PBC, thanks so much for sharing. It's like a recap of your wonderful fashionable life. Love your taste in everything, esp the dresses, shoes, bags and accessories!! The bling and the H *insert DROOL here*

Judging from the pics here I say you have a wonderful future in real estate. You could even branch out to interior designing! I know for sure I would hire you. Hey, maybe someday you'd even have your own ID consulting firm.

ps we would love to see the other parts you help to design too!

even though DH doesn't object to most of my handbag desires, there are rare occasions when i know not to push it....so that's when i have to dip into my secret stash! (don't all wives do this??!! LOL!!!) a couple bags i've had to do that in the past were the fendi wysteria spy and the YSL fringe bag. but the biggest dip i've had to take into my secret stash was when i secretly purchased a 30cm orange swift gold hardware birkin!!!

PBC: look honey! my mom's old purse that she decided to give to me!
DH: oh wow!! that's pretty cool!! maybe your mom has other hermes hidden in her basement she can give to you too!!!

i've since then sold her bc she was a lil' too bright for me, but boy do i still miss her.... i'm just glad she's gone to a good home.

a lot of the older bags that still have hold sentimental value to me, so even though i do not use them i still keep them for this reason. every bag has a story behind it and it makes me happy when i look at them.

next is my LV montsouris (sp?) backpack from 1998. DH (BF at the time) & i went on a trip to chicago. one day as we were crossing the street, i noticed a girl in front of us with this backpack and i said to him "oh how cute is that?!" and he said, "yea that would look super cute on you too!" a week later, he surprised me with the same bag!!!
Awwww.... how sweet!!!

Hi PBC,
I'm new here and just admiring your lovely closet and especially the trunk - and how you designed it! It is amazing how you remember all the stories behind your bags - my collection is sooooo much smaller and I don't remember a lot - maybe I should start writing it down...

hi cindy!!! thank you! how exciting for you!!! i didn't use a closet company. i collaborated with my builder and carpenters on the configuration and the rest was from ideas i had gathered online or from magazines. aside from designing my closet, i also really enjoyed designing my kitchen and bathroom as well.
Ooooh Oooooh - can you post pics of the kitchen and bathroom as well???

I love love love love your closet. I LOVE that every bag has a story behind it. I love getting a bargain too but you're definitely the chicest and most gorgeous bargain queen I've ever come across :) I can't wait to see the lovely outfits and shoes you have hidden in your magnificent closet.

Hi PBC, thank you for sharing your closet and all your lovely bags and the memories that go with them. I especially love your blue Kelly. I can only think of one thing missing from your closet, a beautiful chaise longue for you to rest on when you're tired from trying everything on. And one more thing, a refrigerator for the champagne, maybe you have a built-in in your chest?
