Best Documentaries for the Boudoir
I do keep a television in my boudoir, but I really don’t watch a lot of it. I cancelled my cable a while back, and just purchase the few shows that I like to watch. When I actually have time to commit to a couple of hours, and my son is asleep, I will generally choose an old movie (1940’s-1960’s), or a good documentary. I usually like to keep it light, and don’t really like to watch sad documentaries (or movies for that matter), so these aren’t super “deep,” but they take me to a happy and fascinating world. Here are some of my favorite documentaries that I highly recommend:…

O Christmas Tree…How Lovely Are Your Ornaments…
It is that time of the year where I reluctantly must take down my Christmas tree. 🙁 I love Christmas so much that I begin listening to Christmas music around Halloween and I like to leave my tree up for a long time post-Christmas. The problem is, I usually get busy with work travel and then it stays up for far too long. My husband once accused me of keeping it up until May, but that’s a pure lie (I think). Saying that it was up until late Feb/early March might be the truth though (I know, I know…and yes, it’s a fake tree). Some may ask why he doesn’t…

Marilyn Monroe on Chanel N°5
Chanel recently acquired the rights to some never-before-published audio of Marilyn Monroe talking about Chanel N°5 fragrance. I’m sure all of you Marilyn fans know that Marilyn famously shared that the only thing she wears to bed is Chanel N°5. Many of the actual publications where she professed this information, making the perfume as legendary as she, were never published. You really MUST watch this video… If not, here is the story told in stills from the video on Chanel.com. I notice her voice often sounds different in audio/video of interviews as opposed to her films. I’m guessing this is because, in her films, she often portrayed the “dumb blonde” roll. She…

The Suite Life…a boudoir away from home
Most hotels offer basic suites that provide larger and usually more luxurious accommodations than a standard guest room. The suites I am about to share with you though, offer a little something more. They are each themed to be perfectly desired by a lady (or even young lady) looking for a boudoir on the road. Here are my all time favorite themed suites: The Dior Suite at the St. Regis – New York, NY The Tiffany Suite at the St. Regis – New York, NY The Eloise Suite at The Plaza – New York, NY Coco Chanel Suite at the Ritz Paris – Paris, France Fairy Tale Suite at the Disneyland Hotel –…

Christmas Recap
I hope you are enjoying the Holidays! I sure am. Our first gift (or blessing, rather) actually came before Christmas. My Step-Father had his life saved during a massive heart attack. He is doing well now, and that is the best gift of all, for which I am very thankful. I have to say, I am also quite pleased with those gifts found under the tree, too. Here are some of the fabulous gifts that I received this year. I’d love to hear what you received…feel free to leave a comment! 1. Gucci Guilty 2. Tiffany & Co. Envelope (aka Business Card Holder) 3. Coach Julia Patent Card Case and…

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…

Bump My Bouffant (…but wait…there’s more!)
Sex Kitten Bump. Beehive. Hair Bump. Bouffant. Bitch Bump. No matter what you call it, we’ll settle in the middle on “bump” for the purposes of this post. You’ve seen the infomercial for Bumpits. Promising to add instant hair volume, leaving you with the perfect “bump”. When I first saw the advertisement, I wanted them, but I wasn’t willing to pay the $20 + shipping for something that might not work. Then, the commercial became a household joke, because some of the “bumps” are so over-the-top that they look ridiculous. So, I never did fall for the “…and that’s not all” pitch. Long before a Bumpits commercial and the debut…

Marilyn Merlot
No, I did not misspell “Monroe”. Marilyn Merlot is just as it sounds…a nice blend of Marilyn Monroe and Merlot wine. One evening in 1983 over dinner and a bottle of Merlot, a small group of friends who dabbled in homemade wines, dreamed up Marilyn Merlot. In 1985, they started Marilyn Wines and gave birth to the official “legendary” wine collection…Marilyn Merlot. A moderately priced collectible wine with the breathtaking Marilyn Monroe on the label. Each year on June 1st, in honor of Marilyn’s birthday, a new bottle is released. A few days ago, a bottle of 2008 Marilyn Merlot was released. This is the image that graces the front…
