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…
Chanel Inspired Boudoir
If there are two things I know about the readers of My Little Boudoir…it is that you adore both a ladies boudoir and all things Chanel. This post is all about the blending of the two. This has been a long time in the making, because I knew there could be nothing less than the best if we’re talking Chanel. In these design ideas you will find that I infused inspirations from Chanel designs, Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel (her personal life and style), as well as elements from her private apartment. So, without further adieu, I present you with the elements of a Chanel inspired boudoir. Enjoy! 1. WALLS Chanel’s iconic…
“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…

Spending Chanel on Chanel
Perhaps I’ve been hiding under a rock for the past two years, but a few months ago I found out about these stunning Chanel coins. Now I’m no numismatic, but I sure would like to be the proud owner of one of these beauties. They were made in both gold and silver, and no, I don’t mean in color, I mean the real deal. While they appear to be a €5 coin, they actually sold for a lot more because they are made of gold and silver. There were 99 gold coins produced, which sold for €5,900 (so you could potentially spend one of these €5 coins in Chanel boutique)…

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…
Mademoiselle Monday: Mlle Chanel
“Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress.” -Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” -Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel “A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.” -Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel “Don’t spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.” -Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel “How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.” -Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel “Success is often achieved by those who don’t know that failure is inevitable.” -Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel…
