They had something at VCA 5th for the new Perlee pieces ~ of course I didn’t remember to take photos of anything. The best pieces I saw from the collection were NFS (belonged to a very sweet and super-chic lady) - she had the ring with the arc-shaped stone in Turquoise/YG AND the Perlee watch in YG, with the watch cover in TQ and the other end pave (I believe it was SO). SOOOOOO gorgeous!
My SA was very careful to show DH my favorite piece, the Liane, and tell him how unique it is, worksmanship, details….oh, it’s SO good!

You look gorgeous! You can "share" your SA's contact info on your phone with your husband and have him save it on his phone.
Tell him it will come in handy if he needs to order a surprise present for you. It's "easy, no effort, just text the SA"... done! He will like that.
Love your new hair color. It creates a glow around your face. The ombre is a nice touch... looks great.
That’s a great idea, but she is waaaay ahead of that; we had dinner with her and her husband over the summer. He was very impressed with her; they get along great. TBH he has no idea exactly what any of the jewelry costs (he has a general idea, although usually I fund most of the purchases myself, with him “helping” because his gifts are usually my Hermès bags; he appreciates the jewelry and is happy to help with an SO, but I try to limit it and handle the bulk myself because of the B/Ks).You look gorgeous!

Thank you for the compliment on my hair.
To do this, they make it blonde first, and every time I am tempted to just stop there, and then I’m like, nahhhhh!!!! It’s tricky to maintain with the color shampoo/conditioner, I have to mix the colors, so I generally use a light hand with that and it gets progressively lighter until it’s a pale mauve. The ends are ombre, but not as light as in the photo (like my avatar).I only get self-conscious about it at times like last night, when we went to Friday Night Lights at my younger son’s WASP-y high school (he is on varsity football this year, his first varsity game, he got a nice tackle in and was thrilled to hear his name called by the announcer). Someone asked me if I have tried gray and I am considering it (Oh the irony ~ covering my gray with gray!?!!)
Gray is super trendy! When I get a few more gray hairs, I want to try the gray trend too (my hair is currently highlighted a purple fuchsia, done via biolage).That’s a great idea, but she is waaaay ahead of that; we had dinner with her and her husband over the summer.

I really do like your pink ombre now. Looks beautiful on you. Colorful, but not harsh. Gorgeous.
I think this might be MY favorite VCA piece for you, cause it’s all about me right
. There is something so stunning, unique and yet low key about this piece that makes me feel like you can wear it for a formal event or with jeans and a t-shirt. Like anyone near you would want to lean in closer and stare at that piece. I absolutely adore it on you.

Thanks, guys!!!!
I know, I know….this has always been sooo good, and the price just keeps going higher and higher. I might have to sell about half my wardrobe, but I think if I don’t make the commitment to get it, I’ll always want it.
Oooh, purple fuchsia sounds FUN!!! And again, you are always so kindGray is super trendy! When I get a few more gray hairs, I want to try the gray trend too (my hair is currently highlighted a purple fuchsia, done via biolage).

I love the 3 over the 2 on you.Vintage vs Magic earrings
Hi fellow VCA lovers
I’d love some advice on the next items on my list - the 2 & 3 motif earrings (attached mod shots for reference).
I have a pair of Magic Malachite earrings, and the Magic size sits perfect on my ears. However, I’ve steered away from the Vintage size ones because they’re not as comfortable - I have big earlobes and unfortunately my piercing is also quite high. Do you think the earrings are sitting weird / not cantered on my ears? (If I centered it, too much of my earlobe gets sqooshed in the earclip lol)
But I absolutely love the 2 & 3 motif earrings and I’m considering them seriously. My SA did say they can do two things - 1) change the earring stick to a longer one & 2) loosen the earclip so it’s more comfortable. I wouldn’t know if these changes would help ultimately, and they can only make these changes after I purchase the item (presumably non-exchangeable once I move forward with these adjustments).
Have any of you experienced something similar? Please do share your thoughts with me! Thanks so much!
@Notorious Pink I am curious what you meat regarding not centered? I am about to get my frivole small pave earrings. Would love to know what is considered center (maybe I am one of the OCD
. thank you.
