Oh gosh that’s so sweet but I am the last one to be learnt lessons from@eternallove4bag an updated VCA family photo would be great for us to learn some lessons from you, you have a great collection![]()
Deal @DS2006 … it should be eye opening for me too because I have yet to put all my updated VCA pieces togetherYES....please add an updated family photo @eternallove4bag! There are a lot of others who need to do that, too (on the family thread)!
Post your Van Cleef family portrait!
Thanks Mali. Enjoy your beautiful collection! I have mini frivole earrings. I love the larger earrings on others but I prefer small earrings on me. Put down deposit, can’t wait! Hope you get your rose gold soon! Thank you, me too. :flowers: Yes indeed, always buy what suits you best. I’m glad...forum.purseblog.com
No mine doesn’t shed. I have two and got them 3-4 years ago. I wonder if they changed the faux fur on it.It is from Pottery Barn! Does your shed like crazy? I feel like I’m living with a husky! How do you fix this?
do you have to be careful to not get the butterfly ring wet due to mop? I wasn’t sure if there would be any difference in durability due to the “coating” on the mop.Thank you so much… I am a firm believer that accessories make the look so my clothes are super affordable and can be worn on a daily basis. Gosh, you won’t believe me how many people asked me this question today regarding which ring would I choose if I had to pick only one
. And, this is my heartfelt response - in terms of practicality and the bling factor, the pave Frivole BTF ring wins hands down! I can wear it no matter the weather. It’s a carefree ring. I have to be much more careful with the butterfly because of the white mop during rain or snow. But, if I had to choose just one, it would be the butterfly ring for me. I know, the answer kind of surprised me too because I was so sure the Frivole BTF ring would be the ‘one’ for me! I love everything the butterfly ring symbolizes. I look down on it and I have a silly smile on my face. It’s elegant, whimsical, beautiful and it represents everything that’s positive in this world for me.
I am definitely more careful with my stone pieces in general but I have to say I do kind of forget that half of ring is stone when I am wearing the butterfly one and use it just as I would use my other rings. I deliberately avoid wearing it when it rains or snow But, when I am wearing it, I have washed my hands with the ring on with no dire consequences. When I was buying it my SA had told me that the ‘coating’ on this ring makes the white mop more resilient and durable than regular white mop.do you have to be careful to not get the butterfly ring wet due to mop? I wasn’t sure if there would be any difference in durability due to the “coating” on the mop.
That's the important thing--not having everything but having the pieces that work for you. Moreover, the less you have, the more those get worn, which in my mind is a big plus!Oooh that Tiffany cuff looks bold and beautiful. But girl, you know my style! I usually go for the more feminine pieces that still make a subtle presence. But, sometimes I do go rogue like with the JUC bracelet which to my eyes is a more edgy piece. Or the Serpenti bracelet and earrings, which if everything goes according to plan, I would like to add in 2023. I know, I am too much of a planner.. and yes, a piece from Tiffany is still in my future plans but still undecided which one. That’s what I like about shopping - the planning part. No money spent but I get to go and visit the stores whenever I get the time to try out the pieces on my mind. It helps me solidify my WL.
I totally agree with you. Right now, I feel VCA is churning out more of the same, which is just not resonating with me. I am waiting for them to come out with something that will wow me and stop me in my tracks. I don’t want ‘kinda like, maybe will love one day’ kind of pieces. I want to add only ‘gosh, I can’t live without this piece’ even if it’s not instantaneous love. Hubby calls the former ‘fillers’ and latter ‘meaty’And he is so right!
I should post an updated family pic of my VCA party. It only looks like I have everything, which I promise, is not the case in reality…. I feel like I got the pieces that work for me
… if I feel I have amassed a clutter of a collection, I will be unable to sleep

Thank you so much! You are so right! I don’t want a collection which is a reflection of someone else’s style or what’s ‘hot’ at the moment. My collection should be quintessentially ‘me’That's the important thing--not having everything but having the pieces that work for you. Moreover, the less you have, the more those get worn, which in my mind is a big plus!
Congratulations on a wonderful---curated---collection.
OMG . . . we're so much alike! Too much stuff makes me nervous. I only want what I will wear . . . and a few other things for that "just in case," special occasion. No multiples except for white shirts and workshirts. My mantra: if I can't wear it out of the store, I shouldn't be buying it.Thank you so much! You are so right!

I am a huge believer in evaluating what to keep versus what to let go of on the basis of cost per wear. I will not keep bags,
clothes, jewelry that don’t get used no matter how coveted they are. If it didn’t work for me, it needs to go. Clutter gives me a headache and works havoc with my sense of peace and I LOVE my peace![]()
I was grinning from ear to ear reading this because you won’t believe if I tell you, but when I buy things, my SAs, both VCA and Hermes, know that I will be wearing that item out of the store. They pack an empty box for me to carry outOMG . . . we're so much alike! Too much stuff makes me nervous.

Love itI always wear my stuff out too! My SA always asks if I want a plain bag to leave (vs a VCA) and I’m like for what? All they will get is an empty box and some chocolates!![]()
I love the last one... I'm guessing inspired by Chang'e?More butterfly clips . . . I've been collecting photos. I'd be hard-pressed to pick a favorite.
