hellllllllllooooooooooooooo!!!!!!! happy chinese new year to everyone!!!!
DH and i took my MIL for the weekend to celebrate the new year with SIL and her DH, who live in LA. after shopping up a storm at Sak's in beverly hills yesterday, we drove over to hermes on rodeo dr for a lil' peek of their inventory. on dispaly were 3 retourne 32cm kellys: potiron vibrato GH, navy togo PH, gold togo PH. the only birkin available was a 30cm black croc with diamonds. the SA told me that they normally reserve new birkins for their local established customers, but every once in awhile they'll put a birkin out on display for anyone to purchase. she also told me that the SAs in her store are not allowed to disclose birkin availabilities over the phone. i also saw on display a trim bag that had multicolored leather fringes attached to the entire bottom of the bag. wonder if this is a new style??? not really my cup of tea, but it reminded me of LV's multicolored fringe bags.
anyhow, DH tried on a gorgeous pair of distressed wingtip shoes, but they didn't have the sz in the color that he wanted. the SA even did a search but NOTHING available! oh well. my DH then reminded me that i needed to change out the red croc strap on my H watch (our feng shui master told us i'm not supposed to wear red this year!
). so i asked the SA if she had a fuschia croc strap in stock and luckily they did! had that baby changed out immediately!!
we spent about an hr in the store till MIL got a lil antsy.
i guess it was a good thing there were no bags for me to buy that day, otherwise MIL might have another crazy freak attack on DH! 
after we left H, we headed on over to pinkberries, which is this yogurt ice cream place that's HOT right now. think we stood in line for 30 min and i don't even like yogurt!!! (it was all for DH
) then in return, DH stood in line with me for ONE HOUR & 10 MINS at Sprinkles cupcake!!! hahahaha poor DH.....it was torture, but we did it just so i could say i had their famous overpriced $3.50 sprinkle cupcake!! 
ended up ordering 7 cupcakes to go: coconut, dark choc, blk/white, peanut butter, banana, red velvet, & marshmellow!! 
anyways, aside from all the shopping and sweet treats and gorging on yummmmy chinese food every few hours, we also managed to burn off a few of those calories by taking walks along manhattan beach. it was a nice weekend and i'm excited to say we'll be going back again in 3 weeks...without MIL!!! muhahahaha :devil: :devil:
