This is an unusual story that has an unusual ending....
In October, we went to Newport, RI for a wedding. We love Rhode Island, and usually go once a year. Since we have done so many things in RI over the years, this year the kids wanted to go to the International Tennis Hall of Fame. OK, let's be real, for those of you who really know me....this could only mean one thing... I"M OUT!
I have noting against tennis, I hate all sports equally. I do love watching my daughter play tennis....even if I can't figure out that weird scoring system.
Back to the story.....a stimulation package was due for the local stores of Newport. The very first store I entered was Sequin.
Are you familiar with it? They make the most fantastic jewelry. They have something for every occasion, but it is probably their enamel bracelets that have made them famous.
In addition to the Sequin stores, the jewelry also sells in Bloomingdale's, Neiman Marcus, and Nordstom just to name a few. This is what a typical store looks like.
Could you just die? For visual people, this is truly eye candy.
Everywhere you looked was more visual beauty.
The combinations are endless. I must have tried on over 100 bangles.
Even Ms. "O" fell in love with them
Here are the ones that came home with me
No, I won't wear them all together. I figured this would give me two great combo's...the white, gold, black and gray
And the ever classic navy, white and gold
They are so comfortable and have the perfect amount of "clang" to them.
I was in love....but it was short lived. I started to feel really guilty. I wasn't happy anymore....can you guess why?
Come back tomorrow for part 2.....

I do love it when my bangles make "music". You have my attention so I will be back for part 2....
I'll be back. They are gorgeous. I wish they had extra small size bracelets.
Love your choices! i admit to oohing and ahhhhing over the blue and turquoise ones. Gorgeous!
Love, love, love the white, gold and black and gray together - can almost hear the clang that is wonderful!
I know, I know. You felt bad that you didn't buy any for your friend Elizabeth so you went back but they were closed? :) LOVE your pics.

I cannot guess why! I want all of those bracelets-- my inner Veruca Salt is showing! I need to go to Sequin very soon.
Loovveee sequin!! I have been to the one in Palm Beach- it is so fab!
Hmmm, either the gold rubbed off all of them or you suddenly realized you absolutely love tennis. :)
DYING over that store - I don't know how I'd ever decide what to get!
