or house) slippers. To me a “boudoir” slipper should be a bit dressy…not the clunkers that are typical of this day and age that often times wind up looking like a mix of an old pair of clogs and something brought back from a hunting trip. No, I’m referring to a nice dainty pair of dress slippers like these: And if it is comfort you’re longing for, how about one of these little darlings? Just imagine dusting yourself with a powder puff (last month’s boudoir essential) and slipping on a pair of these beauties…pure luxury! 3
