WWMAD: What would Marie Antoinette do?
What indeed.
Modern ladies in a pickle, with a love problem, a friend problem or an all-around life catastrophe, have found themselves in luck. For the first time in centuries, the last queen of the ancien regime will be your Dear Abby, your Oprah, your Dr. Phil, your emotional sherpa. While Marie does not have a formal counseling background, she dealt with frenemies and enemies, was used as an international pawn, was the subject of countless scandals, and is a recovered shopaholic. She also lived during one of the most infamous social and political revolutions, was almost stabbed in her bed, and knows a thing or two about crisis. Every Sunday, she crafts advice from her unique 18th century perspective, putting her wealth of experience to use for you. Extra points awarded to letters written in fancy old-timey language.
Send all emails to whatwouldmarieantoinettedo at gmail dot com to be answered Sundays.

I am a HUGE Marie Antoinette fan! I have a handmade bracelet made that is modeled off of a scene from the Sofia Coppola film, and I am currently working on an entire collection of bracelets and earrings inspired by the film! I will keep you updated, for now, here is one of my bracelets!

Have just found this sight via “Madame Guillotine”, of which I am a huge fan, and especially adore the pictures that you post. It is all very inspirational. I hope some of your readers have noticed my etsy offerings of Trianon style muslin gowns, pink shoes with our own Beloved’s portrait, and for the more modernistic, a Merveilleuses style muslin gown and leopard velvet pellerine? Enough advertising, I must get better at photography and I could share with all my Christmas tree that I styled as a Versailles Garden that had been locked after the last party, and only rediscoverd recently, and myself at Halloween in black Marie Antoinette gown and powdered wig with theatrical blood running all down my neck and shoulders to look as though I had plonked my head back on. I wouldn’t reccomend it as it was horribly sticky, but LOTS of fun!
Lots of love Darlings! XXX

My Dear Queen-

What a wonderful question. What style do you prefer? more classic? More shabby chic? More funky? It might be time for a more thorough post that explores the modern products available for bedding.
In the meantime, I found that Macy’s has a Court of Versailles brand with different collections, collections and colors (and it’s currently onsale):

Tula Pink designs marie-inspired fabrics. There must be someone turning her fabrics into gorgeous sheets and duvets.It might be worth an email to see if she knows of an etsy seller doing just that. http://www.tulapink.com
Laura Ashley has some pinks and blues that are similar to hues used in the movie: http://www.lauraashley.com
Anthropologie has bedding this season with ruffles and pleats http://www.anthropologie.com
Is any of that helpful? Whatare you looking for and I’ll do a post (I haven’t done enough on home stuff on this blog).
