Beautiful pieces...

The necklace looks really beautiful on you and I'll never forget that day

!!! The Perrier, the chocolates, the sweet SA, me getting to put the necklace on you and seeing your whole face light up...it was a very special experience indeed

. So glad that I could be a part of your first VCA purchase

. Hopefully I will join you in the VCA club soon! Got my eye on that bracelet I tried on that day

. Congrats my dear!!! You deserve it.

I was thinking about getting something from the Sweet Collection too for myself for Christmas, but I am not in the States and there is no store near me, do you mind if I ask which boutique did you visit and what is the current prices for the necklaces and bracelets? TIA for your help!!!

I do not have VCA in my hometown, either, so this visit required a trip to South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, CA. The Sweet Alhambra pendant was $1000 and I believe the bracelets are just a bit under. HTH!

I am glad it was a fellow tPFer that was with me! Sorry, I was so excited I forgot to mention Bri333 in my original post.

But yes, she put the necklace on me and I was in a complete daze after that---could not stop smiling!

Can't wait until you get the bracelet, dear! I will do my best to enable you next time we go!

The SA's were patient and attentive, encouraging us to try on necklaces and bracelets. They served us chocolates and Perrier. It was heaven and I was able to take a piece of that heaven home with me:

Feeling so special...

LOVE green!

Gosh, even the box is a treat!

Sweet Alhambra Quatrefoil in MOP with yellow gold!

Sigh...

LOVE!!!

Action shot for you:

Thanks for letting me share my new obsession!

What size is this - is this from the sweet collection? I can't tell from the pic. It looks so good on you.
