Louis Vuitton Speedy Retrospective

Last night marked a rare occasion for me.  Not only did my local boutique host a "Speedy Retrospective" highlighting some of the Icon's many incarnations, but my good ol' LV pal, Jerome decided to step out of his orange box to join me in this night of free flowing champagne and open house for patrons.

The exhibit was quite small and I had seen most of these bags when they first came out, but what delighted me most was the photo booth set up for the guests.  Basically, you can have any bag, jewelry or accessory on the shelves and be photographed with them.  I wanted an editorial shot so I grabbed three Speedy Cubes and hid among them. LVoe it!!!

Jerome and Tom's Wedding October 22, 2011

It was the perfect day to celebrate the union between my friends, Jerome and Tom. The view from the vineyard was breathtaking as Autumn cast its magic spell in Virginia. I am still waiting for Arjay to send me the rest of the photos but here's a couple of iPhone shots that I would like to share with you all. LVoe, LVoe, LVoe it!!!

LVook See Thursday

Without anything better to do on a cold Thursday evening, Jerome and I decided to treck to our local LV boutique. Sadly, what used to be open late on a Thurs, was closed. I didn't even realize that they changed their hours. So, we opted for the crowded "Mall LV". As expected, the place was jammed packed with only two associates on hand. I felt bad for them so didn't want to be a burden just to LVook at what's out. The first thing I saw was a hybrid Neverfull. I have never seen it before and wondered if it were a new style. It was only Jerome who pointed out that it was the Damier Rivington, with its zipper closed. The LVook totally transformed the bag and made it so much more interesting. After which, I did get to play with the Idylle Fantaisie. Nothing special but perfect for a lazy summer outing. Below it was the Damier Azur Siracusa. Large and bright, this will surely be a hit once the weather starts warming up. Lastly, as we were walking out, I feasted my eyes on the Monogram Estrela. I LVoe, LVoe, LVoe it!!! It is soooo Vuitton and a happy addition to the Monogram Collection. I'm sorry that I am not as thorough as my other LVook-Sees. I just felt bad for the sales associates.

Tuesday at Louis

I was at the mall today with my good friend Jerome for an overdue dinner date and we happened to wander in the local Louis Vuitton Boutique. (*yeah, right*) Essentially, there was nothing new to see except when my eyes caught a travel protector that was covering a Pegase!!! It is the answer to every traveller's fear that their luggage pieces would be badly scratched or dirtied. Unfortunately, they only come with the newly designed Pegase 45, 55 and 65 and are not sold separately. Boohoo!

Yooohooo, Jerome!!!

LoVe is LoVe

This Sunday, thousands of Gay Rights activists and their supporters took to the streets of Washington, D.C. for a march and rally that began at the White House leading all the way up to the Capitol. Our one cry: "Equal Rights and we want it NOW!" Being directly affected by laws that prevent me and Jeff from enjoying the benefits of a married couple, we made it a point to be there today. Jerome and I at the beginning of the march. "The Activists" This was actually a rainbow that formed despite the lack of rain...must be a sign! We were walking alongside Scottish actor Alan Cumming (black t-shirt). In front of the White House. It's always a delight to see the Philippine Flag. "Love is Love"

Edison Chen and his favourite Treillis

Seeing pop icon Edison Chen with his Monogramouflage Treillis makes me wonder why I didn't even consider this bag. I was instrumental in both Jerome and Apol's purchases but at that time it was not speaking to me. Now, I want one but sadly it's gone. Sigh...
