After work today, I decided to drop by my local boutique to purchase Jeff's birthday present for next month. It's a bit insane since the price increase is probably worth my extra 8 stops on the Metro. But, any reason to go to LV makes me quite happy and content. I have instructed Piolo to guard my secret gift. P.S Brought my Beaubourg with me to the store, and my SA thought it was a fake.

Mad dash to LV before the price increase
After work today, I decided to drop by my local boutique to purchase Jeff's birthday present for next month. It's a bit insane since the price increase is probably worth my extra 8 stops on the Metro. But, any reason to go to LV makes me quite happy and content. I have instructed Piolo to guard my secret gift. P.S Brought my Beaubourg with me to the store, and my SA thought it was a fake.
My New Beaubourg
My Beau is so new that everytime I open my locker, I am assailed by new-bag scent. Sigh...gone are the days when my bags had their own chair at my workplace.

Aloha to my new Beaubourg!
I just got my new Beaubourg from Hawaii today and I truly LVoe it! It's basically like any other north-south tote but with a zippered safety compartment. Ample space to hold lots of stuff and can expand quite a bit. What truly amazes me about this bag is the attention paid to the alignment of the monogram flowers. Beautifully hand-crafted. I can't wait to use it for my upcoming trip! Oh by the way, that's Angel's new Menthe Tahitienne GM.

The New Zippy Coin Purses are out!
I fell in LVoe with these little suckers ever since Apol bought his classic monogram. It's small but still quite functional and I'm looking forward to the one in Murakami Multicolore. The photo was taken from eluxury.com and is currently out of stock. Monogram & Damier $290; Epi $340, MC $380.
The Marilyn
An homage to Marilyn Monroe, this ample evening bag could also be used as an occasional for those lazy brunches in the middle of the week. Released in several incarnations from vache trim, to colorful exotics and the latest, gold leather! This has got to be my most favorite multicolore that definitely does justice to Norma Jean. Vache $1310 (current), Gold (May-June release) $1550, Exotics (limited edition 2007) $4950. Visit www.louisvuitton.com
Well, someone else was busy this weekend...
Damier Lune Trotteur & Sac à dos, perfect choices for the summer!

Twin Totes
Since Jerome is busy preparing for his upcoming trip to Vegas, he couldn't accomodate my request for modelling pics. He did however sent me a photo of his latest acquisitions. The Cabas in Damier Lune and the Monogram Carryall. LVoe them both! Enjoy and bon voyage! 
R.P Pony at 5th Ave
The Flagship store is currently showcasing the Richard Prince Firebird. Made out of pony hair embroidered with his signature cartoons, simply by far the haute couture of handbags. Originally priced in the lookbooks at $8250, the current retail for this collector item is $10,800!!! Visit www.louisvuitton.com. Photo credit: jenskar
Jerome, is that tsu?
This is not a repeat picture from last weekend, folks! Tsk, tsk, tsk...the boy is more obssessed than I am. I can't wait for the modelling pics!
Oooohhh...a Murakami Neverfull
I am actually bummed that the Murakami retrospective at the Brooklyn Museum does not have a limited edition piece to celebrate the artist. Nicki Hilton here is wearing the one from MOCA and was an instant hit to LVoers everywhere. Apparently, during its run, one can order from the MOCA through your local boutique.

Anniversary at the Cosmos Club
My small biotech company that I used to work for celebrated their 10th anniversary tonight. It was held in the illustrious Cosmos Club of Washington DC and needless to say, it was fabulous. I decided to go against the norm and wore my traditional Barong Tagolog for the event. It matched my Irvine perfectly! Jeff and I had a great time and it was nice that we received very warm receptions from my former co-workers. Here's a pic of me with Rowena and Abe carrying a ginormous bouquet to be presented to our CEO and founder.
House Hunting
Angel's on the market for a new house in DC so Wilfredo and I tagged along. We saw this wonderful abode in the heart of Logan Circle which was filled with topiaries and 18th century antique prints. The house was simply breathtaking and I could not resist asking Wil to take a photo. I included an inset showing Angel's new Tahitienne which she picked up after we adjourned. Puuuuhhhllleezzz Ange, get yourself a new camera phone!

Congratz Jenny!
I know this posting is a tad bit late, but wanted to share this motherly pic of Jennifer Lopez. I LVoe JLo and I started listening to her music at about the same time when I was getting into LV. So, whenever I hear her on the radio or see pics of her, it always conjures up warm, fuzzy memories of those first trips to the boutique. By the way, of course, she is wearing an LV scarf to pull back her hair. LVoe it!

WOW, would you have paid $210,000 for this?
This clutch was a 2006 release and I found it surfing the old posts of tPF. Is it really worth it? Did someone actually buy it? Post your comments ladies and gents, I wanna know what you think! Mr. Jacobs, can you send this to me for my birthday?!
I can't get enough of the Beaubourg
Soon to be released in the US (June 1), I can't wait to get my hands on the Beaubourg. Unfortunately, the UK will also be getting it at the same time, and I was planning to purchase it there as my souvenir from New Bond Street. Japan and Hawaii have it already and Asia will receive it on May 1st. Hmmmphhh...I may need to make a lot of international calls in the next few days.

Louis Vuitton Beaubourg
It's still quite early here in Virginia. The ground is wet from the night's rain. The birds are chirping outside. Piolo just finished his breakfast. And the Japanese Vuitton website has a new tote!!! It's called the Beaubourg. This unisex bag is a must have for those short trips to the bookstore for a cup of coffee. I have decided that this will be my New Bond Street LV.

Brooklyn Museum Vuitton Store
In contrast to my previous posting, this photo shows the clean, crisp lines of the bourough's first Louis Vuitton boutique.
Marc, please don't do this to me...

Brooklyn Museum Murakami Exhibit
With tomorrow being the opening of the Brooklyn Museum's Murakami Exhibit, Louis Vuitton has decided to be creative in its presentation of the artist's famed multicolore line by setting stalls that are akin to New York City's Canal Street. Known for it's counterfeit industry, the blatant irony of the concept was used for yesterday's Charity Ball at the museum. It's bold and oozing with sarcasm. I LVoe it! 
The Seated Nymph
I visited the National Gallery of Art today to view the exhibit Bronze and Boxwood and found this piece of sculpture a delight to behold! I LVoe statuary and this particular one made the trip all worthwhile.

The Tahitienne
Inspired by Vuitton's catalog of the 1920's, this absolute darling of a beach tote is a must have for any summer LVoer. I am not so wild though about the price point considering they are only made out of textile but, I guess, to each his own. It comes in two sizes GM ($1160) and PM ($1000)and an array of colors (lilac, menthe, sandy and pink).Visit www.louisvuitton.com.

Oooohhh, I want this!
I just saw this pic from Cynthia Cho's (tPF) posting and instantly fell in LVoe with what looks like a zippy compact wallet. I might forgo the upcoming Multicolore one in lieu of this. I just LVoe, LVoe that brass plate with the HK address. Now, are any of you guys going to Hong Kong?!
