Howard - I always like seeing the pics of your gorgeous bags in the Mulberry thread. BUT, your new BV is by far my fav!!! It looks so incredibly FAB on you!!! I love it with the outfit you're wearing at the museum (orange shirt). Just gorgeous!!!

Can I take you shopping with me!?!?

You always look great!!

ReRe · Jun 24th, 2009, 06:33 PM

Howard I so enjoyed your thread, love the bag and your style. Congrats.

couturequeen · Jun 24th, 2009, 10:38 PM

Wonderful reveal. I'm glad you got to see the NYC boutique, even if you left empty-handed. You are beaming, as a proud new BV owner! And the BV is more fabulous than the art on the walls. I love that you take your BV "to lunch." It's truly the perfect shade of blue for you.

peggy168 · Jun 24th, 2009, 10:49 PM

Hi Howard, thank you so much for sharing with us your wonderful journey to NY. I have not been to NY before. Now, NY will be in my next dream destination. Love your BV bag too, what a beautiful catch!

llson · Jun 24th, 2009, 10:57 PM

Howard -Thanks for sharing, this is great, you are great and so is your bag!!

Bichon Lover, thank you for sending me to read this!!

kroquet · Jun 24th, 2009, 11:01 PM

I truly think that picture should be in the BV catalog!!

oj_lo · Jun 25th, 2009, 01:28 AM

i enjoy your pictures and the story, and adore your look with the H scarf, congrats on your 1st bv!

IFFAH · Jun 25th, 2009, 01:37 AM

Howardu, as usual your thread are always entertaining! Congratulations on all the purchases and your 1st BV!!

the Hermes Petits Chevaux; matches well against your new BV.

beth001 · Jun 25th, 2009, 04:38 AM

I haven't been in NYC in years. Your photoessay makes me want to go TODAY! Thanks for sharing your adventure with us. You rock a neck scarf like no man I've EVER seen before, btw, and your blue BV is a stunner ;-)!

Sammyjoe · Jun 25th, 2009, 07:03 AM

Wonderful storytelling!! Love your new BV!!!! You look splendid in your scarves as well!! Great modelling shots!!

howardu09 · Jun 25th, 2009, 10:55 AM

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone. Sorry I'm so late but I was really busy at work and just exhausted when I got home. This is such a great forum with so many positive, happy people. I love it here. Why are there not more people like you all in the "real world"? lol

jll9, Bichon Lover, blueiris, LLANeedle- Thanks so much for sharing in my little reveal.

jburgh- Im happy you liked it! Yes, only 4 hours on the bus. Even faster by car. I only wish I had more time to go more often. I love your avatar, btw.

Baggiana- Thank you so much for the nice comments and I'm happy you liked the thread.

Kassandra- You're welcome for the tour! I love taking photos. The hardest part was choosing just a few to share. Yes, I started liking the piccadilly last year and had to get it. They are such good bags to have. After using my piccadilly in NY a few months ago, my sister now wants a bayswater.

mombug-Thank you mombug and thanks kroquet for sharing my reveal. I wish I had more time to write. There was so much I left out. Happy you liked it.

C_24- Thank you so much!

sngsk-Thanks. I love accessories. I think they are so important and fun.

loveaddict- You are too kind. Thanks for the compliments. Completely made my day.

minismurf04- Thank you. I'm happy you like them. I'm waiting for something new from LV to catch my eyes. Hopefully the damier groom line is not just a rumor. I'd love a cles.

alisonanna- Thanks for reading my reveal. Hurry hurry..off to your appt.

(I'm so late)

bagdoll- Thank you and I am now a BV lover for life.

ssc0619- Thank you. And I'm happy you liked it.

Charmed05-Lol...I can see you now with the 3 yr old. Thanks for looking and I'm happy you liked it. See you next time. Hopefully sooner than later.

kroquet- Yes yes yes! Can we have tea too? And I also want to stop by and test drive a convertible...lol..We'll have a blast!!!

Compass Rose- I hope that's a good oh and you like the thread.

CX827- Thank you. I was so happy when the SA said she had one in stock. I almost hit the roof.

yoga 1566-thank you!! you're so kind.

deloresmia- Thank so much. Come back to the east coast..We will hippily accept you back. :)

jelts-I'm so happy you liked it. And you're welcome for the photos.

twinkletoes- Thanks for the nice comments. And I am happy that you like the photos and the story.

Longchamp- Thanks so much. You're so sweet. Yes its an LV luggage tag that I had hotstamped with my initials. They do the stamping for free with any LV tag. It was a tag that I've had for a long time and it just so happened to match the cobalt. Funny, right?

leilani01- Thank you. I too love this color.

labelmom5- Thank you so much. And your birkin is beautiful!!!

uclaboi- Thanks!!! I really like luggage tags and I'm just waiting for a further reduction on the prada bellhop luggage tag. Its marked down to $75 at Saks now but I'm hoping that it goes down some more..

Hopefully it doesn't sell out. I'm such a risk taker....lol

LV-Pradafanatic- I saw your lovely cobalt and the great photos of the city. Love them all and I'm happy you had so much fun on your trip and had a great bag to come home to.

castorny- Another bag twin...

..NYC is such a blast that I cannot even express my feelings and experiences in words...I know you must enjoy living there. Its always amazing...Even if I leave empty handed..And Im now hooked on your blog..Love it and your bags.

Juda- Thank you. I love to read other reveals with photos. They are so much fun to watch. Your cats are too cute!

luvmy3girls- Thank you and I'm happy you liked my crazy story. :)

jane- Thanks so much! I agree about cobalt. I have never been a big fan of blue until I saw this one. I love the bag in your signature...Wow... and the cupcake looks delicious too...I can't decide which looks better.. :)

debsmith- Thanks so much for your comments. I'm happy you liked it.

goldenflower- I just have to say that I laughed out loud when reading your avatar...ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....frugal is an ugly word...Thank you so much for the nice comments about my photos and writing. I hope and pray that this will not be my last BV reveal. I want the black key holder, a leather/silver bracelet and the paper clip money clip.

krisluvspurses- Thank you so much. Shopping? Yes yes yes...I will never turn down a shopping trip... You are too sweet and I'm sure you don't need my fashion advice. I just buy whatever's at H&M and Zara and match it with designer bags and accessories...lolllllll

ReRe- Thank you so much. Your kitty avatar is so cute. I need a pet soon.

couturequeen- Thank you so much and I am so happy you liked the reveal and the bag. I now love cobalt too. I can't wait to find out what next season's color will be. And the DC Smithsonian museums can't be beat for good entertainment/education on the cheap...Love them..Oh wait.. you're here too so I'm sure you already know that.. :) Do I spy a Five Guys cup in your hand? I need some 5 guys...lol

peggy168-You're so welcome! Thanks so much for the nice words and visit NYC as soon as you can. Its definitely an experience you won't forget. Although, I'd love to go to Singapore. All the designer bag sightings..I'd love to see them all.

llson- Thanks for looking! And I'm happy you liked it.

kroquet- Oh stop kidding me. :)

oj_lo- Thanks so much! Unfortunately, I didn't listen when they told me about the slippery slope of H...I'm now hooked on the scarves and cant stop shopping for more...I see that BV is the same way..I want more..

IFFAH- Thanks so much! I'm happy you enjoyed it.

beth001- go go go...NyC awaits you. :) Thanks so much for the nice words.

Sammyjoe- Thank you so much! Your birkins are so stunning!! (Gasp) Love them all..

zooba · Jun 25th, 2009, 11:17 AM

Love the bag and the scarves- great taste!
