Oh Phoenix, I have no words. I am absolutely struck dumb by the beauty of your collection.
It is such a treat to have you share your pics so generously and unpretentiously.
You really are a gem too, thank you
I didn't realize how much my tastes have changed until I stepped foot into the store again and just fell utterly in love with the frivoles instead of the malachite alhambra when on me. 
@Phoenix , I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for you having to figure out what's going on with your health. All that trial and error as doctors try to figure out what's happening can take such an emotional toll on you. I do hope that the change of environment and detox would help get you back on track. Sending lots of dust your way that things turn out for the better.
And yes, there's some Frivoles coming my way in a few weeks, thanks to my other half
That grey MOP of yours is TDF! The color shifts and iridescence looks amazing. If only they would be willing to make an all grey MOP collection...that would be divine
, but you know you can SO the grey MOP? But you're prob referring to grey MOP being part of their permanent offerings. I too wish they would do that.
I love it, but given that my past bracelets are now relegated to my jewelry box (I find it uncomfortable to wear something on the wrist), it's going to be an expensive investment for something I may not wear 
The clasp also looks a little delicate, has that been your experience? Who knows how I would feel about wearing bracelets down the road though...VCA is a slippery slope!
@Phoenix, It's amazing how much our health is affected by the environment, and something as easy (or difficult) as a change in countries can make such a marked improvement to one's health (I fall sick all the time in hot and humid environments). I hope wherever you move to, these issues would be resolved and you would be in a much happier space.
I had no idea I could SO the Grey MOP. Is it similar to Hermes where you need to build a relationship with an SA and spend a fair bit before you can order it?
As for the Frivoles, it's the YG large pendant and small earrings. I was debating between the small pave or large YG pendant, but for me, the pave doesn't showcase the frivole design quite as well compared to the YG.
I also tried on the perlee clover bracelet for future reference
If you don't mind, I will post some pics of the Frivoles in this thread when I receive it. VCA is infesting my mind...and you are an excellent enabler!
@Phoenix , yes, I don't know what's going on with hot and humid environments. When I am in Singapore, my skin breaks out into angry hives, migraines, and I come down with severe flu symptoms such that I can't function. Same thing in Bangkok and HK, but it's a lot milder. I don't know what's in the air over there, but I do feel your decision to move is probably the right move. It must be scary to move back to Europe after calling Singapore home for two decades! At the same time - yay to 4 seasons! And the change of scene is going to be exciting too, there's so much more history and arts in Europe.
And thank you so much for your generous offer to help me get a grey MOP. I would love a 20 motif grey MOP, but it's probably something we can only do next year. In the meantime I shall live vicariously through you. I can't wait to see your magic alhambra grey MOP and all the lovely bling!
I think all this talk of VCA is affecting my brain, because last night I dreamt of a number of VCA pieces. Maybe my brain is telling me I should get the Perlee bracelet as my next VCA purchase
Amazing!And another RL action of my Lotus earrings. Alas, the Snowflake pendant is not mine....yet!
Now I am wondering if I should drop by the boutique because it just seems like a good/terrible idea...depending on how you look at it!Omg!!!! I absolutely love your collection!!!!!!!!I thought I'd post updated pics of my VCA "family", after my recent acquisition of the Vintage Alhambra pave bracelet in WG and of the Magic Alhambra pave earrings in YG today.
@Phoenix , we are going to get it together when he comes back from his business trip in a few weeks time. It's been an agonizing wait so far, so I don't know what sort of trouble I will get into while waiting...I spied a beautiful diamond bracelet on a lady when I was at the gym 2 days ago, and after further sleuthing it turned out to be the love pave small bracelet from Cartier. All I ever knew about Cartier has been their regular love series, so this was a really nice surprise.
I definitely think you should drop by the boutique!
Awww, that's so sweet! I can't wait for the reveal!!
That's so funny about the thin Love bracelet!! You're in so much trouble!
I really hope I don't start falling for more jewelry, because my man is probably going to give me the 
look at this rate!
Once you have these beauties on you, it's hard to say no! lolLove it!I too think the thin pave love is beautiful but I can’t get over the price. Little crazy. But gorgeous. I tried it on.
I would probably choose the perlee bangle with single row of diamonds over that for that price.
