LOVE LOVE LOVE your closet design PBC, and of course its gorgeous contents. It's so funny....going through the H-stories reminds me of the threads way back when you got your first BJ Kelly. You've definitely grown the group since then!

here are my H bangles.

1. orange clic clac - purchased in montreal at holt renfrew. it was the first time buying H jewelry for me and i really wanted to have it. i remember walking away though bc it was $$$ in canadian dollars & i figured i'd just buy it back in the states for less. as we were leaving, i stopped off at the restroom and when i came back out, DH had secretly gone back to buy it for me! he wanted me to have a souvenir of our trip to montreal....such a beautiful city it was too!!

2. pink enamal bangle - one of my...ahem...secret lil' purchases! my secret shopper (BFF and fellow PFer moviegirl - love her! ) did the dirty deed for me as she always graciously does with my other secret buys! hehe

3. orange leather cuff (don't remember the exact name of it) - DH purchased it for me on yet another trip to vegas. it was the same trip DH bought me my tricolor ostrich birkin.

4. blue enamal bangle - LOL but this was purchased in vegas as well...another one of our many trips in 2007! we were invited by our host to see the robin williams show over at MGM and DH bought the bangle for me to match with my BJ kelly that i carried that night.

thank you eulalia! so sweet of you to say, but i promise you we are very very far from being perfect! if i lived in a perfect world with a perfect marriage, my crazy MIL would live ELSEWHERE and not with us!!

here is my valentine's day present TO DH...notice i said "to" and not "from" this time! LOL!!!

hermes black buenaventura messenger bag....or in other words, DH's manpurse!

we were in...where else.....vegas at the time when i also got to meet fellow PFer cvyxr (i hope i got the letters correct!)! DH and i were sitting at the bellagio blackjack table when this beautiful chic walks up to me with her equally handsome DH and asks "are you peanutbabycakes??!!" LOL ....ok, kidding....we had PMd each other prior to meeting and so she had already known my real name! she didn't know what i looked like though, so she assumed it was me thanks to my BJ kelly!!! how funny is that!!!!???

[RoseMary]

i love your collection, thanks for sharing!

since we're on the subject of me buying something for DH, here is a pair of H cufflinks that i got for DH as part of his xmas gifts in 2006. DH would never have bought anything like this for himself, so it was nice to see him very pleased when he opened the box. he even said "wow, for such a small box it's really well made! no wonder this probably cost and arm and a leg!"

he likes to place the lil' orange box on top of his dresser now....

fast forward a few months later....to july 2007. DH and i were on a trip with our friends to another friend's wedding in lexington, KY. late one night as the guys were all sitting around drinking and playing cards in the hotel, i pulled out my laptop and started surfing ebay. hmmm....what do i need? LOL!! i typed in hermes kelly and guess what popped up!!?? a bunch of kellys, of course! but one stood out from the rest. i had always wanted a red hermes bag...preferrably a birkin with gold hardware, but tonight a vintage rouge VIF courcheval gold hardware kelly caught my eye. OH MY!!! at that same moment, DH's friends were making fun of him for being "p-whipped" by me for spending so much money buying me (in their words) "an overpriced polkadotted pepto bismal colored bag".....they were referring to my fuschia ostrich birkin that i had with me! of course, DH wasn't going to allow them to bash him like that, so he just said "whatever dudes, don't be jealous bc you're not married yet!" so then i said, "yea honey, you show them how it's done! i'm about to hit BUY IT NOW on a bag and you're not even going to flinch!" LOL!!!

so then i hit BUY IT NOW and a few days later, this bag arrived.....
