After checking on couple more rings in store last Friday, I think I'm 70% sure I would get the Lucky Alhambra btf ring
Anyway, I called the boutique in the Palazzo, they still have the turq version, available in size 53!! It's too big for me, too badIf you're interested, grab it before it's gone
Now I'm debating between the TE+MOP and the MOP+grey MOP. I only tried on the TE in store... what do you think? Any thoughts?
FYI my order for the MOP+grey ring was canceled due to VCA retiring this ring. If you want it get it now while there are some in stock.
I am loving these pics kim mac. You are looking so lovely with all
your sparklers!! I especially like the cosmos with your butterfly ring; excellent choice on the size- the small suits you perfect
. Thanks for sharing and wear inthe best of health!
Gorgeous! The cosmos looks so perfect on you and goes so well with your frivole pieces. The butterly BTF ring is gorgeous as well. You have an amazing collection!
Congrats Kim Mac ,all your pieces are really beautiful !!! You wear them so well .
You must be so excited to have your favorite piece !!
Your frilled pink cardigan wouldn't happen to be from Anne Fontaine ?
It looks just like one I have in white.
Thank you! The cosmos is my favorite - in my heart I've always loved the design and could never get it out of my mind! Yes, the pink cardigan is Anne Fontaine! I have it also in hot pink and black. I don't wear it enough because it is tight and body conscious. Do you wear yours often? I just love the ruffles and that it's machine washable!
Congratulations Kim_Mac- everything is absolutely stunning! And Suzie- you took the words right out of my mouth! I'm new to VCA, but that's not small at all! It's gorgeous and I think beyond perfect for casual wear. I wish my everyday casual was so beautiful
Glad you think it's not "small". I agree that it works well for casual wear. This morning I'm wearing with a James Perse T and J Brand jeans. I'm sure your everyday casual is beautiful too!
Thank you!
Thank you!
kim_mac, the small cosmos looks perfect on you. it could easily transition from day to night, and look chic. so lovely! this is on my list too... for the far future though!
Oh, you will love it. It's so light and comfortable. I hardly know it's there! I have to keep checking mirrors and my rear-view mirror when driving to enjoy it!
Thank you!
Thank you!

Yes, the Cosmos and Butterfly ring combo is my favorite too. Thank you for reassuring me on the size. My greedy angel on my shoulder sometimes tells me to exchange for the medium haha! I love your favorites, and you wear them so well!
Thank you! I'm glad the Cosmos works with the Frivole because I don't think I can get Cosmos earclips for a long time!
Thank you!
Oh thank you, you are so kindAre you getting anything before the UK increase?
Amazing and so beautiful!! Congrats on finding your favorite piece!
Hi Kat, I don't know why the multi-quote missed yours. Thank you for the compliment. It means a lot coming from you because I read your blog almost daily and love your style! I also love the combo of fashion, travel, food, and you are hilarious in your self-deprecation!
Wow 
fabulous modeling pictures!! 
You look really great with your new cosmos pendant (and all others of course)! What a great collection you have there!
Do I have a favorite piece? For now, it's the two butterfly ring, but need to do a lot of savings
Congrats again!

I say wear whatever makes you happy.
I don't own a VCA piece yet (still a newbie here), but I sometimes get similar comments on my Hermes bags. I understand some people may not appreciate brand name items as much as others, afterall, it's a personal choice. I would take whatever comments with a smile, knowing that I would much rather owning a VCA (that I really adore) than 10 bargain pieces that I dont have much feeling for. I wouldn't worry too much about those comments.

Pssst......I have a question for you gals.
I've been wearing my 10 motif MOP, 10 motif onyx, combination of the two to create a funky 20 motif look, and/or Magic Mop almost daily. Anyway, my question is, do you gals get negative comments from wearing VCA pieces? My collection is far from extravagant; yet I get comments from colleagues or people who know VCA prices, such as:
1) "You paid this for that? Why!?"
2) "You know you can get a nice diamond for this."
3) "Is that........? I was going to get one until I saw the price."
4) "Do you know onyx and MOP are abundant and very inexpensive?"
5) "I wouldn't buy it."
6) "I understand celebrities wear them, but you are not a celebrity."
Ok, fine and enuf said. I'm always happy wearing my clovers despite these comments and nothing will stop me from wearing them.
Really? Wow, thanks for the information! My SA was trying to see if she can place a SO for me, I still haven't heard back, it's been couple days already. Maybe they're trying to cancel the order as well.
London Jewelers - they have the Turq+MOP in size 53; TE+MOP in size 50, I didn't ask for MOP+grey MOP at that time, but it's worth a try.

I know SF NM has the TE+MOP, can't remember the size though. I guess it was meant to be. I have to pay my taxes anyway so it worked out my ring was canceled. Hope you find one you like and one that fits!
Hi All,
Im planning to get my first VCA piece. I like the alhambra collection and prefer something simple with one Clover motif. Would you recommend a necklace or a bracelet as my first piece? Also, which color?
Thank you.
