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:…
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 –…
Guess Who’s Coming to Town…
Yep, that’s right! The most fabulous macaron shop in the world is coming to NYC! This opulent patisserie is located in the upper east side at 864 Madison Avenue. Yes, I know that there are many other bakeries that sell macarons in NYC, but I’m a sucker for fancy packaging and, well, their packaging makes me swoon. I’ve never been to Laduree, but I would love to go and certainly plan to next time I’m in NYC. I’m certain their macarons have to be the best on the planet. After all, they basically invented the little piece of heaven. Here is the story as they tell it on Lauderee.fr: “The…
Caron: Black and Pink
Do you remember when I told you in my Fieldtrip to Caron post about the “special order” black puff with pink ribbon? Well, I forgot that Diane, the lovely saleswoman, had emailed me a picture (when she sent the message letting me know that they had more in stock). So, what else would I do, but share it with you? Here is the photo she sent… Isn’t it dreamy? I L.O.V.E….. 0
A Fieldtrip to Caron
I’m embarrassed to admit that three quarters of the year have passed since I originally promised this post. On a business trip to New York back in September, I extended one extra day over the weekend to do some shopping, eating, sightseeing and visiting with family. Yes, I know, ambitious plans for having only one extra day. Needless to say, I had to let go of some of my plans. One that I was not prepared to give up though, was my trip to the Caron boutique. I had seen a few posts on other blogs that I follow about this fabulous perfume house called Caron. When I saw the…
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…
Summer at Tiffany…the book
One thing I love to do when I have time alone is curl up and read a good book. Since, today, my bedroom serves as my “boudoir”, I usually lie in my bed to read. In my dream (and hopefully near future) boudoir (of my very own), I would lie upon something like one of these to read my book or magazine of choice: This past year, on a trip to Half Price Books, I was walking down the aisle of thousands of books and it was as though the heavens opened up and shone light upon a little blue book (ok, I have to admit, realistically it was probably…
Chocolaty Goodness at Max Brenner’s
I saw Max Brenner’s Chocolate by the Bald Man on the Food Network a few years ago and kept it on my list of places to go. On my trip to New York City in September of 2007 I recommended it for a breakfast meeting with one of my vendors. The place was everything I expected and more. Max Brenner’s is located at 841 Broadway between 13th and 14th streets, near Union Square. When you walk in, it’s like Willy Wonka meets a Parisian Café, but in the middle of NYC. Since I love all things Paris and all things New York and chocolate…I was in heaven. The hot chocolate…
